    Hi everyone,
    Just got our new bike, an (old) vfr800 which we can both go out on, we had a cbr6 before which was a bit cramped for two. Don't get much spare time during the week so wondered if anyone is around sunday mornings for a ride out?

    Well hello and welcome.

    I live in Swindon and have a Red VFR800 1999 year.

    One thing I would about them is watch for the Reg / rec going wrong.

    Others than that I love mine to bits.

    Hi igbell,
    Ours is a red one with silver front (50th anniversary one). I bought it off my dad as he's just got himself a shiny new blackbird. I think the regulator has been changed already but thanks for the reminder on that one. I'm well impressed with the bike so far,mostly I ride with pillion and the handling is great. Also brakes are far more responsive than those on the cbr6 I had.

    Hello Chris_Suie
    I was after a anniversary one but they were as rare as rocking horse sh1t, so I just got a normal one, Bah Humbug.
    I would say keep an eye on the Reg/Rec as I have had 3 in as many years, I have also put PC fans onto it so that it helps cool it down as this is one of the issues, not getting enough air to them, I know one guy that moved his to the front of the bike as well to help with coolness.

    Re-introduced myself to biking after 20 odd years (not that the years were odd, although on reflection ......).
    Stumped up wad of cash and bought myself a Honda VTX1300. Loads of bum space and room for two. Goes a treat too. Intention is to weekend tour / do a festival or two as well as the occasional daily 'ride-out' to nominated site of interest (that surprisingly includes local hostalries. Realise season is pretty much at an end, so long to kick-off in earnest next year.
