NC30 iirc VFR400
Lovely little bike, built like a Swiss watch.
Er indoors got really p1ssed off when I kept nicking it for a quick hoon
The Triumph is a T595 Daytona. Exciting ride but very uncomfortable. The 996 was like an armchair in comparison.
I only kept the VFR800 for a few months. Got bored because it was too good - mind used to wander because you didn't need to think what you're doing, if that makes any sense.
Superb bikes the 400..
i had a SP2 ..just a wonderful bike visually and to ride but bugger the thing hurt after an hour..mind you the bloody tank was empty by then so you got plenty of stops lol

I'm cheating as this isn't the actual one, but I loved this bike. Bought 1999, sold 2006, GSX750W and this is even the same colour.
Seems that way! Maybe there's a connection between the cyclist mind and the VFR owner. We look for something reliable, predictable, sensible (ish), value for money etc..I think we need a Who hasn't had a VFR then thread

they are a You must own one of these at least once bikes..superb bikes
Maybe that's why they introduced the VTec; it certainly wakes you up when it hits about 6.5k revs
. TBH though, I think it's a bit of an OTT gimic. The pre VTec VFR was more than capable of out performing 99.9% of it's riders. I can quite happily go out for a reasonably progressive ride on the VTec VFR without ever having to go past 6.5k.. In top gear that equates to over 90 mph after all!
Mine had the surging issue which was orrible in traffic.

Just for a laff, my first ever new bike. 1974 Honda CB175 priced £366 from Gander & Grey in east London - I still have the finance repayment book. I thought it was the biz but I bet it performs and handles like a pig by today's standards

My best mate had one, not that much slower than the 250, lighter, better handling, cheaper insurance and better fuel economy. Crap 2 up though.
like that you remained with twin aftermarket pipes.
