    Hey everyone. Little background on me. I took the MSF BRC in November of 07, and picked up a 04 Ninja 250 shortly after. I have since put about 10,000 miles on it. I got a 93 VFR750 the day after christmas last year. I didnt know anything about VFR's untill i saw it on craigslist and started researching them and got a lot of info from this site. I had a lot of cold starting issues with the viffer but it seems to be fine now. Heres some pics

    just rolled over to 51,000 miles today. i paid $2500 for it, thought it was a decent deal untill i had to pay over $300 in labor to get it running again a week after i got it. but it is what it is.

    Nice bike!

    Wanna sell that left side exhaust. I'll even throw in my right side with an after market slip on to sweeten the deal.

    Those White '93 VFRs are gorgeous bikes. I almost bought one about 6 years ago but was outbid at the last second! I want to add one to my stable some day. Congratulations and Welcome!

    Nice choice for a second bike!! I too bought my 93 last January as a second bike. I don't even have to ride the damn thing for it to bring a smile to my face. Now I just need to find a mint 85 Interceptor in candy red and white to make my life complete.

    Regards,
    Rollin

    Oh that's great, two things: 1. CW's latest issue said that model is one of the ten best used bike buys of 2009; did you know that. 2. I have a pefect side cover in white with factory graffics for your bike, send me a PM if you are interested. JIM

    I did not know that! That's awesome.

    I'm not sure what you mean by side cover. the fairing?
