Member Contributer tsmitty 148 Posted May 3, 2023 Is that an old 600 turbo? An old riding buddy had one like this, the exhaust collector rusted out and the old girl sat and died a slow death. That was many years ago... Nice collection! Quote Link to comment
Member Contributer bmart 740 Posted May 3, 2023 I always wanted a turbo, but that is anFJ1200. I owned three of them. Lovely bikes! My first VFR ('99) replaced the last FJ I owned, a '93. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't remember what year my friends bike was but he always complained the bike was a handful excelerating out of a corner when the turbo kicked in...lol Quote Link to comment
Member Contributer bmart 740 Posted May 4, 2023 And tire tech wasn't nearly what it is today. I had my last VFR on the track on sport touring rubber. Totally predictable! Quote Link to comment

This was back in the olden street days I think I was riding a 550 Four that was all street ratted out. I only raced a few times about 1990-1992or3 and always on DOT's , never had the cash for slicks, mounting and un mounting or dedicated race wheels. But your right my VFR was so predictable, I sport toured with the bike all of the 14 years I first owned it. 1 Quote Link to comment
