New Toy!!
 
I just bought this late yesterday afternoon. I rode it around some last night, dang it was cold. First bike I've had in 12 yrs, I'm abit clumbsy(just like the first time). Man!! It made me feel like I was 19-20 all over again!! Now.. do I bring the mustang out of the garage so I can put the bike in? Hmmm...

Nice Bike
 
Good luck with that ,be safe ! I am the same way ,I want a street bike again sooooo bad,but I am wondering if can really handle it like I use to .At one time I lived in Las vegas ( 4 yrs.) and I was putting 17000 mi a yr. and I would turn around and buy a new one each year (everybody had a bike there) then I move back to PA. and it was not the same ,not even close.So I sold a bran new 750 Ninja with 3200 mi on it.. Now I got the fever again.. anyway good luck with your Honda ..Michael;)

Thanks guys:). Its a 1998 Honda VFR800fi(interceptor). I wanted a comfortable bike and this was the only sport-touring bike in the 750 range. It will be good around town and for trips(best of both worlds). Someone ran in the back of me in 1990 while I was riding my V-Max and I sold it, just couldn't mentally ride the thing again(kept feeling like I was going to fall off).

I am sooo happy with my purchase, I really should have been riding all these years(I was thinking earlier). I went riding for a couple hours today and am very happy with my decision.. I can't wait 'til it warms up. Only thing that keeps going through my mind is.. I wonder which is faster, the mustang or the bike.. The mag says the bike runs 11.3s in the 1320, I really need to get the mustang to the track;).
