Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project!

Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires… But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.

      I’m keeping my eye out for a vfr800 (or vfr750). No I don’t have room for it, but I can always dream…

          I’ve owned four VFRs in my life, the last of which was a 2007 Anniversary edition that I bought in 2015 and sold to one of my best friends to fund a trip. He’s made a standing offer to sell it back to me and I’m having a very hard time not doing it. I still maintain the VFR is one of the best all-around street bikes ever produced, especially if you sort the suspension.
