Look Who's Back, 3rd Gen VFR in Bakersfield for $600
vfrcapn replied to Tirso's topic in Third and Fourth Generation VFR's
Only 631180 miles, definitely broken in. -
I think it was V4 chocolate crankshafts in the MS! But, I do think they've worked it out, Duc sales were up 90% last year lead by the V4 Multi. I had a '16 and now a '20, they've had some small issues, nothing that left me stranded. The '16 had leaking fork seal that was only solved by a new fork under warranty. But Ducati's nanny attitude towards "it's" owners get's annoying. The '20 gained a few hp and inches in the wheelbase, the '16 definitely felt smaller and more nimble.

Double nickel here, 55. Didn't start riding until early 30's though. Hoping to keep riding to my 70's at least, my '99 VFR will always be in the garage and get a regular workout.

What is this lower triple clamp?
vfrcapn replied to Captain 80s's topic in Third and Fourth Generation VFR's
It doesn't look like the offset to the steering stem is the same between the top and lower, so probably mismatched. -
Nice work, that looks as clean as the VFR. I put 200K on a '79 Capri 5.0, then a few more years on a '86 Mustang LX 5.0. Fun cars.

Great looking bike, looks like new, like mine 20 years ago. I had the same 'stang back in the day too, although not to the state of tune that one looks to be.

VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years
vfrcapn replied to Dutchy's topic in Earlier VFRs
Keep riding! Was about 5 C today but I got caught in fog with under 50m visibility coming home. It's a good challenge. 👍
