VFR 800 V-TEC. Anyone got one?

Thinking about snapping one of these up within the next few weeks, what with winter being a good time to buy and all that. They seem to hold their value pretty well though.

Anyone comment on them? Any good? Ideally need a sports-tourer, with emphasis on 'sports' whilst still not screwing your back/neck after a 4 hour blat.

Never ridden one but from what I've heard they are very good bikes. The vtec comes in, in a bit of a step, rather than progressively. I've also read that the servicing costs are a fair bit higher than the old VFR. (If you've ever had an Italian bike, though, it'll probably seem like a bargain.)
