Honda VFR 800 (pre-VTEC).
Nickname: Ned
The VFRs were picked as the mile-eater of the fleet. Each is fully equipped with 45 litre top box which, can take 2 full face helmets, and a pair of 35 litre side panniers with inner bags so you don't have to remove the box when you get you where you are going. Each box has a lock for additional security.
The high-lift wind shield and auto chain-oiler make the this bike ideal to take you any where in the UK or Europe. Lots of room for two, and totally comfortable on long rides. I have done over 1300 miles in 2 days on one and was still walking about as though I had just done a trip from Manchester to London.
The VFR has a 21 litre fuel tank giving a 150-180 mile range. Excellent all-rounder which will do just what is asked of it, and with a nice v-four power plant making 125 bhp will happily sit all day at what ever speed you want.
