Love this shot. Great angle. Great Colors, Great composition. But oh dear that bike is bloody...................................BEAUTIFUL.

YAY! Oh I miss my old 4th gen (NACA DUCTS 4 LYFE!)

Yes, you have to drill out the the holes. it isn't much, mostly just the existing threads, but you aren't going to reverse it without a tap&die and custom bolts of some kind. I have no intention of going back to factory, I only use the front portion of the Sargent seat so that the cowl creates a nice little storage space for rain layers / spare visor / etc.

they are the Sargent quick release pins. not exactly a great deal price wise, but they look and work just fine.

Rode off-road from Hwy 108 ( Near Pinecrest) to Highway 4 (Arnold) on Hell's Half Acre Road, it was 63 miles, but took around 3 hours with a few wrong turns on the spaghetti fire road system. Then we decided to ride over Ebbets Pass (8,736') on highway 4. Then we took a right on highway 89 and over Monitor Pass (8,314'). After gassing up in Walker, we took 395 south and then headed back over Sonora Pass (9,623') back to our campsite. Over 200 miles of twists and turns.

Does it contain an addendum on the O-ring of the solid rocket booster?

I love this photo, slo1. The red VFR stands out and the curves leading to the mountains make you want to jump on and GO!

Yes, they are powder coated a very HRC brownish gold.

NICE! I love the gold wheels almost more than I love the white wheels that I sometimes see people put on these! Did you powder coat them?

Thanks for getting a red Multistrada featured on VFRD! Beautiful shop.

Pig? All VFRs are equal, but some VFRs are more equal than others!! Red NACA's are the best!!!

What a nice example of a 4th Gen. I never get tired of looking at the lines on these bikes.

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.

I spent the time with 5 friends, we had a really good time. I needed a relaxing vacation, I rode 5 demo rides most were so so the Aprillia Tuono, that ride was insane..factory sponsored demo ride was absolutely insane. We were really flogging those bikes. Possibly replacing the veefalo. I'm debating on the mt-10 sp, or the ktm 1200gt. Both have semi active suspension. I like the Yamaha reliability and easy parts. But I really like the ktm. The Tuono is not comfortable to ride for me..fun though. I need more relaxed ergos now.

The furthest inland I've been in Oz is Broken Hill. Up and back in one day on my 1st Gen VFR.

That is Sailing Yacht A in the background - owned by a russian oligarch and seized by the Italian authorities in March of 2022.

As always slo1. You obviously have a very good eye for composition, lighting etc. Very nice shot mate.

Track day! Sunrise at Sonoma.

Nice bike and jacket!

Yup! It was an article I read in Bike magazine over a decade ago that gave me the desire to do it. Christchurch Honda rent out the bikes. It HAS to be on every VFR owners Bucket List!

The 600 may have been quicker, but it sure didn't have an ass like that!

I get that this was taken in California, but I saw this photo and immediately recognized the Oregon coast vibe (rocky, overcast, and cold looking). Also, I knew it was the Pacific Northwest rather than Maine because the ocean was on the left.

Absolutely superb, oh to get my hands on one of those! Beautiful shot of a truly beautiful machine.

Not too shabby for a 30 year old bike 😉 Love the Euro graphics, too

Still awesome 👍

Fall colours and a red VFR, with left exit exhaust no less, makes for a great photo.

Another gem photo slo1. Excellent composition and lighting, your shots are all very nice indeed. You have a good eye and talent with a camera. Cheers.

Suck less: Great words to live by.

Last time I was on this road it was ~4:00 in the morning. There were about a bazillion stars in the sky but I was too cold to stop and enjoy 'em. I'd spent a chilly night on the side of the road a few miles east after finding there was nary a room to be had in Blanding. Fortunately, dawn had come as I neared Hanksville - time for coffee.

Love seeing the two 5th gens, of course, but pretty cool to see a photo of that Buell! Very rare bike now.

Very Cool!

Washington Hwy 20.... great ride on a blue bird day!

Solid as a rock!

Why am I not surprised?

She's a red hot classic, nice shot.

LOL 😂 Looking at the original in super magnify it would appear to be a fly on the fly.....

I was wondering the same thing? My GUESS is a mark or fly ect on the lens? Great photo.

Used to be a guy around here that had an early '60s fire truck. It got used a lot for high school senior pictures, wedding parties, limo service, bar hopping and rabble rousing in general. Lights and sirens worked and he had fitted the area normally used for hose storage with bench seats and cooler.... You get the idea. I never had the opportunity to ride/party on it but he stayed pretty busy driving people around through the warm months.

So shiny it looks wet. A really "the fastest color".
