    my new bike

    Well I sold the beast and was on the hunt for summat that fits me better
    I wanted lots of torque. Good but not cutting edge handling.decent brakes
    comfortable riding position and most of all not bloody heavy.
    well guys after many years of kawasaki and yamaha ownership i've gone over to the dark side of the force.
    Yep i'm the proud owner of a 1990 Honda VFR750
    It sounds soooo good -Once I get the rear shock back from reco ill be out riding her.

    Never mind, you will see the light again.

    Looks nice and tidy, got a bigger image?? Easier to get the knee down than the GS. Have fun and listen to that sound

    A girlie and a new bike, what a great week your having.

    You got a serious rate of turnover with your bikes though. What are you trying to do, own at least one of everything?

    thought for a moment you had got yourself a cruizer
    But no, not gone over to the dark side at all

    Nothing wrong with a VFR750 mate.

    I'd buy one myself.

    May you have many enjoyable minutes on this one before you trade it in in January.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Ohh ye of little faith. My thinking with the vfr is --if its good enough for freddy its good enough for me
    And for the record ---Mellla yella has now beeen mine at least 6 months and the whale I owned for um er-well years.
    actually its all your fault--all this talk of high speed cornering and scrapeing knees has me wanting summat that handles.

    Well, a Honda is certainly better than no bike at all.
