Hi Guys, Just an intro, am a Kiwi living in Australia, (Melbourne). 5th Gen 99 with 35000 ks. Just back into bikes after about 8 years away. Previously had a bit of a road racing career, and was lucky enough to punt an RC30 (not mine i just rode it) for a couple of seasons. Also had an NC30 roadbike and a VFR700 (86) roadbike, so the VFR seemed a great place to start back. Thought I would have it for a year and then move on to litre bikes, but not so sure now. Once you get the springs sorted out, get it steering and handling right, the VFR has an awful lot going for it as a roadbike !!
