    As said earlier, I am from Europe, Croatia ( some of you know about Dubrovnik, Plitvice lakes, Nikola Tesla etc.) and after 10-ish years of not riding I suddenly came across of my 2015 VFR 800F ,32 000 km on the clock.
    Must say that at first I was lurking at BMW r 1200 RS and F 800 GT but they are really rare here and almost no chance to try named models. VFR in red color did stole my attention on couple occasions but cycle-ergo said that forward lean is too big so that kept me away from her due to some issues with elbows and wrists.
    After first ride..wow...that smile didn't want to come off my face, after finding a way to lower front seat I was even happier.
    It is EU version with traction ctrl, abs, heated grips, quick shifter etc. Must say that I like that ˝little things˝ and it would be great to have downshifter and cruise control but at the moment I am happy with her as is.
    I am still getting to know her and catching some fundamental riding skills on empty parking lots and not so crowdy roads, it would be great to make some longer trips to Croatian seaside or so.
    150 kms ago changed this old tires to Metzeler Z8 and whole experience feels much better.

    Must say what you already know that this VTEC thing is kinda like Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and the sound of it even with stock exhaust is amazing.

    I am glad that this forum exists and thank you for all of the information you guys shared.

    Best regards from Croatia! Kujetina.jpg
