New 07' Rwb

Hey all,

I finally have my new 07' RWB sitting in the garage looking spectacular and waiting for me to get on her... but that won't happen until next spring most likely. You know what that means, plenty of time to mod her this winter and get her ready for a long season next year.
Here are a few pics of her waiting. Although she looks good, she looks a little sad without me on her!!

You don't see this too often...........on a VFR!!

YAY!

In the first picture, it looks like the left headlight has a little tear in it because it heard it has to wait. :(

If you change your mind about having someone wear out those stock tires, let me know. I'll square 'em off in no time. ;p

Here is an easy solution for you............ Rent one of those big orange and white "U-Haul" trucks and head to beautiful California where we have summer all year long....... unless your one of those folks that are affraid of earthquakes. :beer: Ohh and by the way,,, there is a bunch of people here with those presidential VFRs as well. Silver rules.

I have had plenty of offers already... but I will keep you in mind. Oh, I forgot... I didn't put registration on the bike yet. It helps keep my father-in-law under control. He reminds me everyday.... I beemer rider wanting to ride a VFR more than is beemer but hey, I can't blame him :biggrin:

So, which is it? Broken leg? DUI? Nutz in a jar and the missus won't let you have them back until spring? Inquiring minds want to know. :goofy:

Ouch! Better than "Nutz in a jar" though. Get well soon.

Yes I have to agree :fing02:

You couldn't have picked a better color. Now roll it around your drive way for about a couple of hours so at least you'll have 1 mile on the odometer.

Put it up on the center stand and into 1st gear with the engine running. Get the old ball of depreciation rolling!! :wheel:

Congrats on the new ride, man! Hope you heal quickly...

Wecome to the RWB club. Hope you heal sooner than expected. Here's my RWB with the white wheels the dealer powdercoated. JD :fing02:

Mine looked like that on June 21st of this year. It now has over 4000 miles on it and needs tires. :(
Have loved every mile though.

Man, I feel for you. I am having a hard time just waiting till tomorrow for the rain to stop so I can take it out. Congrats. Truely a wise color choice! Silver and red are fast, but RWB is fastest! Picked my 07 RWB up today! Enjoy. :fing02:

+1 - Easily the "fastest" color. Plus, the class that this color combo brings to the table is just awesome. My second choice is the Asphalt. JD :fing02:

Congrats on the new VFR, Josh! :fing02: That will always be one of the sweetest looking bikes of all-time. :) Enjoy modding your new rig, hope to see you on it in person next spring at TMac or some other ride.

Gotta keep them waxed. In between washes, I wipe them down with Detailer spray. Thanks, JD

Thanks TimC.... I will be just glad to ride again but this winter will give me plenty of time to work on her!!


The white wheels look really good and my wife thinks it looks better than the black... and I agree!!

Glad to hear you and your wife like the white wheels. They aren't that hard to keep clean. Keep a good wax job on them and every other ride wipe 'em down with detailer. One other thing, I have yet to see another RWB on the road and if that is he case, what are the chances you will see one with white wheels?
Get well soon! JD

Get well soon Josh! I've been following your recovery a bit on here, not trying to be stalkerish, but when a fellow VFRD member and Grand Rapidian goes down it's close.

Right now my Red '03 is almost completely updated to RWB plastics, we'll have to start up a West MI Red, White, and Blue crew.
