Hi Everyone
Just acquired a 2015 model. Done less than 1300 miles. Beautiful machine. Already own Fazer 800. Keeping that for 'dirty riding' and the VFR for dry miles if possible. Hope to go to UK on it soon.

Hi, welcome to the site & VFR ownership.
She'll take the wet weather, as long as you wash her down regularly during the winter. Mine's just finished her third winter of commuting and she still looks pretty good after 36k miles.

Thanks Skids. Just about to do the tyre pressures. I read the controversy over pressures on the other thread. I'm going to try 36/42 same as my Fazer and every other middle weight I've had. Thoughts welcome.

Actually 36/42 is the official Honda pressures for the 2015 model, also works well for me.

It's the standard pressure for sports/tour tyres. Always used it on all my VFRs.
