New member now owned by the VFR...

Hey,

First time I rode the VFR I was like "where have you been all my life...?"

Recently purchased a red 1996 VFR 750 with around 9,950 miles...it seemed like low mileage for a 12-year-old bike and was very clean mechanically and body wise. Always garaged, too. And for around $3,700 not too bad a deal, I hope.

After coming from my 2005 GS500F (which I still have and like but will likely pass it along to the wife), it was like stepping up from a tricked-out Corolla to a Lexus. Silky smooth drivetrain, plenty of oomph when urging the throttle and the retro cat-eye headlights and body styling has made it a bike I really enjoy. Will post a photo soon...any riders in the Louisville, Ky. area -- let me know! Thanks...And I will be learnin' more about this bike from all you VFRexperts!:whoo:

 

welcome. I don;t know about KY owners, but there a bunch of us near cincy.

Welcome!

 

Excellent choice! If you have a chance to post up some pics that would be

 

Welcome to the club, HH.
We like to see the older generations in good shape.

 

some photos finally

Thanks guys! Here's some photos I took today...I'm kinda a graphic geek so I added a little typography to the images. Best money on a bike I've spent in a long time...

 

Thanks, Derstuka! I feel I lucked out...I was kicking myself a few weeks ago when I whiffed on an opportunity to purchase a YZF600R for $3,500 that had 6,000 miles on it...I acted to slow. When I saw the VFR in person I was like "Oh yeah...what was that other bike?" Plus, they're kinda rare around here (at least, I haven't seen many) and stand out amid all the gixxer 600s, FZ6' and such.

Maybe I'll meet up with Sir White Knight sometime...
