That's quite a nice motorcycle. It's been on my wishlist for years. Good luck, enjoy yourself and ATGATT.
So after riding this for a while I can provide a review. It has a Two Brothers carbon fiber exhaust which sounds incredible. Starts ok at 35 degrees in the morning with plenty of choke, once warmed up the idle has this wandering nature which is fascinating. With the V4 it can be ridden gently around town at 3000 rpm at 30 mph without issue. Alternatively from a stop light in a 55mph zone I can hold on, open her up to max throttle and take her to 11,000rpm, then shift to 2nd gear and then ease off as 55mph has been reached. I mounted some Michelin Pilot Road 3s to replace the worn tires from the previous owner, fantastic confidence builder in the rain, and a new X-ring chain and sprockets to get the drivetrain up to scratch.
Was using her to commute daily to work, mostly highway, one night I was working late, started up fine but when I checked the controls wasn't getting any tail light illumination, or brake lights. Had no choice but to ride her home, it was ok during the early part of the ride with streetlights, but then got to the section without lighting. I was convinced I was going to get plowed from behind by someone, or pulled over. Amazingly got home without incident. Next day I pled off the rear fairing and found it was due to one of the crimped connectors coming off one of the lamp leads, crimped it back on and squished tight with pliers, no worries since.
I actually did get rear ended at a stop light on the VFR at a later date, bright sunny day, all rear lamps working, light changed to red, I was in the right lane dedicated to turning right. Came to a stop, first in line, left foot down, there was cross traffic so couldn't turn on the red (legal in the US). 3 seconds or so and bang, jolted on the bike as it basically moved under me, look behind me and a red sedan has plowed into the rear of me. Hit the engine kill switch, get off the bike and it stays upright, sedan front air dam has risen up over my rear tire and the carbon exhaust took the hit from the hood. I had her reverse off the tire and then she fell over. Took a bit of extended cranking but she started back up and was ok to drive home. Frankly I considered myself lucky to not be crippled or killed from something like that, things that helped were that the bike and handlebars wee pointing straight ahead, if I had been at an angle to make the turn it would have thrown the bike over on to its left , with me prob underneath it. And the fact it was a low profile car, and not a higher riding truck. Had to take one sick day just to lay flat cause it did tweak the back a little, but all good after a day of rest. Driver says "I thought you were turning", I said "I was but there was this red light......"
Anyway highly recommended if you ever get a chance to pick one up. Makes me glad to be alive anytime I ride her.
