Yahya Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hello everyone! I bought my 2010 VFR1200F (GCC make) in Feb 2023 with 68k on it. I retrieved the bike at a great deal but unmaintained condition and a lot of yikes finding on the bike after buying. Thankfully, I managed to restore and improve the bike condition a lot with the help of this VFRD. Riding in Oman is interesting: the air is hot (40°C, imagine sitting in front of an oven with the hot air blowing to you) during summer, and cold (19°C) during winter. VFR1200F is a smooth machine, even during hot days. Here is the bike before I'm buying it: And this I took this month: (almost got stuck in the sand) Many thanks to VFRD and helpful members. Cheers!

Check this air temp reading I took at night time in July (peak summer) shortly after cold-started the bike (see 1 bar engine temp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted January 18 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18 Welcome! I had a job interview in Muscat a few years ago, but it didn't work out. I had a few days to drive around your beautiful country, however, so I'm very glad for that. My plan was probably to get into 4x4ing, rather than riding in the heat--40C + high humidity--that's hot! Ciao, JZH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
