It's not a great drag racing bike, but if that's what you want, there are better choices.

I wont even look at the vfr 1200 with its dual clutch and other useless parts. I love the old VFR format and I refused to buy the ones with v-tec and onwards just because of this needless complexity.

I don't see any irony in that. And not that it is relevant, but I wouldn't want to pay that much for a guy to plug in an extension cord either.
