Ninja11 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Traded in my 2009 FJR for the 2014 VFR Deluxe. This machine is a pleasure to ride smooth, planted and comfy. Attached are pictures of the beast without bags and with. Also I included its garage mate for grins. Just out for a spin today as weather is hitting 70F, but two days from now, snow is being called for. The forum threads are very informative and will have some questions soon.

Ninja11 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Matt, Never been to Summit Point. However, had one track day in CA when visiting 2 yrs ago. Thanks for the welcome and the zx10 is fun like candy. Alittle bit goes along way. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Congrats on your new VFR and welcome to the forum! Nice stable, too! I'd love to hear why you decided to go from the FJR to the new VFR, if you don't mind posting the reason(s) sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja11 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Tim, Thanks for the welcome. A few of the reasons for changing from the FJR to the Honda: Less weight--(a lot) Most of my riding is in not on the superslab and the FJR for a sports tourer is acceptable in the twisties, but you are working hard to control the beast. Bike was getting close to some major service work so it seemed time to move on. 2014 VFR Deluxe had needed features..ABS/Traction control, heated grips..etc No sixth gear on FJR making it hard to keep power in band on twisty roads. Good reasons to keep: Shaft drive 150 HP Great on highway for long trips Lots of room in the hard cases Adjustable windshield -greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
