Which VFR Should I Take? (SE G2G)

Hey guys

I find my self struggling with a serious moral and spiritual question. WHICH ONE? Next weekend is the 2010 Southest G2G at the Dragon's tail, and I have two Interceptors that are both running good, new brakes, good tires, etc.

In the red corner, at 24 years old and still kicking out plenty of carburetor fed horsepower, the 1987 VFR700 F2

In the blue corner, the much younger, bigger version, four year old, fuel injected, VTECH 2007 VFR 800.

I can't make my mind up. Will you guys do that for me?

:doh:

 

I vote Red Corner.:hi2:

Either would be fun.... but there's something about ringing out the old school V-4 :rockon:

 

old skool. nothing since 2002 has been interesting

 

As an owner of an '86 my thought is go with the '87...unless the 2007 is an anniversary.


Nah, go old school.

 

trailer both down and ride them both

 

that would be ideal, however, Comicus and I are making an event of getting there!

 

hmmm i wonder if i can make this event when were blah blah blah.????

 

i would rather take the newer bike....although the 87 will show alot of character

 

ditto:2guns::2guns::2guns:

 

Okay i was out giving the 87 some hell the other day and .... whoa loud leaking noise. At first thought it was exhaust i shut down and looked around, to find nothing looking loose. limped the bike home, and upon inspection, a spark plug just up and decided to jump out. (?) I have never touched the plugs on this bike, but hey , now the rear 2 are securely in place. The front 2 aren't as easy to get to, so I haven't inspected (time) but all of this is only adding to the stress of WHICH ONE?!?!?

 

Since the plug went back in, bike sounds great, runs great (imagine, all 4 cylinders firing!)

 

I can't figure out why your blue '87 is in the red corner and why your red '07 is in the blue corner...

 

two words comicus, miller lite

 

are you sure the two words aren't boones farm...

 

Take the '87 cuz lots of newer VFR folks may never have actually seen one.

Point out the precise and elegant shock preload adjuster (which they lack) as well as the intoxicating gear wine and the thermostat that can be changed in 10 minutes.
