    Hi Guys
    I finally found the "one". I picked up my 1993 VFR750 on the weekend, it took about 9 months but the search is over. Although I live in Canada I ended up with an imported US bike but I got the pearl white I was looking for. I am blown away by the condition of the bike; it looks like it could have rolled off the showroom floor 6 months ago. I has 22,000 "miles" on it and has been well looked after. Went for my first ride on Sunday and was totally impressed with the power and handling, reading about guys hitting the rev limiter just blows my mind; it will be some time before I get anyware near that end of the tach. One question, when I got home after 2 hours of riding I noticed that the upper frame was hot to the touch (not just warm). Also my right leg was noticeably hot later in my ride. I know that the exhaust runs up and out the RH side but is it normal for the whole upper frame to be hot to the touch after a normal ride?

    Sorry guys, just found the thread on this subject. As long as it's normal were good-to-go.

    Welcome to the gang...

    Nice to hear of another pearly white 93 in these parts. Not much of the pearly white left on mine, come to think of it (streetfightered), but I'm only about 20 minutes from you in Delta.
