The bike has a stable steering geometry, but it can take on twisters at respectable pace. I replaced the front wheel with a 17 inch wheel from a GSX-R250 (bolts on without any modes), which makes the handling more quicker, but with the smaller wheel, the bike stands with less lean on the side stand, which can make it less stable on canted grounds. The ergonomics are good, and I liked the extremely slim body/seat as I am a dirt bike rider and appreciate slimness on a bike. I attached a lower cowl I took off of a wrecked VT250F, but had to adjust the size for a slimmer fit, indicating that the VX800 frame is slimmer than a VT250F frame!

It turns heads wherever it goes because the noise is absolutely gorgeous even other bikers on their glitzy £6000 bikes just stand and stare it's got a unique presence 20 years old and still very much a contender.

One flaw both these machines share is footrest location. A true cafe racer has rear-set footpegs, but both these bikes have the same mid-mount location you'd find on a '70s-era Honda standard...
