I got to give my newly acquired VFR1200 a good 300 km ride back from the place of purchase. I was greeted with a heavy rain storm as I just left the previous owners house and was thankful for good weather protection as I did not have wet weather gear. Conditions cleared and I got to try Big Red on some great twisty roads. Thoughts so far? I like it, I previously owned the VFR1200 F which was sadly missed and though this has less power it is still a good torquey engine. This image is from Maleny Queensland on one of my favourite riding roads.

Lovely, congrats. And with what looks like all the bits.
I would guess the X does not encourage you to be as naughty as the F.

I did find the road version was way to easy to find myself at some illegal speeds, it was the bike equivalent of a V8 which just is ticking away at higher speeds.

Hello Mikoviking,
Welcome to CT land, it looks like it doesn't have a radiator guard. I'd advise that that be your first addition, a new radiator is a very expensive affair, and on roads like the one it's on in the photo, I suspect you're going to need it !
Regards.
Wack
