Greetings to all! My name is Jon Koopman and I live out on the border of Idaho and Oregon. I'll be turning 50 later this month and have been riding since childhood. My street bikes have been an '84 V65 Magna, an '85 V65 Magna, a '95 GSX-R750 and an '01 GSX-R1000 (many track days on that one:smile. I currently own an '07 Hayabusa an a '99 VFR800 that I picked up in March from the original owner. After trolling the board for a while gleaning VFR info, I bought a Delkevic high mount SS and love it! I have wanted a VFR since 1988 when I heard a VFR400 take off from a gas station in Japan. The combination of sounds from the V4 and the gear whine was intoxicating! The original owner named her "Vanna, put 53k miles on her and cared for her very well. Vanna is quickly becoming my all-time favorite ride! It's great to be here, and I hope to be able to add to the community!
:welcome: to the nuts house JK :wave: Glad to have you with VFRW :thumb: Sound like you just score an Amazing one owner 5th gen :jaw: But........... ound:
Welcome to The World Jon! I will agree with you the sounds the 5 Gens make is intoxicating! Hopefully you've been lurking around enough to know what potential issues and gremlins these bikes have, but with proper care and a mod or two can keep them running like a top!
Nice, and just look at where you live and play, just about in the middle of the best there is road wise. Bet you hit up the snake out of Enterprise a few times huh? Good to see you here, don't let the goof balls scare you off. Also, we need photos just saying.
