Just a note to say hi

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Bob I'm 54 years old and would like to take up riding again after a 30 year absence. I'm very interested in the vfr. Most people try and talk me into a cruiser but I want something I can have a little fun with.arty2: My bike 30 years ago was a 73 750 triumph Bonneville. I know the vfr is a lot of bike to start back with but I think I am mature enough to ease back into it....Bob

 

Hello Bob. I looked up the bike you had and the weight of the bike is a little lighter than a 6 Generation VFR, the VFR power almost doubled of that bike. I too looked at the cruiser's and wanted more of a sporty bike for fun around town and in the twisty's. The sport bikes of today make you lean into the handle bars more than I want and the comfort was not there for me on longer trips. I have been very happy with my 6 Gen so far and have put 5,500 miles on it since I purchased it 70 days ago.
I'm sure you will find a lot of good info here and friends as well. Good luck on your search.

 

Thanks for the info...I'm looking at the fifth generation models now and really like the bright yellow 2000 model. M.D....I'm located in the small town of Mt. Blanchard just outside of findlay to the north of you...Bob

 

HI Bob and welcome to VFRWorld. You should be fine with the VFR. Just remember to take the time to get used to it. :thumb:
