Hello from Minneapolis Minnesota!

[SleppRock]

Just traded in my 2013 Aprilia 750 Shiver for a NOS 2017 Honda VFR1200X.  It’s big, beautiful, and that ENGINE! They are putting on the Honda center stand and Maoko throttle lock and then I’m picking up my new bike.  I’ll be posting pics soon. Oh yeah, it’s the 6 speed manual and a beautiful red.

Lol! The Purple one aka Prince!  He is very strongly felt everywhere here in the a twin Cities. 

So I tried to get them to come down on the price of the 4 year extended warranty but no, Honda’s price - so I’m told is 770. For an additional 4 years, so 5 years of Honda warranty it is.  I have owned 5 dirt bikes and two street bikes over the course of my life. I just realized that I have never owned a new one.  I’m really looking forwards to this journey. I’ll be tipping a Guinness after I take delivery this Friday.  Thanks for the well wishes and I can’t wait to start talking to everyone on future fixing, tyres, and picture sharing. I’ll take all the advice I can get. Cheers!
