New (old) Bike

[campagman]

Just agreed to buy a red 96 VFR as a 'project' bike.
Been looking at all sorts of bikes, makes and styles, finally ended up with VFR.
Only got 14000miles on it and needs some cleaning up/fettling.

Hope I've made a good choice as a stable mate to the TA

Should be OK at that mileage, and age shouldn't matter ! - I owned a '96 VFR for about 5 years and never had any real probs.

The only thing I remember ( apart from regulator/rectifier (?) issue ) is if the rear exhaust primaries need replacing, it's an engine out job. Oh, and water/muck can sit on top of the collector box and rot it iirc.

Thanks Baggy, will take note when it arrives early next week

red VFR? thats the best colour,i had a 1989 one in 1990 i think the only probs are what Baggy pointed out.
14,000 miles? only just run-in! they will go ten times that if looked after.
