    That's its I've got rid of the bike I've never really liked - not the bikes fault just don't need a commuting bike. The bike in question is a 2007 VFR800 - bought it when I was expecting to start work in Essex so was planning to commute over the Dartford crossing every day. Luckily this didn't happen so it made the VFR redundant.

    I was planning to leave it until the weather warmed up but have just made an offer on a 2009 CBR1000RR9 with a Honda dealer up north and he's agreed to my price :) Deposit paid and taking delivery next week.

    Been riding since 1977 back in the Fizzy days and Ive had lots of bikes - latest being VFR800, CBR1100xx, 3 x CBR600s - Never had a Fireblade before for various reasons (blame my wife's fat arse) Always wanted one so really excited.

    Anyway Hi all :)
