    This one appears to actually be original, unlike the other 85 on Iconic, which the seller claims is nearly all stock.

    "The tank was significantly scratched from a belt buckle so I had the tank repainted. All other fairings appear to be original.”

    Ummm... Nope.

    uhhh, it is already past anything I got. :(

    It is funny cause I went all in for smaller bikes and was left disappointed. I love the NSR but it doesn't do the basics well. I know there is no all around bike, but now I am leaning back to more powerful bigger bikes. Don't think I will ever get it right. hahaha

    Not saying Big Red is perfect for you, but I'm really glad you came back around and appreciate it more now (it feels like).

    It REALLY sounds like it's time to put some effort into your RC36-II. If there is such a thing as an all-around sport bike, that is certainly in the hunt.

    Pretty sure the most respected magazine editors and test riders repeatedly voted the VFR as one of the best all-around sport bikes ever made.
