Another new guy from the uk

Hello people. Been looking around for a good vfr forum for a while now and finally came across this one
I'm james 24 from southern uk.
Had a few bikes in my brief motorbike period but nothing compares to the enjoyment I get out of my vfr.
Started off with a Sachs xtc125, great little bike but unfortunately you had to Learn how to be a mechanic with it as I was working on it nearly every weekend getting it rideable for the next weeks commute....
Then had a suzuki gs500. That was well.... A commuter... Nothing special just did the job really.
Then another cummuter that was a bit more fun, a Kawasaki er5, that was quite good fun to ride. It was very light and would go if you gave it a kick up the arse.
Had the pleasure of riding a Yamaha fazer for a short period, which again was a nice improvement on the er5.
But still nothing compares to the vfr800 vtec abs that I have now. I love it.

 

Welcome from Devon

Welcome aboard and ride safe.

 

Nice bud, never knew they made Sachs for the street. .only remember back in the 70's the Sachs 125 dirt bike.
VFR looks great and came with pipes...you must be in heaven. Welcome and have fun

 

Unfortunately it didn't come with pipes I put them on back in October (birthday pressies from the misses )
The Sachs was brilliantly unreliable and extremely uncomfortable. Look at the seat! Went like a little rocket though.

 

Good wifey, she's a keeper..or girlfriend.
Cool either way...enjoy.

 

Welcome from Gibraltar!

 

Welcome aboard! The Sachs looks very cool. I had a Sachs 125 two stroke back in the 70s. It was in a Penton 6 Day. It went well but had a papier-mâché transmission.

 

Yup, pentons, greeves, bulltaco,
super rats, green streaks, and CZ, oh and Maico breako, and old the mature (older) guys rode Husky's
Those were great days especially out here in SoCal .

 

You forgot Maico!

 

Welcome aboard from Essex! Where are you?

Only ever seen one Sachs on the road, on my commute across London I sometimes saw a guy on a red one. Your VFR looks shiny! :congratulatory:

 

i live in chichester on the south coast. When I had my Sachs I only ever saw one other, when I saw it I started waving uncontrollably at him and then he realised and did the same. TWas a very bizarre moment. Never saw him again wanted to ask him if he also had trouble with water in the fuel or trying to find a new rear sprocket for a bike that nobody new anything about...

Are there many people on here from the south of the uk??

 

When he waved back he probably crashed, no thanks to you....

 

I'm from Plymouth, before I came to Canada that is...
