    I have my 2010 VFR1200f sitting with the forks and kickstand off and am trying to decide if I part or repair.

    5500 miles runs perfect Amsoil still looks clean Body work almost looks new except for scuffs on front fender. In Western NY. Any interest in parts let me know. Title clean and clear propeller shaft replaced.

    Why would you part put such a low mileage bike?
    It looks good from here.

    Bike was backed into twisting front end I have a check coming for repairs and looking at my options. Most likely will order parts soon regardless I have a habit of swapping bikes out for something different often anyway. Thinking about getting a 4V Touno for next season.

    It would seem far from totaled.

    I tried out a low mile V2 Tuono but after my Buell 1125CR it felt sort of flat in the power department but excelled in rider confidence. The Buell was totally nutz wanting to ride on one or the other wheel. I loved the stoppie at almost every stop nature of the beast. V2 Tuono did really feel like a better street bike.

    Yes it was up, Just bought it for a trip to Maine it did not make because of the poor driving of a coworker. Seriously the guy has a back up camera too. I will be ordering pats on Monday unless I get a serious offer for more than trinkets. Probably keep this and get a Tuono and let my little Duke go. I have been running around doing test rides to figure out what to get and the VFR is hard to beat.

    I would repair the Viffer.
    It is gorgeous model with the candy red paint as well.

    After having a Viffer, other motos are hard to compare and you may find yourself wishing you still had it one day.

    Went through that with my Buller 1125CR miss it every day! On the fence with getting another or EBR over the Tuono. No other bike made me laugh so hard all of the time.

    Its common for fork legs to twist and break the front fender, don't ask me how i know this. Main thing is that the steering stops on the frame aren't broken, then you should be good to go.

    90% reassembled. Just. Need to button up the last bits and wait for a break in the rain for a real test run.

    The VFR is fixed and rolling. I burned a tank of fuel off today and think I used the slipper a bit too.

    Seems my original suspension must have had springs put in them as these are soft but not really too soft for street riding.

    I think I will up the fluid level until I get a good progressive feel.

    The VFR1200 feels like a tanker after riding my 690 Duke and Tuono 1000 R for the last weeks.

    One thing I would like to add if you buy your OEM parts stay away from BikeBandit unless you are a certified Honda Mechanic you have no protection and they will not refund for any parts you have issue with.
