Oh and I forgot my VFR has the linked brake system that requires bleeding from 5 different points and requires the removal of the tank and airbox to get to the proportioning valves. Also to replace the brake lines with stainless it costs $300. They also eat regulators and require annual cleaning of all wiring connectors since they have such a spaghetti mess of wiring that uses small wires that will fry if resistance gets too high. Don't get me wrong the VFR is a refined machine that is a wonderful ride, it is just that compared to a nighthawk the maintenance is a lot more, and it's significantly more costly to operate.
