    She never gets boring.
    33,000kms
    Runs mint.
    Unfortunately may be my last year.
    May move to 8th gen VFR if I can find a mint white VFR.
    I'm on the fence on this one.
    You know change for the sake of change.
    I do like the improved reliability for electrical on the 8th gen.
    I have never had any electrical issues.
    Ride safe

    I have a 99 in red in excellent condition. My wife has an 86 VF500 RWB in not so good condition. BUT, that RWB is a good looking bike. IMO, if your RWB is in good shape, you will regret selling it. Newer is not always more reliable. Of course you could just add an 8th gen to the stable.

    Great picture. I have had the 8th gen. Wasn't really a great fan of it. Now I have a RWB 6th Gen again.
    It feels like a smaller bike, I didn't like the exhaust on the side (prefer under seat), it has hard mount points for luggage, but the luggage can't take most full faced helmets (SHAD luggage on my 6th now), traction control bogs you down if you accelerate away hard and you can't just order a Sargent seat for it.
    I did like the LED lights, I did like the heated grips......errrrr that was it.

    How did you get your wheels white? Powder coat, paint or plastiDip? I have an 04’ but I bought new RWB fairings and the white wheels are Rad! Looks more like my old 86 VFR750.

    Beautiful bike man.
    Don’t do it.
    Regrets suck.
    Just upgrade suspension and RR, you’ll be good as gold.
