Hi all

Quite new to VFR world thought i'd say hello and say What a great machine the VFR is. Having been a loyal rider of Honda's for some years now CBR600 RR. I recently purchased a 2008 VFR800 Abs. All I can say is WOW.

Should a got one years ago, touring good, leave brain at home mode FANTASTIC.

At present trying to get suspension set up, CBR was set up for the track and handled very well on the road. so with summer around the corner plenty of late evenings, riding around Scotland, with the excuse ringing in my ears "just getting suspension sorted, it will benefit your safety dear"

There's a couple fellas here that know just what ya need when it comes to susp. One common modification is to change the rear shock to an Ohlins set up. Some go so far as to change out their front forks too. I guess it all depends on what sort of riding you do. It sounds like you know your way around bikes already. Have fun with your new toy.
And Welcome Aboard.
