    Finally got my first VFR.
    In 2000, I was looking at the VFR and VTR
    Went with the VTR. Sold it. It was a nice bike, enjoyed it.

    Replaced it with a 2004 S4R Monster. Much better.

    But still wanted that dam VFR.
    Found a 98 with 15K. Bought it.

    So her I am. I now have a sport tour machine.

    Welcome to VFRW Trackdog. It looks like the PO took good care of it. Do you plan on any updates to it?

    Thanks RM.

    I am the 3rd owner.
    The 2nd owner bought the bike with 8500 mi in 2005.
    He wasn't much of a bike guy, average about 500 mi a season.

    She's a 10 footer. Rode hard and put up wet. But for a 23yr old machine. not bad.
    The wheels are in ruff shape and a little patina here and there.
    But no heavy corrosion and appeared to have been maintained.
    I am thinking a Honda VFR with 15k, mechanically worth the investment.

    I may update the exhaust.
    I am thinking I may try to squeeze a 180/60 Pirelli Rosso III on her, or just stick with a 180/55 and try the Angel.
    It may see the track, but primarily going to be my "B" bike, long distance. rain day included, sport tourer.
    I am not ready for the ST1100/FJR/Goldwing yet
