    Sweet. I saw that guy's post on the FZ1 forum that you had traded, figured you'd be posting up soon.
    Looks great, congrats

    It figures that the week I get the bike, it'll be cold and rainy for the first two days. Oh well, I'll have more time to get to the registry and get raked over the coals.

    And to those who want to swap, you know I'm always down

    That exact bike is what I'm hoping will be my winter purchase - I've been shopping them for some time now.

    Nice bike and great choice! Also, very tasteful mods. I was contemplating it as an upgrade from my FZ6, but ended up getting the VFR. Love the VFR so far - much more refined than my FZ6.

    Nice steed! I miss mine terribly.

    Those MIVV's sound ridiculous with the dB killer removed.

    Yep, the DR is gone. I will really miss it too.

    The new owner called me last night and said he's really loving it. I'm glad. He's actually going to use it as a dual sport too, unlike me

    Looks like some kind of "tidy tail" mod would do well.
