Supposed to be nice all week.. Pretty excited about it.

 

I may be out later today. Got passes to Zombieland, but I kind of want to watch MNF...we'll see.

 

Goodness gracious, great new bike Elric, looks nice! Where you finding all these clean old school Honda's at???

 

Actually this dude found me. I put the F2 on CL for like...3 hours and he gave me a ring asking me questions. Eventually he was like "I'd really like to buy your bike but I've got to sell mine first.." so I ask him what kind of bike it is. He tells me it's a '91 VFR 750F, just over 30k. I'm like...that's a bit high (but...actually VFRs are known to go waaay over 70k with no problems) so I wanted to check it out. It's been down on both sides, just like the CBR but the plastics are thinner and more stiff than the ones on the CBR so they cracked.

I took it for a ride and noticed that the front steering was a bit weird, like I'd lean in and the front wheel would point INWARD at the turn so I had to use a lot of countersteer to correct it. I found that strange, but I checked rear pressure and it was at like 12psi, so I stopped at a WAWA and aired it up. BAM rode just like the CBR but more comfortably and with a lot more grunt.

Once I got it home I cleaned it and waxed it. PO#1 tried to spray paint the fairings to repair them and didn't do an awesome job of it so this winter I'll be pulling the plastics and repairing them, then spraying it...probably white. I think white would look killer with the gold wheels. I love the hydraulic clutch setup, the cable setup on the F2 combined with the upgrade springs from the Barnett kit was pretty tiring pulling in the clutch during long city rides. I just can't get enough of the grown the engine makes and the low end that it has. Red though, I've had enough of red bikes.

It was mistaken for a Ducati earlier today, I thought that was pretty funny. I might need to rebuild the rear shock as it's pretty soft, even on the hardest setting.

 

I wish I could have had your old bike.

 

If that doesnt work, GOOF OFF ftmfw!

 

Wow, beautiful VFR. Great comfortable bikes and nice for long distances.

Didn't realize my rear tire was so worn down...got a flat today in West Point. Looks like I'll be off the bike until I order a new pair.

 

Thinking about leaving the beach and riding.


Any of you homos with my digits give me a text so I can build this phonebook back.

 

removing sticker junk= honda polish- spray on THICK let sit for 5 minutes, wipe off.


I love that body style "Viffer". Those V-4's sound AWESOME with a good set of pipes. Like a freakin F1 car at full tilt .

The older ones had oiling probs to the top ends and were known for snapping cams in half (!), seen it happen a few times, but that later ones like that are damn near bulletproof. They came in a pearl white that year too that was sexy as hell.

"sport tourer" or not, they can hold thier own on the streets too. Throw a penske shock and a set of cartidge emulators on it and ride the wheels off it.

 

what are you looking for... I have a lightly used set of wheels. I have a matched pair and a some separates. I am willing to part with. I have 2 back tires and 3 fronts. 120 and 180's. Let me know.
