    Hi guys,
    Well I finally made the jump and bought a VFR. A red '99 to be exact. I have been looking at them for a long time and a deal came up on CL here in Denver that was too good to pass up. Looks a little more comfy than my TL1000R ;-)

    Well I hope to learn a bit here and figure out what mods I can start playing with!

    My 5th Gen was a 1999 model that I bought new. It is a great bike. You're going to love it. I had no problems with mine. Welcome to the forum.

    Welcome to the group Musashi! This forum in my opinion is the best one out there on the web. I was not impressed with VFRD, and the people here are just awesome and so easy to get along with. There is a ton of usefull info and everyone is so willing to help out also. You will love your new ride and did well by choosing the VFR. :thumbsup:

    Wow what a response! I am hoping to learn a lot here. The bike is pretty much stock besides a set of risers on the clip-ons, probably better that way(to start with at least). Kinda funny that I bought a bike that is older than the last one I had new(2000 TL1000R), oh well when a good deal comes by you have to get a jump on it. Time to dig into it this weekend and see what can be done :unsure:
