The rest of us out tearin' it up on our bikes are the young ones, no matter how many times we've been around the sun. I'm not going to get old - I'm just refusing delivery! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowen Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Congrats! I'm in almost the same boat; 55, kids not self sufficient but close. Mortgage got paid off so there are no more reasons why I can't own some toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbear Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Welcome! Wow, Tallpaul that VFR is beautiful. Looks brand new. I'm looking for another 6 gen. VFR to add to my collection. I just hope I can find one as nice as yours. Good choice in motorcycles and have fun, that's what it's all about. If you're anything like me you'll obsess over that machine. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to make a 11 hr round trip in van to get her but with 32000 miles on clock and a price of £1300 I could not let it pass. Literally saw it advertised and was on way within an hour. I’m very lucky to be honest had been looking for one for a while and was getting a bit down about the condition and previous life they had. Only issues I’ve had are sticking front calliper. Strip down clean and new pads did the trick. she still turns a few heads and I get a lot of guys that appreciate her when I go to meets. to me all the vfr range up to gen 6 are styled so well they just don’t seem to age. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
