Though I would introduce myself. The Name is Scott and I live in Chilliwack, BC. Canada.

I am the proud new owner of a 09 VFR800A Ineterceptor that is mint. Infact it only had 1300km on it as well as 15 months left on the extended warranty when I picked it up in mid April. The previous owner is a friend and unfortanatly life has got in the way of riding and he wanted it to go to someone who was actually going to ride it. I have already racked up 1500 km in the last few weeks since I have had it on the road, even despite the not so good weather.

Here is a list of the upgrades that where done:

Factory Hard Bags
Zero Gravity Wind Screen
KN Air Filter
Leo Vince Exhaust

I am open to any suggestions on future upgrades as well, also if anyone has any tips on what to watch out for please feel free to share them.

I am posting this from my Ipad so I will have to attach a picture later.

Thanks,
Scott

Welcome........ I like the two tone colour........ Things to look out for....... Is when you start it to go on a short ride and find yourself 3 or 400k down a road you've never been on before..........

I was just up your way last weekend.....I was just thinking of going south out of Sumas from Surrey, but ended up in hope on a whim....meh.
a 600 mile journey turned into 1100 miles.
