Hey guys. 35 year rider here. Been riding cruisers for the past 20 years. Looking at commuters and better handling bikes. Was going for the FJR but realized I would not be doing cross country trips anymore, instead mostly local riding. The VFR seems to represent the best of all worlds. I have been lurking here for a long while (looking mostly for a bike on classifieds) My short list is currently VFR SV650 VStrom FZ6 Kawi 650 Would love a DUC or Aprilla but no servoce centers close and the only tools I have for mechanical work is a $15 socket set from Wal Mart. I don't wrench. I rode Honda Shadows 1100's for 20 years. No tools needed. Any way looking forward to learning and maybe I will find a nice used VFR close to me.
T Bong in da house! Welcome to the forum! That is an easy choice....the VFR baby! Where are you located? Please do check out this thread and tell us what your username means/came from. http://vfrworld.com/forums/anything-goes/9764-what-does-your-username-mean.html
Welcome, I think you made the right choice. I was also looking for an FJR or ST when I found my VFR. I think for mainly around town and some fun weekend trips the VFR is perfect.
