Me as well, Shadowrider, I'm figuring about 10-15 years riding, max (hopefully more, of course) My wife told me I deserved to be selfish once in my life, so I ordered the VFR. I don't see me doing wheelies or stoppies, so the bike will probably not be abused in any way. My wife wants to ride and this bike is probably not the best thing for a 54 year old woman to climb onto, but this one is for "me" and if, just if, she even slightly enjoys it and only complains about her butt, I'll go out and get a comfort ride for the two of us (FJR??). This strategy prevents me from being saddled by a big bike right away. I had a friend who was killed racing in AHRMA a few years ago and I'm sure his last thought was how much fun he was having at that moment. That's how I want to go and as near as I can figure this bike will give me the means, but hopefully not the opportunity.
Yeah, I'll likely keep it a while.
