Howdy!

New to the board. My brother has a 91 VFR-750F with 21,000 miles that he wants to sell to me so I came here for a little research.

 

15Dawgs... he's your brother, just start riding it until he gives it to you. :tongue:

Hope you find what you're looking for.

 

...until he gives it to you. That's the way to go.

Welcome to the herd.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcomes! I have the bug bad over this bike, just have to convince the wife that I need it!

 

My friend... that endeavor took me 18yrs. Best of luck to ya. May I suggest a whole pile of psycho babble to the point at where SHE is convincing YOU that you need the bike. :wink:

 

Just a few points...I envy you for several reasons...you are about 2 months closer to your VFR than I am to mine AND you have your brother to share motorcycles with. I lost mine 10 years ago to a sudden illness. He always loved bikes and I didn't get into them until a few years ago...he never got a chance to see his little bro ride. So, cherish the chance, tell him you love him...then, grab the bike for as little cash as possible!

And sorry to move off-topic but I have to ask Derstuka, why did you change your avatar? I always liked your last one but have to admit watching the new one for SOME TIME! Where is the original video from? I always appreciate your perspective on the forums. Thanks for the info and the laughs!

 

That's the nicest thing I've ever seen written for the dive bomber and I almost thought Stuka set up another account for a second. :wink:

Sorry to hear about your borther... :frown:

Enjoy your rides :typing:

 

Thanks for the sentiments Nozzle.

I thought "The Dive Bomber" has been quite mild in all of the posts I have read since finding the forum a few months ago (and I have read ALOT of old posts in researching the VFR--thanks to all!). Some other regular posters seem to like to stir the soup with fairly strongly worded replies but Der Stuka doesn't seem to very often. (Oh, my bro loved German WWII hardware and especially the Stuka...I can't fly one but I can play the Stones real loud and twist the throttle in his memory!)

 

Thanks for the quick answer! It sorta looked like Bob Barker at first but I couldn't imagine him being part of something like that even if it was so obviously "set-up." I love the fake "I'm so modest" look and actions.

Anyway, with 900+ posts, you deserve some fan club action...you senior members have made this site what it is...a great resource for Viffers in particular and MC riders in general. Keep it up!

 

Tell your wife that a real man always should own a good bike.

And a beerpump in the livingroom. Hehehe:biggrin:

And the garage key is yours, not hers.:biggrin: :biggrin:

 

That's part of the problem of the wife convincing since I have a shiny Aprilia Futura in the garage already:wink:
You know how it goes "you already have..."
My brother is actually trying to talk me into getting a newer model. My main reason for liking this model is the sound which I am not sure the newer models have to the same degree as this one. Can anyone shed some light on the difference in sound between the generations? Is it a function of exhaust pipe configuration or something deeper?

 

Well.... I do undersend what you are talking about. If you want another bike (and I really do know why :biggrin: ) Then I remind you, The garage key is your, not hers :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: If that does not work, go for the beer pump.:smile:
