I sold my bikes three weeks ago with the intention of using the funds to buy the bike I've dreamt about since I was at high school. Unfortunately that turned out to be a bust and I was left bikeless :no:
I went looking for a bike that would do until I found something else. So I came across a VFR800 on trademe and thought I'd give it a try.
Well was I in for a shock. :gob:
She had everything I wanted, she wasn't as fast as I was looking at originally but she was surprisingly quick. So I took her to a favourite stretch of road to see what she did when I through a corner in her way. To my surprise she took the corner without any hesitation.
So I tried a few other bikes but I couldn't get anything close. And eventually I bought the VFR:

After three weeks without a bike, the first thing I did when I got away from work was take her on a 90 minute ride covering around 150KM. And was absolutely brilliant for the trip, simply devouring KM. But alas my body wasn't up to it. Sore legs and back about 30 minutes in. Turns out in 3 weeks my body had turned to sludge.
I decided to do the only thing I could. Finished work tonight and took her out again. Still sore from the ride yesterday, I thought this ride was really going to hurt. But after another hour on my new bike, I had worked my bike grove into my ass and the pain had gone away.
Weather permitting Kaikoura will get a visit from a bright red VFR800 tomorrow. :woohoo:
