    Having been without a bike for a few years I was pretty stoked to back. In a deal too good to refuse I ended up with this white 01 VFR which the previous owner had dropped a couple times and it definitely has some road rash, plastics don't match etc. I'm no pro by any means but I am patient and so far I think this is turning out decently well!

    I have yet to hit the tank and rear plastics but the difference between the old and new is very satisfying. Now to find a few of those hex bolts for the plastics...

    Nice! To me, the VFR always seems to look good in white.
