    Hey guys,

    I've been a long time member but never owned a VFR.. except for my very first bike the VF 500!

    Just picked up a 2006 VFR800A with only 5,500km.. yep, that's right, not a typo! This bike is still a baby!

    Here are some pics:

    You piss me off. My 06 800A had well over 120,000 km on it. And I put all but maybe 20 km on it.

    But, seeing as the bike is 5 years old, loose those Dunflops. I am nearing the end of the life on a second set of Michelin PR2 and will most likely get a third set. Maybe I will get the newer gen of the PR3. They have a tread that they claim is more conducive to wet weather riding.

    Hey, I paid $8000 for it.. thread located here: http://vfrworld.com/forums/canada-alaska/34878-would-you-say-fair-price.html

    I'm sorry.. :(

    Definitely will be getting new treads for it.. on my previous bike I had Conti Road Attack on the rear and Sport Attack on the front.. I fell in love with that setup and I think I'm going to get it again. I'm really partial to Continental tires as they've been super great to me!

    Actually my last set came from Pete's and was a great price. But I think that many of the locals will now come very close if not match his. Go forth my man and check it out

    I ordered a set of Conti Road Attack 2's and a Leo Vince CF EVO II exhaust.. I don't get it, Pete's prices were so damn cheap!!!:cool:
