    All,

    I just bought a 1993 VFR 750F which has a paint job which did not come on that year- RWB! I used to have an 07 RWB until I got run over in 2009, and I've been watching and waiting for the right bike to come around when the finances were right.

    This 93 fell into my lap. The guy was a local here in Atlanta, and he and his father have owned this bike since new. With 22,000 miles, I almost think it looks and runs better than my 07 did. Unreal in terms of cosmetics and mechanically the thing runs like a champ. Best $2,500 I ever spent!

    So do you think this is art or an abomination?

    Absolutely horrible! You should sell it to me for $1000 just to get rid of it. I can't believe you spent that much money on such an abomination! :pound:

    Seriously, you got a great deal for a spectacular bike!

    Very nice looking paint job. Looks like something the factory could have come up with. Don't like the tank bra though.

    Nice bike.

    Personally, I would have held off for a WBR paint scheme... :biggrin:

    Congrats!

    Cool! :cool:

    I like it. Got a pic of it with the tank bra removed?

    Just curious to see if that Red stripe on the fairing continues onto the tank.

    I'll throw in my vote to remove the brazier. But looks great otherwise.

    I think it looks pretty nice, but if it were mine I'd prolly lose the big VFR graphics on the tail and either find something more appropriate or leavem off.

    Ok, I'll be the odd man out. I am not fond of the paint scheme. Maybe I'm biased because I have a pearl white 93. It's definitely unique for that year, I'll give it that.
