Duplicolor: Bronze Mist Metallic
Love that color.

Pretty damn cool. Love it.

I do love that dark red combo. Classy on that bike. Nice.

Killin' me slo. Looks just like the 95 I just bought and waiting for the shipper to finalize logistics to get it to me. Has the Staintune as well.
Nice.

Kinda looks like just outside of Leavenworth.

Reminds me a lot of Mount Rainier National Park

Is that the 907? Looks like the original Paso with 16" wheels.
ALWAYS wanted the 907ie.

They are Avon AM22/23 Sprint Compound road legal race tires. The reason they look so good is because Avons run quite a bit wider than the nominal size. Plus they are 70 series but have a perfect profile on these rims. 120/70-16 and a 130/70-18 (which they now list as a 135/70-18, but dimensionally identical). They are the best bias ply tires I have ever ridden on. They are VERY expensive now.

That angle looks like you're leaning and looking left on a right hand turn. :)

Nice!!!

What is that in the sky to the right of the bluff?

I'm pretty excited. Wanted something that we could go 2 up on and still be sporty. Rode one down the Washington and Oregon coast years ago and we loved it. This only has 26K on it.

Great looking bike. What yr. model ? and how much $ for all the mods. ?
Thank you all very much. It's a 1986 VF500F
I have owned this bike since 1988, so all of the things done to it have been over a long period of time. One of the first, was the Telefix lowers, followed by the Spec II pipes and Telefix Clip-ons. Then just kept doing more over time.
It is still one of my favorite bikes to ride. Every time I get on it after riding some of my others, I always say to myself, "GODAMM I love this bike!"
So again, thank you for the kind words.
Sincerely,
Mike.

I do believe that is on the Ben Howard road outside of Monroe. Yes?
Love that little section!

Staged after the crash.

Zero drag
I actually have some wheels and brakes changes in the works for this bike. Not huge performance gains, but some bling for sure. Should finish the look of this bike nicely.
