If the manufacturers made an 800cc sportbike, would you ride it?

Imagine...

a Honda CBR 800RR
a Kawasaki ZX-8R

So what happened to the 2009 VFR 1000 that was suppose to be released? I've been hearing about this bike for the last few years, and everyone seemed determined that this bike was for sure coming out finally in 2009. But nope, nothing from the Honda camp, as all the new bikes have been announced.

This bike has turned out to be more overrated than David Hasselhoff - even MCN went on record saying this bike was coming out this year.

I have been running the new look of the forum for over a month now, but I am pleased to bring it to the live site...page load has been decreased by over half of the previous theme on the site so things should be loading much faster!

There are still some graphical tweaks, icons, buttons, etc. that I will be working on over the next few days.

While everyone is sitting in Live Chat right now, I am upgrading and installing a plethora of new features here on PNW Riders, including the new blog feature.

Each user on the forum can now have their very own blog.

I will post more about the blog and all the cool functions that it encompasses!
