Re: Official Motorcycle Thread

Unfortunately this is the current state of my 1997 VFR750. The 4th Gen VFR (94-97) has always been one of my favorite bikes, this is my 2nd. Unfortunately the previous owner didn't really take care of it all that well so as a long term project I am completely tearing her down and replacing, repairing or just refinishing everything from the ground up.







Here is a picture of her the previous owner took in his garage.



Unfortunately I do not have pics of all of my previous bikes but here are a couple of my most recent.

1996 Honda Goldwing Aspencade - bought her in 1997 from a guy in North Palm Beach, FL with only 800 on the odometer. Unfortunately I had to sell her when my son was born for something more practical with 4 wheels and 4 doors. After 2 years I managed to get the same amount that I had paid for her when I bought her. Of all the bikes I have owned I think I had the most fun with this one, it was a different kind of fun than the thrill of a sport bike, the wife and I rode the Wing almost every day together while we owned it...



1996 Hone CBR1000F - I bought this one primarily for commuting in Orlando. Can't tell you how many young guys in what they thought were hot cars got their arses handed to them at the stop lights Heck I even managed to surprise a few of them with the Wing



My son (now 8) has expressed an interest in riding with me. If I am in a position in the next couple of years to get a new bike I am seriously looking at a larger sport tourer like the Honda ST1300 or the new Kawasaki Concourse, maybe even a newer GL1800 Goldwing.
