    Hi Neil and Welcome to the MadHouse:Welcome:

    Kudos for supplying a photo with your first post and double for choosing a red VFR which are always the fastest :potstirrer1:.

    Unlike mine those fairings look in great shape so if you have not already spotted it - you may want to consider fitting frame sliders - as these bikes are fairly top heavy - especially when you have a full tank of fuel and at a quarter tonne they can quickly pass the point of no return and end up taking a nap whether you like it or not. Perhaps the 39 pages in this thread may give you some food for thought..

    Take care ATGATT

    51!. Hell you have just reached puberty in comparison to many. Nice ride. I have always liked that colour or similar to. I have had tow vehicles a similar colour and always admire other I see. Your mileage is very low for what you should expect. I am over 222,000 km on mine and the only real problem I have had was the clutch recently. Everything else would have been routine maintenance. And I guess at my mileage, rebuilding the clutch could be also considered maintenance.

    Welcome to the land of insanity, bravado and sometimes questionable drunken character.
