Member Contributer JZH Posted August 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2015 You've snagged a great looking bike. Always loved the yellow and miss my '99 dearly. ps. I think they look even better with white wheels ;-) Thanks Lorne. It does look nice with white, but I prefer black powder coat....so far Get the white wheels and have Lorne clean them!

Member Contributer MorganSteele Posted August 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2015 Congrats! Great bike. I know, because I'm the original owner of my 2000 VFR in yellow. Rode through the mountains yesterday and I don't expect to part with the bike any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on this being my ride for a long long time!!! I may get a second bike someday, but I will never sell this one. It's just too damn much fun to ride!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DFerrell Posted August 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2015 Rode my 2000 to Athens Ohio a few months ago to visit my Dad. Did a 850 mile day to get back home. That sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted August 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted August 3, 2015 Welcome to the asylum. Very nice ride you have there. I've had two Y2Ks and the yellow, while not the fastest color (that'd be red *), does make one younger. I had mine earlier in my 60s and it made me 16 yr. old. So if you are 20- or 30-somthing, beware. It could make you a child. So enjoy it like you are one. (*note the color of the wheelier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you are 20- or 30-somthing, beware. It could make you a child. So enjoy it like you are one. (*note the color of the wheelier) Thanks!! I am 1700 Miles in (3 Weeks). Previous ride was a CBR1100XX, I had done a few long days and wanted this bike 15 Years ago, so I had no reservations about flying to Cleveland and riding her home. I took an 80 Mile spin to lighten the tank in preparation of the 32K Service today. This bike is so comfy, it's crazy. I have stock bars and I feel like I am on a dual sport. The shorter wheelbase has the handling light as a feather. Then, the V-4. I shift as much as possible around 8.5K RPM. With the stock pipe, all I hear and feel is a growl that is amazingly addictive! When I was a lurker, I thought I knew why you guys were so jazzed on the 5th Gen. Now it's confirmed. Thanks again to all for the warm welcome.

y2kvfr800 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 A huge selling point for the 5th Gen, if not the most important. I work for Honda now ('10 - Current"), but as Pirsig made clear to me 20 Years ago, I see motorcycles in the "Romantic" v "Classical". I lurked on the two VFR sites and went through with this whole crazy idea, because of all of you. I always thought the VFR was cool because of Iron Butt entries, but when I learned the Yellow one is arguably the best (5th Gen), it was all over. ETA: 5th Gen ETA.2: In the effort of context, I forgot to "quote" Max above. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was advertised in Cycle Trader as "never been dropped", and I was really excited! Unfortunately, it isn't the case. She's been on her right side, it only took knowing where to look. Once in 15 Years and 3 POs, I am not complaining. The POs took great care of her, as will I. I am going to leave her as is, with no more mods...(for now). I am enjoying riding her nearly as she rolled off of the showroom floor.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRpilot Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Another vote for white wheels. But all of my VFRs have white wheels now. Help, I am living in a sea of red VFRs near Seattle. I vow to never own one! Not that I don't like them, there is just too many here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
