New VFR owner and site member.

Hi All!

Yesterday I bought a 2007 VFR 800 with the 25th Anniversary paint scheme. It has the hard bags option. I am a long time rider and have owned many different bikes over the years. I am moving off of a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic, which I dislike very much. I have had singles, twins (V and apposed), even a triple and inline 4's, but this is my first V-4 motorcycle and surely not the last.

I love the V4. No really. I love the V4. Of course you knew this already. Did I mention I love the V4?

So I just got back from a short ride and looked down to see this:

Neat!
The guy I bought the bike from had the most impressive collection of motorcycle exotica I have ever seen. 30 or so two stroke race replicas. Many various NSR 250's, three cylinder NS400, RG 250's, a full on Honda 125 GP bike, two examples of a 1 of 20 made Aprillia (the model I cant remember but modern). Unreal collection. I took a short vid and some pics of the one wing of the collection I was able to see if anyone is interested.

Anyway, thanks for this web site and hope to post much, learn much, and maybe even help out one or two of you. I will be asking about clutch related stuff. I didn't catch it on the test ride, but the clutch engages way late on the lever. Bummer.

I am really enjoying this bike.
