new to me!
As you know, if you're paying attention, my 919 now lived at PV's house, which makes it his 919 now. Conveniently he gave me enough money to get this, which is what I wanted. Brought it home today, 140 mile freeway trip. I hate the freeway. Really windy at one point on Highway 680. Moved me into the next lane . This thing is pretty awesome really.





The yellow grew on me quickly. I like it. The yellow tank bra things gotta go, and I need exhaust. These things really sing with a good slip on. It amazes me how much this bike reminds me of my old '87 VFR700. Completely different, yet I can tell they're related.

Already priced out a new windscreen and the exhaust. And a new rear stand to work with the single swing arm. Only thing in the way is cash. I got the VFR for exactly the amount of cash I had in an envelope in the house, Convenient.

I stuck a magnetic carbon fiber pad thing just like I had on the 919 on it. Looks better. Much better.

Nioce! If I were to go with a faired bike more than likely it would be a viffer, I dig it.

Looks like you've already got a corbin.... bonus.
