    Hi all,

    I just picked up a beautiful two tone pearl white and black 2009 VFR800 about 6 weeks ago.

    I've always respected Honda as they have built some beautiful bikes over the years but being a hardcore, green-bleeding Kawasaki fanboy I never thought I would own one. When I saw the previous owner pull up on it for the first time I was in love (with the bike lol). To be honest, I didn't even know this bike existed until I saw it on Kijiji and after researching it decided to take a look at it.

    I was blown away by the low end torque, the buttery smooth ride and that vtec pull on the top end. It's a REALLY nice bike to ride and I'm looking forward to spring when I can really get to know her.

    The previous owner had done many upgrades to it, nothing really left that I would want to do except the seat...not sure if it's because it's 10 years old or if that's how it is but I don't like it, rock hard and not much support. I'm going to order a Sargent seat unless someone has a better suggestion?

    Anyways, long winded intro but I am excited about my new toy and I look forward hanging out on here and learning more about her.

    Cheers,

    Nice to see a few new members showing up here, welcome to the nut house.
    One suggestion to transform your ride is to upgrade your suspension with our guru here, Jamie at

    Looks like the previous owner put a lot of love into that bike

    Congrats
