    Hey all.
    Long time stalker of the VFR's as I always new I would end up on one eventually.
    At the time of getting my first "big" bike there was nothing that was quite right so I ended up with an SV1000.
    While I really liked the SV it just never really felt right as I new I wanted that V4 Growl and Gear Driven Cam whine.

    So anyway here she is.
    old SV attached also just because.

    I don't plan on changing a lot as previous owner has her looking real sharp but a few minor changes here and there to make her my own and a few pieces needing powder coating to match the pieces already done.

    Came with PCIII fitted but not dyno tuned.
    Delkevic high mount Can.

    I plan on going to a Staintune can and tuning the PC.
    I'm running a high flow DNA filter

    But for now just enjoying the ride and that sound and keeping her clean haha.

    Cheers.

    That I the 2007 colour of red isn't it? It really looks sharp on your vintage bike. Welcome to down under from the up over.

    Cheers mate.
    Its actually Mazda Soul Red. Looks great in person and especially in the sun with the gold fleck.
    These photos dont do it justice.

    Old owner didn't like the old red starting to fade so gave it a nice fresh coat.

    Looks very similar to the 07 Burgundy red. Love that colour. I know photos don't do justice to colour. Would love to see it live. I have admired that colour on Mazdas recently.

    Hi Justin and welcome to the Madhouse

    5th Gens have quite a following on here if only for the cam noise. I have never seen that rim detail before - it looks like it was someone pride and joy, and should serve you well.

    Have fun Ride Safe
