    Should I swap my CB1300 for a VFR1200FD?

    It wouldn't be me, I think you'd miss the cb and every review I've read slates the vfr. Plus personally I think the cb is a better looking bike.

    No.
    You have the blade as the sporty option and the CB is a far better looking beast than the VFR.
    You have a great contrast in bike types between the blade and CB too!

    Thanks for the thoughts, the offer is a Black new pre reg VFR1200FD that is Dual Clutch for £9300.00 and £5000.00 for my bike, 2009 plate, the idea is to do more distance work with the wife with the luggage etc.

    But I do think I would miss the CB1300 + the ins is more than twice, the CB1300 is very cheap to ins.

    Thanks Again,

    Rob.

    You wont get on too well with distance work with the VFR.

    I had one as a loan bike for a service and it was shocking on fuel.

    My 1300S is much easier on fuel even when thrashed.
