Just bought a VFR800.

I have had my 04 VFR since Friday. And I am loving it. 5 years ago I sold an 04 Classic(Harley). I did not want another Harley. A couple of friends ride sport bikes and I wanted to try it. Glad I did.
My name is bigJ and I ride a Vfr.

 

:welcome: the the madness :wave:
Glad to have you, enjoy your new ride let me guess it is red and it is fastest Colour :crazy:
Just a note of warning: peeps around here they don't believe anyone until they see some photootstir:
Make yourself like at home.

 

Welcome to the WORLD Big J.

Cost of a used VFR, varies by model............
Cost of owning a VFR, varies by model..............
The joy of becoming a new VFR onwer, PRICELESS.

Have fun with the new bike, as we all know you will, and don't forget to keep her shiny side up.

 

Welcome, bigJ!

Where ya located?

Welcome aboard and enjoy the bike!

 

PICS?... :banana:

 

as has been said

 

Congrats on the great new addition to your family! The Gen 6 is gonna treat you so nicely!

Throw up some pics when you can, but no need to rush - I'm sure you'd rather be riding!

 

Here is one picture for the guy who rides a parrot.

 

Paint is looking a bit faded, maybe I could offer to polish it for you to bring that sheen back. LOL. Nice looking bike Big J and though I doubt I would have to guess, I hope you enjoy your VFR as much as I enjoy mine.

 

CONGRATS!!! the VFR is simply the best commercial exercise of engineering in two wheels, only surpassed by the NR.
Really a Pour Sang for everyone.

Ride, twist, tour, circuit, go to job,... go to track... go to mountains with a backpack... Good for all @ relatively few bucks.

 

Hooray! a picture! My parrot will be pleased (if he ever shuts up long enough to look).

 

If you need any help with the bike or paint contact Stoshmonster he live near you.
:wink:

 

Paint is fine. It's matte black. No waxing :biggrin:

 

Any slip on pipe recommendations? I don't want obnoxious Harley noises coming from my bike. I want something that when I roll the throttle it sounds like sweet...

What about bags? I want to install some. Hard ? Soft? Helpful hints would be appreciated.


Taller handlebars too?

 

Heli bar, vario

Staintune, Leo,

OEM hard bags are on sale for $417
Let me try to find those link for you

 

I have a feeling that any painting encouragemet from Stosh could get expensive!

Opened the air filter box and found a corn silo tonight.... A little bit irritated!

 

I had Cortech soft saddle bags as well as the trunk bag. I have since bought, painted and installed a set or OEM hard bags. I like the hard bags better but have to say, those Cortech saddle bags served me extremely well for a number of years and for a few very long and extended trips. I like the ability to lock the OEM. They do carry more stuff than the Cortech. And they are easier to get on and off. I gave the saddle bags away. They were still in very good shape regardless of the use I got out of them. I still have the trunk bags. I am considering a hard trunk case but haven't made the plunge just yet.

BTW. Welcome to the world of guys who spout outrageous claims, think they know everything, and all have enzyme deficiencies.
