    Almost forgot.

    Spotted a nice Silver 6th gen. last Sunday 6-10-12 at 4:25 PM on Hwy 59 just past the railroad tracks about a block north of Main Street in the town of Evansville,Wisconsin.

    I was the goob riding the RC51 wearing the Red Joker helmet who gave you a wave.

    Spotted, approached and talked to a fellow 25th Anniversary owner at Hawaiian Falls Roanoke, Texas Last week. If you read this forum, I got the battery replaced and she is ready to finally get some miles on her. Drop me a line so we can get on the road.

    Almost every day I meet a red 7th gen between Hartsville and Darlington SC on Hwy 151/Bobo Newsome. I usually meet him in the morning and the afternoon...Evidentally our commute is in opposite directions at similar times.

    The Tiger is running well and is lots of fun. It is just so EASY to ride. No technical or reliability issues so far. The engine is the real charm on this bike. Lots of power and torque over a wide RPM range due to the 3-cylinder design (and it is especially neat for me since my Daytona 675 engine was the starting point for the Tiger engine so there is nice relationship between the bikes). The only downside is that it emits a bit more heat around one's legs than some bikes.

    But when I see a VFR on the road I still have great memories of my 6th Gen.

    I was just by the Nat Guard in Shelbyville to golf at Bear Chase - man that course needed water BAD! I play there once a year - sponsor a tourney there. Anyway, if you're ever by Kokomo and wanna ride let me know!

    Spotted! 6th Gen (I think) in Nashua NH Friday, July 6 on 101A.

    It was bright yellow with Givi saddlebags and trunk painted to match. I was on the CBR1100XX.

    WOW, so I wish I had my camera handy with me walking around the grounds of the Mid-Ohio Motorsports Park this weekend. As you can guess AMA was there this weekend, so it was bikes galore. VFR's everywhere!

    I saw atleast 8 different Gen 6s, 2 Gen 5s, 3 Gen 4s, and 1 lone VF500F. I tried yelling at the 500 rider over the bridge but he didnt hear me...

    An older sighting: Last Wednesday, about 8:30am, parked at an apartment off of Route 46 in either Mine Hill or Roxbury (not sure which town). Its was an '07 in RWB and had a set of Laser pipes on it! (I was in my car, but those Lasers are unmistakable).

    I can't believe it. Saw another VFR today. 2 in a week is probably more than I've seen all year.

    Bike was red. Not sure what year. You were traveling Westbound on old Route 25 from Mendham/Chester. Making a left onto Main St./Rt. 513 (by the Exxon). Rider was wearing pants, helmet and a sleevless T-shirt, but luckily you had a backpack on in case you go down.

    I was stopped at the light headed in the opposite direction. I was the guy on the yellow bike in full gear.
