Right now what I really need is an efficient bike for commuting. My commute is an hour each way and like I said in my previous post it is costing me $15 a day. I have been thinking about selling the VFR for a while now.
One of the problems I am having is finding parts. The bike is 12 years old and Honda is starting to discontinue a lot of the parts needed to keep up the maintenance. One example I ran into recently is radiator hoses, they do not make them anymore. I managed to find some on eBay but I am hearing from others that there are other parts that will not be available and the list is growing.
This is my second 4th Gen VFR and as much as I love the bike I just cannot afford to be sentimental about it anymore. I need every mpg I can get at this point. Everything about the 250R will be cheaper than the VFR from maintenance to insurance.
I am getting to the point in my life where I want a more upright, comfortable riding position anyway. My son is starting to show some interest in riding with me and I am thinking that
one of these days I will probably get a Honda ST1300 for more comfy 2 up riding.
