Default Just picked up my new toy...






O.K. so I'm computer illiterate.

Anyway, It's a 98 VFR. My first bike. I know little about it other than the fact it's super comfy, sounds AWESOME, and is known to be ultra-reliable.

I don't even have an owners manual. I gotta find a manual online somewhere...
anyone got any advice? I'm very nervous, as I have no bike experience. I've taken it around my apt. complex. Just trying to get the whole start/stop low speed thing down. I'm going to take the MSF course. I also plan on wearing full gear, etc...

Thanks for any input.

Alex

Congrats on purchasing one of the finest motorcycles ever produced by Honda. The V4 is truly a wonderful engine for a motorcycle.
Go MSF, Get Geared Up, and be freakin' careful....body work for the VFR is pretty pricey if you mess it up.

If I ever get a Honda bike, I'll get a VFR first.

And someone needs to get a new camera.

Thanks for the congrats. I have heard that the bodywork is pricey.
It is a beautiful bike, and I just started her up again. Damn. I hate the sound of inline four bikes. This thing sounds sooo good.
