    Hi everyone
    Im Dan, 23, a design engineer working in specialist machine design around Derby.
    I picked up a 1994 VFR750 with 40k on the clock a couple of weeks ago and its fantastic!

    For those who want my story:

    My Dad has always had a VF1000F Bol'dor sat in the garage and i loved the look and sound of the V4. Soon as i could i defied my mothers orders and bought myself a bike! after owning a couple of Derbi GPR50cc 'sports mopeds' i was hooked (probably on the smell of 2 stroke oil)
    Soon as i could i did my test and had a Honda rebel 250 with 3k on the clock, within 2 years it had 34K because i was never off it!

    Since then ive had 2 Magnas: a tatty 82' and a ex-show 1988 Super Magna (i say ex show because i like to ride my bikes whatever the weather)

    Although im still working on the SuperMagna (see photos), its no longer reliable for everyday use, due to parts being nearly non existent. although i am currently setting up CBR900RR dual disc brake system with some gsxr calipers :p

    That brings me to buying this sensible but sexy VFR which has just been treated to a gleaming white paint job and i've loved every second of riding it!

    Anyway thanks for reading and i hope to see you out on the road sometime

    All the best
    Dan
