New bike; with engine!

[Brandane]

Took my current motorbike in for an MOT today (it passed but with one or two potentially expensive "advisories"), then took it for a run in the sun to a nearby bike dealer. Proved to be a costly ride as I signed on the dotted line and traded it in for this beauty :

The photo is not the actual bike, but it is identical. The colour is stunning in the flesh; a very deep purple/blue. It's a Honda VFR800, 2002 model. Looking forward to Saturday when it becomes mine!

Not sure why I clicked like because these things scare me. Lol. As long as you are happy and enjoy it. Just don't come screaming past me at 90mph and make me jump out of my skin.

They scare me too! Which is probably not a bad thing, as it gives one a healthy respect for what they are capable of . They are great fun though.

Lol @Mo1959 neither am I clicking like because I like it!
Let's like it because it makes @Brandane happy, as long as he doesn't run us off the road

As if I would risk scratching my nice purple paintwork to do that! If I want to run you off the road, I will do it in the company's time with one of these :

Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! A big bad mega lorry! Usually I turn round, smile and wave at the driver so he doesn't run me over on my wee bike

To think, you could have had a Gold Star,or a Bonneville, or a Manx!!
Such a waste!

A 2004 Honda CBF600S. A bike which I have to admit has never really grown on me, unlike many of it's predecessors. I actually went to the dealer today to look at a Yamaha Fazer 600, one of which I previously owned and loved. However the VFR caught my eye and that was that.

You're right they are such a waste (of money). Their prices are well North of stupid.

It was a Fazer I was hankering after when I ended up with my Bandit 600F. It was good but I always felt like I'd won second prize.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of grins with the VFR.

A Viffer. A mate of mine is (or was, not seen him lately) chairman of the Honda Owners Club.

Thank God it isn't a Harley.

We'd have disowned you.

Had a VFR 750 20 odd years ago, magnificent bikes. The roar when going through 6,000 revs was addictive!
Enjoy......
