    Taking the subway to work got pretty boring....
    :) Got to drive 60km North East to pick her up... with a 1.6l Geo Tracker 'Trailer Pimp'.

    She's a 86 Honda CB750s (these weren't available in the US :p)

    Now to find a late 90's R6/GSXR/CBR for a track bike..

    RC17/RC20 are really, really close to the VFs. How's your bike doing nowadays anyway?

    ...and how's your insurance on it? I'm hoping I can get away with the CB as a standard/cruiser

    you're lucky your insurance has different classes, out here it goes by displacement and declared value, that's it! i pay more for insurance now with my WR450 than i did with my old ZX6, if that's not fucked i don't know what is. i mean 400cc-750cc in a single class, what in the fuck... /rant

    btw, nice bike :)

    Depends what company it's with.. State Farm is fucked like that -- it's all ranked by displacement. My quote for an R6 was $500 cheaper than an SV650.

    Ontario has some of the highest motorcycle insurance in the world.. :|


    Brent, sell me your VFR :p

    Yea no problem, come down and get it.
    There is no structural damage at all, just some rust and fading. Nothing a little restoration cannot fix. It has good compression but has a slight head gasket leak. Nothing major, but you can clearly see that it is leaking slightly, and I was told that this is a common problem with bikes this old.

    83VFR750. First sport bike that honda ever built with water cooling lol.

    Its one of the best looking 80's sport bikes I've seen.
