    Just bought my first VFR. It is a 2000 vfr800. I love it, runs great and looks great. Already had my first mishap, lost the right side plastic. The original owner had repainted it and they didn't have all the screws in. OUCH. But i will find some replacments asap.

    Well I finally got a picture of me on my VFR. My cousin has an 87 vfr 700 and we are enjoying some cold night rides but they r great. Cant wait for more rides to come. They are my way of relieving stress. Nothing like it in the world.

    The guy I bought it off of repainted it and did not bolt the underside together. Should have looked at it a little closer. If anyone has any info on where to get plastic for a 2000 vfr 800 f1 please let me know. Thanks for the warm welcome

    I have bought replacement plastics for my 98 from servicehonda.com but others here have used ronayers.com and bikebandit.com to similar results. I'd compare them all and then do a quick check of fleabay...
