    Hello all, I'm on the path towards getting my full bike licence after riding scooters and 125s for the last 15 years. The bike for me is the 6th Gen VTEC model and I can't wait. I have dreams of touring the UK, Europe or even the USA (will have to see how the special relationship pans out though).

    Being a complete Luddite when it comes to anything mechanical I need some advice:

    What do I need to be aware of when purchasing a used VFR 800 Vtec?
    Where do I start with learning about motorcycle maintenance - specifically the VFR?

    Thank you all in advance!

    P.S. I'm sure these questions have been asked already, but I'm a lazy bugger!

    Oh wow great first post, you've got a lot of digging for answers ahead of you, IMO way to much to explain here. Like Fink said go hit up the good ole inter net here and there , you've heard of Google right? and get some reading behind you, then come back asking particular questions. at least you're looking at a great bike.

    Cheers chaps. I'll stop being a lazy bugger and start reading up. Got about a year before all this happens so plenty of time to swot up!
