So the romance ended short, so hopefully the VF500 is not to mad about the VF400 affair and still serve you well

So, going against the odds, way to go for you! Nice looking bike for sure

all pics seems to have dissaperd..................

Well I considered a lot of bikes, but the Crossrunner is a bit more street focused than I like. If it had a 19" front wheel, perhaps. Comfort for pillion is also high on my list and the Crossrunner passenger seat looks thin. I know my wife liked the 3rd gen better than the 5th gen as a passenger (but both better than the 86 vfr).

Thanks! Yes, I hope both the VFR as the Tenere finds a good new home!

Thanks! Well I still have one 600 Tenere, but it's part's in boxes. One day....

Yes, the Tenere has some Dutch DNA. I do wish for solo gravel fun as well... As twisty tar roads, like my local green hell

Well, to get a long story short, I might just been burned out, having mid age crisis, or just in need of a change, but tomorrow the 86 VFR750F RC24 as the 89 XT600Z Tenere will be picked up by a dealer, so these 2: Nice bikes in many ways, but as my wrist after the 2 surgery I had last year don´t allow me to use 100% of the 60% throttle twist movement I have left on the VFR, and the Tenere is not a bike to ride whit a pillion, I made a deal of a bike I tought I would never buy, a 1200GS BMW, exactly this bike: It will be delivered tomorrow as the dealer picks up the VFR as Tenere. Got a good deal I think, same money for the VFR & Tenere I would get selling them (sadly non are a cult bike where I live as in some parts of world), and the finance for the money between has 0% intrest rate! And if some one is wounder what year BMW, it´s a 2010 BMW 1200 GS 30 year anniversary model, bike is issued 02/2011 and has 34k kms on the odo. Ok, I could have bought a Crosstourer, but this BMW happans to be at the Motorcycle exhabition...And it ain`t a Harley or a Goldwing, so guess it´s not that bad choice after all 😄

OK, as I now know my wrist will not let me use full throttle movement in the position the hand is on a VFR handelbar, and as I say full movement, I talk full movement of the ~60% movement I have left after the operation I had. I can however use full movement on my Tenere! But to the point, as much as I hate it, I don´t want a trophy in my garage, I don´t have time to ride 2 bikes, so I decided the VFR has to go. Its now complet, and t will be picked up tomorrow. More of my future plans in a other topic.... So today I did take final pictures, was a sunny day so perfect for that.

Quit cool as using a Crosstuorer

Man, you sure do!

Thouse would have come handy a few years back when I did ride my VF500 from yours to Stockholm, ~600km in 2-5C temps sure get to you bones even you just keep 130km/h

Ok. Not much new here. got my wrist god enough to have the old girl out in the sun one day while cleaning the garage a little then it was time for wrist operation #2 a week back. before that I confirmed the subframe is bent on my old girl. Have to see if I can bent it back when wrist allow (during winter) or I buy a healty one.........
