Showa suspension components may not be top shelf, but they still impressed our testers. Damping rates were on the soft side, but still provided a firm ride in the twisties. Six-piston Nissin calipers clamping 320mm discs brought the VFR to a stop quickly with linear feel at the lever despite the linked braking. Dunlop Roadsmart tires heat up quickly and provide excellent grip and neutral steering for this heavy machine.
