Just picked this thing up a week ago and have been loving every moment of it. It's in excellent shape and has 23k miles on it. I am in the process of changing out all the fluids, and chain/ sprockets. I love this thing! I just came off a FZ1. Can't wait to do some long trips on it!

Welcome to the site!

I've put 28K on my '04 since I bought it, it just keeps getting better!

Yep, luv my '07.  The swiss army knife of bikes :cool: ... have ~28K on my girl as well.  Just put 990 mi on her last weekend on a AL -> NC -> AL round trip :biggrin: ...

Big  difference  from  the  FZ  to  the  VFR  ?

Thanks! Glad to be a VFR owner. Biggest difference is the seaton position which will be fixed when I install my helibars. Big pluses include smoother motor and no more buzzyness when on the highway and a fairing that actually works! The VFR is a little down on power but who really needs all of that anyways?

The VFR is a little down on power

Just dial in a few more RPMs. :warranty:

It's not a beast, but it has plenty of get up and go. :happy2:

Were you on the FZ1 forum? Your name seems familiar!

I had an FZ1 as well, a few bikes ago. I agree with the lack of power being noticeable; 6th gear passes with my FZ were a piece of cake but I find myself dropping two gears on the VFR to make progress.

Overall, though, the VFR is vastly superior to my first gen FZ1. It's my favourite bike of all now.
