New bike
Posted: 27 Jul 2015, 23:36
This afternoon I picked up a pretty well sorted VFR750 on a '97 P Reg.
The mileage is on 68k but it wants for nothing and has a full service history etc etc.
In the past 12 months it's had:
Major service inc valve clearances
Forks rebuilt with hyperpro progressive springs, new oil seals, dust seals & oil
New head bearings
New Nitron rear shock
New power bronze rear hugger
Newly powder coated wheels fitted with new wheel bearings front & rear
New swing arm bearings & bushes
New rear hub bearings
New Black Shadow wavy discs front & rear with new EBC sintered pads
New NGK Iridium plugs & K&N air filter
New wezmoto braided brake lines front & rear
New Delkevic high level exhaust with stainless headers
Carbs ultrasonically cleaned, dynojet kit fitted & set up on dyno by a decent tuner near Grimsby, his name escapes me, currently at 108hp at the back wheel which for an 18 year old bike with 68k on the clock is pretty good, more than when it left the production line anyway.
It sounds fantastic, V4 motor and gear driven cams and the full exhaust system (baffle out of course). Pics to follow in the daylight
Again, considering the age it looks great, the dark purple/blue paint has a nice deep shine and the wheels look great in white, how long they'll stay like that I don't know.

I just went for a quick 30 minute blast and it rides really well. Not an out and out focussed sports bike but still quick. Engine is nice and torquey and doesn't feel like it's done 70k (not 68k as previously stated). The suspension and riding position will get some getting used to as it's totally different to the Tiger 800XC, and the noise?! I reckon every female I went past walked home on jelly legs to change their underwear, proper gusset soaker 
That'll do the job TB.
