Ergonomics too heavily favor sport riding. It is still comfy, but it doesn't match the plushness of the suspension. High price tag, but almost no extra features to show for it and a very basic dash.
With a bit of work on the suspension and ecu tuning side of things, it really turns the bike into what it should have been.
The X model had a few tweaks to make it a better adventure bike. A bit less HP, and a bit more torque below 4000rpm. Obviously cosmetic and suspension changes as well.

Was not sure when the F was discontinued...hell it was a surprise to suddenly see the X version popping up in the dealership when i went to go look at the 1200s again. But then again i still have my original "F" the VF750F that started the line up so no big loss from my point of view. Truth be told i thought i would eventually move onto a newer VFR from that bike instead i ended up on the Softail. Go figure.
