    Hello all, I'm back on a Honda after a 21 years with the BMW brand. I still have the K1200GT, but just picked up a 2002 VFR with 8K miles in pristine condition . My last Honda was an ST1100. Been working on the VFR, changing all the fluids, new battery, spark plugs and the like. Lots of good tips here...thanks.

    Located Eugene Oregon

    Welcome aboard. People here can be pretty sticky about proof so try post some post some pictures of your bikes.

    Nope...bought it locally from a retired gentlemen who has run into some age related problems. Hence the need for general maintenance.
