    Howdy people. I took the MSF training course last week. 1 week and lots of craigslist lurking later, I got myself a 1986 VFR750 interceptor for $1100! It was too good to turn down. In great running condition and impeccable maintenance records. I must admit that as a new rider I find this bike pretty intimidating. My plan was to originally get a cruiser, maybe a magna v700, but this deal was just too damn good to pass up and I'm a poor student. I don't regret my decision at all. This bike is a beast and I'm having a ton of fun on it. Anyway, I figure I will need to learn quite a bit about this bike so I can keep maintaining and taking care of it. So here I am!

    Looks groovey doode. Nice catch. Don't get really hung up on the power of this thing just because you are a new rider. The very first bike I ever rode in my life, was my present 800A. So long as you take the proper courses. take the time to get used to the bike, and understand there is a lot of power behind that twist of the throttle, you will be fine. But like Long said ATGATT.
