Hi! My nickname is iggi, I live in Southern California. I have been riding for about 10 years and for the past two years have owned a beautiful Honda VFR 750. Year: 1993 with under 32,000 miles. I joined the site so I can post about my bike because I am putting her on the selling block. I barely ride my bike, and I know that she deserves alot more love and attention. I hope to find a buyer that will be happy to ride her all over town. With the sale of the bike, I will use part of the $$ to save for a sportster. Once a rider, Always a rider..that will never change. iggi motochika.net
What's that. Some jock at a MC shop? Good luck on your sales. You must be a good mechanic if you are getting a sportster. JK
LOL! I have an excellent mechanic who i have been going to ever since i started riding. Thank you Im in the san fernando valley , I can honestly say I dont feel like i really got to enjoy the VFR as much as i would like too. I hope someone else gets to enjoy her full glory. She is one pretty bike. Ty for the welcome.
Come on man...a sportster ? Let us SoCal boys take ya out fer a day....you will change your mind....you dont even know what ya dont know about the VFR.....give it a chance
To each his own on the sporster. Welcome to the forum. Are you set on a HD? There are some realy nice cruisers out there that dont rob and rape you at the same time. :biggrin:
And if you are buying because it is American Made. Parts for HD are made mostly out of the country. Only assembled in the states. I use to live in York Pa and HD was like 3 mins from my school. I learned alot about them there and the biggest thing I learned was that They over pay there work force and you over pay because of it as a consumer.
I am not against Harleys, but just be warned: sportsters do not hold their value and most everyone I have ever known who rode one wanted a "real" harley within the first year, or wanted nothing else to do with Harley. The being said, I think the old throwback to the dirt tracker they made is pretty cool. It's no comparison to a modern sportbike, but it's no slouch in the fund dept.
Im not set on HD, i see some street honda shadows that have made me look twice. My mechanic who i trust and have been a loyal customer, i trust his judgement on the bike. I feel secure in my decision. One friend of mine said to me..."hardley ableson" So its def not set in stone.
