Sold my VFR...

Sold my VFR....just to buy another one.
I found a 2007 RWB anniversary with 22k km for sale. I always liked that model but never saw one before in NZ (apparently there are only a couple of them over here). I just needed to have it, but had to get rid of the other bike first. Lucky enough it sold pretty quick and I bought the anniversary the same week.
Except for the exhaust (LeoVince) and the windscreen (ZG Double Bubble) the bike is unmodified. Didn't really like the looks of the screen, so I put a stock screen back on it.
Changed the oil and clutch fluid and checked the air filter. Air filter had to be changed (was probably still the first one). Read some reviews about air filters and decided to put a Pipercross filter on the bike.

Last week I had a PC V fitted and remapped the bike on the Dyno. Didn't have much time yet to really try it out but one thing I really noticed, the throttle response is really smooth now. Especially in city traffic.

You've probably seen a RWB before, but nevertheless here are some pictures:

 

That's a might fine swap :thumbsup:

Enjoy

Very nice. Would love to have one of them myself. Congrats and enjoy.

 

Cool glad it is all work out for you, now go ride her :thumb:

 

I love my silver but the RWB is awesome. It reminds me of my old 83 VF750F. Very cool color scheme. Well done and best of luck! :congratulatory:

 

Time to change your avatar!

Big fan of the RWB colors as well.

 

maybe I should put the stock screen back on-I got a ZG screen on now!layful:

 

What generation vfr did yousell to get your new one? If its an older one what stands out to you as the biggest difference? Congrats also on the rwb vfr. Looks real good.

 

Hey I notice your wheels are gray. Is that standard in your part of the world? In USA they are black.

 

I actually think 2006 has a great color -Pear Black with little stars in it-I saw a RWB and didn't think the colors blended together very well. But the best models are the 2006-2009 abs black pearl with the 2006 having the least tax bill-anything new-the tax man really charges a lot. I think mine is really nice, so far I changed the oil adj the chain, have new tank pads coming and new adj folding levers, I am installing right now R+G sliders-I had the seat cut down 1 inch-may get a sargent seat later on- I plan on doing a full lower job around 2 inches-maybe put the stock wind screen back on-its clear, I have a black on now-don't like no being able to see though the screen!

 

i like your cans :black_eyed:

(fan of Leos)

 

what-:snowman:s the weight difference between carbon and alu Leo cans?

 

I sold a gen 6 and got another gen 6. The first one was a red from 2004. (the one in my avatar). But I liked the RWB much more, so I just needed to have it :crazy:

That's something I didn't get either. I think they should be black also. But the previous owner bought it second hand with the silver wheels and didn't ask questions about it. I guess that somewhere down the line they got swapped. It doesn't really matter. With the next tire change I'll probably have the wheels powder coated white.
