A guy in our BMW club owns a '17 VFR 1200, and I saw it for the first time last Wednesday. I did a little looking online and discovered the VFR's go back farther than the ST, it is considered a sport touring bike, though perhaps with the sport aspect emphasized, has a smaller gas tank, shorter range, and more power. It's styling is also not as integrated as the ST - the panniers hang on the bike rather than look like part of it like the ST.
What are the other pros and cons of the VFR, especially the motor and handling?
