    My 2002 VFR has been sitting in garage since 2011.Its in pristine condition with very low miles,the only thing visibly aged is the windscreen.Pretty excited to get it running again and will keep everyone posted.

    everyone loves before and after pictures..........lets hope you drained all the fuel out before you stored it. I recently bought a 90 vfr750 that has sat for 10 years. First part to go was the fuel tank. Badly rusted but i found a good used one. Lots more work to do. Clutch doesn't work brakes locked up. Time is not on your side. Nothing likes to sit for 10 years......even me.

    Whoa!!! The key code is stamped in the ignition switch (usually in a place that is not easily visible). Do some disassembly and have a key made to that code. And then write it in your owner's manual.

    I think that there are folks on Ebay and others who will make you the key and send it to you.
