Motorcycle.com article - Living with the VFR

I bought my 5th gen (yellow) with a mere 5500 miles on it. Its not perfect, but it is pretty clean.

The bad news is that since I live in Jersey, we get snow, ice and other weather related incidents that prevent from riding year round. The good news (I suppose) is that since I can't ride year round, the miles don't rack up quite as quickly.

As the others said - ride it an enjoy it!

 

Ride it Joner7777,
They are great bikes to look at, but better to ride IMO.

 

A mate of mine has owned 3 VFR's over the years (1 x 5th gen and 2 x 6th gen) and he wishes he had never sold his first, the 5th gen. As for me i ride an R80 BM but have just bought a 2001 VFR on Ebay. I fly across from Perth to the Gold Coast to pick it up and ride it back next week, it's my 40th b'day present to myself!

 

So short story shorter how I got hooked on the VFR is a friend had a 5th gen (red) and I rode it a couple of times and I was hooked. I heard about the 6th gens V-Tech and was curious enough to buy one. I love rideing them both equally. I beleive your hardest decisions will be.... what color is best for me, where do I want to travel once I have one and what accessories do I want to have with this bike. Another problem you may have is what doctor to see to remove your per-ma-grin. (although members on this site can not help you find said doctor. We have learned to live with this from our experiences on the VFR)

 

Spookey - I swapped my SV for the VFR. Best thing I ever did

Does anyone else see a trend starting to emerge here :wink:

 

Am pleased with what I read on this thread. Eight years ago I was casting around for a bigger bike and the choice came down to an SV650 and the VFR. I am glad I bought the VFR, though for the first few days I thought I had bought a bike with too much power. I rev it regularly to 10K up the local mountain pass now and its just great.
That said my son has a Suzuki DL650 and it is also a great bike.
