NS31 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 54 by now, but got my first VFR (1986 model) at 41 fullfilling a deep buried dream that came from me being 18 years old and looking at hometown Honda's shop window exposing the brand new 1986 VFR, white color and worth 44.000 French francs at the time. Started bikes at 14: had the ugly but attaching Honda MB80, then a Yam RDX125 followed by a 350 RDLC 2nd gen. Stopped a few years then went back with a Shanyang 125 (when expat in Taiwan), a Kawa 500 KLX and between my 2 VFRs a BMW K1200R sport. My current 5th gen is the best bike I ever had. In some weird ways, I found back some 2 strokes (exciting) feelings on it. Never thought I could ride a yellow bike too and well...no plan to change 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many bikes have come and gone, but the 4th gens have stayed around the longest. Not my favorite "Touring" bike, but it's the one that speaks to my soul the most. Â It's been a good run, and with luck there will be many more miles ridden. Â 1980, with everything i owned... Â Looking at this photo, it seems as though younger-you and Don Grady from "My Three Sons" could have been brothers . . .

Member Contributer Belfry Posted May 21, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2022 59 for a week. Street riding since my early 20s. Minibikes (including the venerable CT70) and dirt bikes as a teen. Found a photo of my 1982 Seca 650 from the mid-80s.   Always a stickler for proper gear: Arai helmet (good), long-sleeved T-Shirt, thin leather driving gloves, Converse runners (not so much 😆). Haven't been anywhere on the VFR for two years. I'm hoping the plague will die out this summer so I can tour again.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
