The only problem I've ever had was with a loosely fitted sidestand and with the stalling problem until MotoRapido set it up properly. I love the 749 but a recent track visit confirmed that it's made for the track, not much has been compromised for the road and as a result it can be pretty uncomfortable. You get used to it and learn to avoid long periods of slow traffic.

I've never MOT'd a bike before but I will this one, there's nothing I want more than this.
BZ,
Agreed I've spoken to several dealers who said they can fix the stalling but it happens so infrequently I decide not to spend the money to fix it. Having said that I think I was only quoted £200 or so to have this resolved which is peanuts compared to Honda's prices to fix the VFR

Cheers,

Ed
