sorry been really busy, the vr1 is a very capable bike with a back end similar to my iron horse sunday, feels super plush and almost bottomless travel, the fact that the tubes are all made of steel not ally is the biggest plus point, awesome bike, and nearlly a collecters piece, so i would say go for it...but im biased as i own one
