    Hi everyone,
    I'm a new forum member but not new to VFRs. Most of my bigger bikes have been Hondas which I do like.
    Had a red VFR800 which I got knocked off by a blind van driver and broke both my wrists. After mending I replaced the original bike with a green VFR800. After a year or so I was still suffering from wrist pain on long rides so went for a Varadero 1000, more upright and very comfortable but both my partner and I loved the VFRs.
    After riding the Varadero for 5 years and in a moment of total madness I swapped it for (don't choke!) a Har*** - Davi**** Fat Bob. Rode that around for another 5 years (with passenger usually) then decided I would like something with a little more finesse and sophistication!
    Saw a 2 1/2 year old VFR1200F GT in red, 4000 mile on the clock, one owner from new and took a test ride and fell hook, line and sinker.....
    Only done a couple of longish runs so far but we both love it.
    Ride safe and keep the shiny bits up!
