Recommended Posts

Hy guys! my name is Sorin and i am from romania. first off all sorry for my bad english. i started this topic to share my vfr experience. i have ouned untill now 3 vfr's rc 36. 2 of them including the one i will show you where 1'st gen and one second gen wi 11038919_809526525794172_794964479580934444_n.jpg.45f11892280e7ed3d854123838e1298f.jpgtch i was very upset when i had to sell it. this was my second gen vfr that i owned.

anyway...befor having this bike arround 2011 i have ouned a first gen vfr. back then i have found another one for scrap (this is the one i have started the topic for). the bike i have bought with 400 euro from a girl in bucharest. it was in bad shape. actualy dezastrus shape. but i have bought it for parts just in case something broke at my 1'st gen. of course nothing broke at my 1'st gen and the bike i have bought was moved from place to place mainly outside because i did not have room for it. it was driven few times by some friends of mine, ma of 500 km. it was a junck. after i have bought the second gen, then a z1000 (the orange one in the pic). the scrap bike continued to be rained, moved from place to place, until it got close to my garage entrance. few months have passed and one day i could not bare to see it like that any more (december 2018). in the next post i will show you the pictures with the bike when i have bought it and how is turning out for it now10540359_681501375263355_9122837251480048822_n.jpg.851b31f397d573b4b0ef03b753ae24ad.jpg
