I can't decide if I admire or hate you a little bit more every bike you get... poke

That is one of the best looking VFRs I've ever seen.  thumb I would say take care of it, but I know you will, so just ride safe.  Hap1

Look at the shock on that Yamaha!


I see some scrapes on the fairing, that must mean you are going to give us another awesome build thread, right? mol

Yeah that shock travels the distance of the frame, that one is a piece of hstory. Not sure what I am going to do with the R yet, I think a photo along side of the RWB NH is in store.. thumb

T/B is right - that Interceptor looks like it's going 100 mph standing in the driveway!!

It also looks like a physically large bike.  Prolly not quite as flickable as Jenn's bike.

But oh baby - I'd like to hear those gear driven cams on that pipe.  (he - give us a little video of that)

I think Yami was starting to experiment with the mono-shock in the mid-70s.  Like many things, racing paved the way for the public rides.  I believe the YZ dirt bikes started with the mono-shock in 1978 - I had a '79 YZ250.  Boy was that bike a beast!

Your collection of toys is incredible.

I'd like that little 250 for town terrorizing..   Was @ the H. shop last week looking at that new CBR 250...  

I'd say that RWB sounds like an Indy car.
