New VFR rider in San Francisco

Hi there.

I've been lurking for a month or two and thought I should introduce myself before I start asking questions.

I started riding earlier this year on a SV650S and after putting about 5K miles under my belt, I picked up a beautiful, pearl white 1993 VFR750F as a second bike. I've only put a few hundred miles on it so far but I love it.

It's mostly stock but came with a few choice upgrades that I knew I was going to do anyway: HeliBars handlebar risers, Throttlemeister cruise control, Corbin seat, and Race Tech springs. My mechanic replaced the chain, steering head bearings, and battery and then gave it a clean bill of health. After I add luggage, replace the windshield, add some RAM-mounted gadgets, and assemble a better repair kit, I hope to do some serious touring on it.

This forum is great and I hope to be here for many months. Although I've been doing a lot of browsing and searching both here and on VFRD, I still have a handful of questions about the 3rd generation VFRs that I hope you guys don't mind if I ask.

P.S. It looks like I bought tbone's bike!

 

Thats one of the pretties models made in the VFR line up in my Opinion Congrats.

Now feel free to fire away those questions, lots have good advise here and there, just watch out for KCs response LOL. .

 

That's a beauty...congrats on your new bike. I'm in the Bay Area, too, we should think about meeting up for a ride at some point.

Congratulations on buying such a nice looking bike. I'm close to S.F. in Pacifica and like to do day rides in San Mateo or Marin counties. Let me know if you want to get together.
