2014 ???, I like the anticipation and curiosity factor. I'm more curious what color you chose.

Let me guess, Black???. Ha, knew it. I can't today, but have a great ride and ride it like you, well you know, hard. Break it in hard brother.

Funny you would say that, as they do have black in available in Europe. If they had it here, I would have seriously considered it. So, even though everyone thinks it looks good in white, I had to stick with what I like...and we all know that red is the fastest color!

Thanks, that was a good ride once we got moving! BTW, you should check your taillights too...the top one is out.

I might have to test ride one. I'm really disappointed that they dropped they dual under tail exhaust. That exhaust really mucks up the SSS. It will have to make a substantial impression for me to get over that. Your impressions?

Pretty happy so far. Feels lighter and smaller and handles better than my old one. I might let you take it for a spin the next time we ride together ☺

Thanks, I will.

What I like the most about the new VFR just from looking is the qualify/fit and finish. The wheels, paint, and the gages are so pleasing to the eye!!
To bad the exhaust covers the beautiful wheel/swing arm but still it's so damn sexy in person.

I know, I'm already trying to decide between the Akro or the DAM.

Beautiful bike Dave, looks much sportier than the 08. Glad to hear it handles better, cause you know, you rode the other one like a full blown sport bike. Can't wait to ride with you soon.

We need to do a Bishops Castle ride before the summer is over...maybe the weekend after labor day.

Very good sir. I'll probably head over to Fay and check one out.

Barn doesn't let Mexicans ride his bikes.

Fay doesn't have any. I was stuck there for hours while they sent a trailer to Boulder to pick mine up. RPM has 2 red standard models. Not sure about anybody else.

Well guess good thing I'm not Mexican :lol: ... I was at Fay Saturday and they didn't have any, I was looking to check one out but instead drooled over the Ducati 1200 monster and the new Agusta Rivale

What time were you there? Did you see my old VFR sitting in the showroom? (it got put there around 1pm, I think) I was there from 11 til about 3 buying the new bike.

I got there at 5 pm, I didn't see it on the showroom at the time. Maybe it was out back getting checked out by a tech so they can put it on the floor asap.
