Hi, from Australia, in 2011, um, January

Just thought id say hello,

looking at buying a run otu vfr800fi in rothman honda, time to upgrade my old cbr600 its served me well for the last 8 years.

 

welcome to the madness.
please post some pics when you get it.

I take it you're not in the flooded area

 

well i just finished this cafe racer of mine, if its a picture u want, pics from a ride, down through the flooded area, that creek is gushing, and all water courses are basially overflowing, and thats after the floods have subsided, lotsa damage,

 

and of course this beast, of mine,

 

Welcome aboard

 

Welcome to the site. Plenty of members from down under hereabouts.

 

Hey man, welcome!

 

thanks, any tips when buying a new vfr?

we currently have red or silveer here in oz,

although their seems to be some limited editions tri colour, aka rothman editions floating around, the redwhiteblue ones


any particular accessories i should get thrown in?

 

well, theri saying under 13k for a brand new one? recon the australian dealers have much more to lower that price by?

 

Hello & welcome

 

it arrives on monday, got it for a good price i couldnt walk away from

 

Welcome storm, I vote for the white/black one, love that paint. Keep us posted.

 

Hi Storm,
Welcome, there is heaps of good info on here and the people on here are all well mannered religious types.
I love the white Gen 6 it is pretty rare to see one in Oz. I dont know much about them apart from what guys on here say.
Have a test ride and report back.

 

yeah sorry, i brought that one, i put another thread upa botu buying it, but somebody in here asked for photos when i buy it, so i just posted that up.

sorry if i confused anybody

 

Damn Honda for only offering limited years for white. Nice bike you got. Let us know how you like it and such. If I crash my ninety-eight, straight to my bodyshop for white and black paint scheme. It even has a painted frame, lucky U.

 

I caught a bus, up to the goldcoast, 3am start, 7 hours, of bumpy bus full of uk tourists farting non stop.

a train down to the goldcoast, which was delayed due to track faults for bloody ages

took 3 hours to get the permit, delay was mostly the insurance guy, who took an hour to type it up.

finally got to leave in the late after noon, rode to hinze dam to find it was closed, so i went to long way around, to advanced town, then down through the hinterland to murwillumbah, then out through to Kyogal, to lismore, where i got a room for the night as it was 7pm with a big dark storm approaching.

then up through the bruxner highway, up through to tenterfield then Inverell.

all because i didnt want to wait 4 weeks for delivery..

 

Really beautiful bike, tell us what you think of the bike after the ride.

 

Welcome to the site, some outstanding winding roads around Murwillumbah and Kyogal.

Inverell ? Was trying to work out where you from, used to spend every second school Holidays on a relatives farm between Bundurra and Barraba, the nearly 2 hr mostly dirt/gravel road trip to Inverell was like a trip to the big smoke in the '70s.

 

sad when you think in da smell the big smoke, i enjoy these areas, sick of the humidity on the goldcoast
