    Hey guys, I had a 1984 VF1000, and recently traded it off, and got a 1998VFR.

    I absolutely love this bike. In comparison, it's so much more balanced, more comfortable, more DEAD sexy, and it's faster.

    I've attached a pic, but I'm sure you know what one looks like by now. lol

    The chain and sprockets look a bit worn, so I'm replacing them with RK's, and went 2 up in the rear. You guys think I'll enjoy the extra feel of torque this gearing will give me?

    Any advice given will be appreciated. :D
