07 red -white and Blue retro VFR

Sorry if this causes some grief, but thought you'd all like to see what I saw today at the Seattle Motorcycle show.

















Nice huh?

there could be more if you're all nice

 

Very Nice!

 

Love the r/w/b, but hate the gaudy gold tank badge. That red looks really nice though.

 

Wow! I ordered my '07 RWB about 8 weeks ago and am impatiently waiting for it to come in. These photos don't help pass the time, but thanks for feeding my addiction. If you have more photos, could you PLEASE post them or send them to me offline? Thank you!!!

 

I hated the R/W/B till I saw your pictures. It is good looking

 

Hey guys, no matter what color the VFR is a beautiful bike and I love the rear tail and the exhaust - great look (the rear fender is still butt ugly). I do not like the color blue and only wear black jeans and never wear blue (I really do not like blue - bad luck color for me which is why I would never ride a bike painted blue - crazy but true). I gotta admit even a guy who does not like blue can say the r/w/b color scheme is ok and why be anti-patriotic (they should have added a few stars but maybe that would end up lookin tacky). I think it is crazy that they do not offer the bike in the most basic colors - Black and White. Red is also a hot color for bikes and Silver is another great color. Until recently when I purchased my Yellow VFR I was not a fan of bikes painted Yellow and was calling my Yellow 2k VFR the "Schoolbus". Well I guess I have changed my initial opinion mainly because the Yellow VFR is very noticable to most motorist - aside from that which is very important, a lot of women like the Yellow and think the bike is hot. I still may have my bike repainted White or Silver (metal flake). I am in NYC and if anyone can recommend a good place to have my bike repainted I would greatly appreciate the information. I am trying to get all the suspension work done first during the winter and by spring I should be ready to have the bike repainted. I am still of a crusier mentality and I gotta get the frame and wheels chromed and shined to a blinding brillance. If getting the bike repainted becomes an issue financially I may see if I can get the 1998 F3 Tribal graphic kit and use that with the current Yellow paint job on my VFR. When it comes down to it what matters is if it is your bike do your thing. Even color cannot destroy the beauty of a VFR!!!

 

The r/w/b looks better in your pics than it does in the brochure pics. I am not a fan of red, But the red offerred for 07 is a shade of red that looks great.

I'll also take both the CBR's on each side of it, just to have a set to satisfy my squid moments. :thumb:

Oh, thanks for torturing us. :wink: :biggrin:

 

here's a couple more for your viewing pleasure.














Enjoy..

 

I need to get a towel to clean up the drool on my keyboard
Is that the new 600RR next to the Candy Red Viffer ?

 

I have to agree about the tank decal. Silver would be much better
to match the one on the bottom. I can tell ya if I can ever afford
to have my bike painted by a pro thats what its going to be. It
looks VERY sharp!

 

But then it wouldn't match the one from the 80's when the bikes were actually raced and we really introduced.

 

Sweet. I actually dig the gold Honda wings and the maroon, but if I were to pony up for a new one it would definitely be the retro. I'm going to the show tomorrow - I can't wait to see it!

 

You mean this one?



Not sure, hahaha

 

Great pictures ... standing next to it, both the wife and I were just speechless .... we kept going back to it all afternoon. If I was buying now, there would be no question! I'd almost be tempted to trade in my silver 05. On another note, I was disappointed they didn't have the new red white and green duke 1098 only the red one (unless I missed it somewhere along the way). Again! ..Good show on the pictures :clap2:

 

Here ya go, no you didn't miss it. it wasn't shipped here, I asked. So best I can do is look at this.

I noticed there are no grab handles on the rwb. Just curious if they are available. Also I am wandering if saddlebags are an option and what color?

 

Funny I saw that too, figure they are like my 4th gen in were you take em off to have the cowl on. as far as matching bags goes, Hmmm good question..

 

I'm sure the handles are available and I heard the bags are going to be blue.

 

The Sydney Motorcycle Show was on a few weeks ago, the only VFR there was a burgundy colour.

IMHO the RWB colour scheme gives the VFR the look of a CBR1000F.

:smile:

 

sorry, i have to be the one guy that doesn't like it...at all. it reminds me of an old yamaha i used to have. i'm just not into the whole retro thing. but now that red one is just plain sexy!
