I needed another project like I needed a hole in the head, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to own another 6th gen. So I did a thing this past weekend and bought a non-runner from a member of VFRd that was posted for sale a few hours from me.
Anyway, I'm excited to potentially (assuming I get it running) be back on a VFR. I had originally sold my '02 VFR that I had put 52,000 miles on to get into sportier MCs. After stints on a Buell 1125R and Triumph Daytona 675 and three spinal fusions in my neck, I could no longer ride sport bikes for long stints ( I SPORT-toured on both of those bikes). So the Daytona was sold in favor of a Triumph Tiger 1050, my current ride, which I really like except for the poor wind management.
The VFR I purchased has very low miles. The tank has some rust in it that will need to be addressed but other than that, I think it will just be things like new tires and a refresh of fluids to get her back on the road. I'll most likely start a refurb thread here once I get into it.
