New member - just picked up a new 2007 Interceptor

CoryUT · 09-23-2009, 08:07 PM

I figured this would be a good spot to introduce myself. I rode it home from the shop this past weekend, and I'm pretty excited about it! My first bike was a Suzuki SV650s. I sold it about a year ago and bought a Ducati ST4s from my father. I have been looking around at new bikes for the last month or two, as the Ducati hasn't really been holding up for me recently. I needed a good, reliable bike to serve as a daily commuter and a weekend carver. The Ducati has broken down on me several times in the past few months, so I turned my eye to Honda.

Anyway, here it is:

I've got about 150 miles on it at this point, and so far it's been great. I look forward to learning from this forum as I have from the respective forums of my previous rides.

That's hard to believe since I've never heard of a Ducati breaking down

Welcome aboard and enjoy your new Viffer!! There is a reason why you see see plenty of older high mileage VFR's on the road! Treat her right and she'll last you a lifetime.

Regards,
Rollin

welcome to the dark side. you have entered the VFR zone, from which there is no escape. not that anyone would want to escape.

congrats on your new VFR. she is beautiful, and as has been said, will give you many years of grin-inducing riding. welcome to VFRWorld.
