    Smile Got me a new bike - Honda VFR800

    I was a happy chappy when I got my learners licence!
    I was a much happier chappy when I got my GN250!!
    I was a much much happier when I got my full licence!!!
    I was a very much happier chappy when I got rid of the pain in the ass GN250!!!!
    Now a very, very, very happy chappy now I have a new bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got myself a Honda VFR800 and I absolutely love it and find it very good to ride.

    Would like to give my thanks and appreciation to the crew at TSS Red Baron (Lower Hutt) who tolerated my stupid questions and numerous test rides over the months (I’m sure that they thought I was a tyre kicker but said nothing and only too happy to help).

    The entire crew at red Baron were great especially Jimmy who I had the most dealing with.

    Highly recommend them to anyone wanting to look for a high quality used bike or a new bike.
    I confess to know everything there is to know about absolutely nothing at all!!!

    All good Paul, glad we could help you find the right bike that suited mate. Always a pleasure to deal with enthusiasts such as yourself.

    You only need two tools in life:
    Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
    WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.


    Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
    Failure comes from too little brute force, or
    too little ignorance.

    Me, I am getting rid of my VFR800 and getting a VFR1200. The 800 was great but the 1200 is just superb.

    ...but the 750s were the BEST EVER!

    The mans certainly picked a bike with one of the best heritages ....I believe the VFR range has won "Bike of year" title more times than any other motorcycle produced! (AND best sport tourer...and best sport bike...and...)

    ...love the new 1200! , great bikes! , another fine example to add to the amazing VFR family (Please post pics and review when ya get it...ya lucky bas@#d! )

    When Life thows me a curve
    ...I lean into it!
