    Hi everyone,

    It's been ages since I posted, I figured I'd reintroduce myself. I've had my '98 VFR since 2014, she's faithfully carried me all over the UK & western Europe except for about the past three years where she sadly spent most of her time sitting in the garage. I thought about selling her to a better home, but now that she's up & running (and run she does) again all I can do is grin and think of how it would break my heart to see her go.

    So I simply have no choice other than to resolve to take her out more often :)

    Hi!

    I get your point.
    Everytime you try to convince yourself that you can make without your bike but in the end you realize that's just a lie :D

    Enjoy your V :Rockon:

    You're not wrong! I had mine as my coaching bike at CMP last weekend. Still excellent (although it is a BIG difference from my track bike)!

    hah, well yea, the ol' VFR doesn't have the raw power or corner grip that my RC51 has, one can't be compared with the other. One doesn't always need a fire breather, though.
