I just brought home a 2005 VFR. The bike has 4K miles and is in really good shape. I'm looking forward to getting some rides in this fall before winter hits.

Sorry, I thought I posted a picture last time.

While I was cleaning it up, I disconnected the PAIR system, flapper valve and took off the snorkel. I have not evaluated the changes yet, but am looking forward to it.

Quick question, anyone out there have some textile pants they really like for all around use? I was looking at firstgear and dainese. The dainese are expensive, but I like that they use GORE-TEX, which really helps with the breathing. I have not seen any reviews on these though.



Thanks!

Welcome and thx for posting the pic of your bike .... If you like GORE-TEX (I do) it's going to cost.... Both of those are nice.... But shop the web for the best price.... Plenty of web stores.....

favorite pants is like favorite anything else.

i have had good luck with first gear, cortech, frank thomas and speed and strength.

there are so many now, its hard to narrow it down.

good buy on the bike though, you will have you some fun.

I paid $5250 for it, which I thought was reasonable. There was quite a few VFR's in the northeast area to choose from. I will post some more pics once I get it out for a ride, I am still waiting for registration.

A BIG welcome from a fellow newbie VFR owner and New Jerseyan! Yeah! There are normal folks in Jersey unlike the Jersey Shore depiction (they are from Staten Island).
Hey, I used to live in Boonton for 8 years, i was the pastor at the methodist church there. peace.
