    Hi, everyone! I have been following this forum for awhile, and I really enjoy reading about what everybody is doing with this fantastic bike! I've been pining away for an Anniversary Edition Interceptor ever since they came out (I had a 1994, and loved my VFR!) but we could never really afford it, wasn't the right time, etc. etc. I went away for a two-week training class a couple of months ago, and when I came home, guess what was sitting in the living room!:biggrin: Brand new, 2007 RWB with my name on it!! My husband found it online at Larsen Cycle in Minnesota, and they shipped it to Nevada while I was away. So far, I have added Helibars and a Powerlet outlet to my bike, but mostly just getting her broke in. I'm glad to be here with y'all, and look forward to many miles of smiles!

    Congratulations! What a great surprise. But as everyone knows, no pics, no bike.

    Congratulations. I bought an '07 back in '07 and it had to decide between the Dark Candy Red and the RWB. I just couldn't get away from the red. Liked it too much. You will love the bike.

    Looks totally at home there, doesn't it? It was a wonderful surprise, and I am still smiling! Haven't been riding too much yet, since it's about a hundred seventy degrees outside here in the Las Vegas area.

    That is gorgeous! I am not a fan of multiple color bikes, but I have to admit that looks damn good. Plus it is the perfect home decoration piece!

    Congrats! I was really excited to get mine this past April.
    Bought mine new too! It's so smooth riding compared to
    my '83 'ceptor. Sometime it doesn't even feel like the engine
    is running. Good for you!!

    Congrats, FireGal ! I was in the same situation and even drooled over the bike that is in your living room for months. I finally found mine in Jersey back in October. Been smiling ever since.

    So it looks like you had Christmas in August. What a great surprise. Finding a new '07 RWB is getting harder to do. Congratualations and welcome to the forum.

    I always thought it was the red and blue that slides off at speed.

    congratz!! I've always enjoyed how the RWB looks.

    Now just stick an 8 spoke rear wheel on there and paint them white!
