I got a 2nd ride (and it's faster!!)

I picked her up today.
She's made in Japan and is black with gunmetal rims. Has dual exhausts and clear turn signals. But the best part is she's faster than my Turbo'd 8!

Below are a few pictures.

Holy crap...those are sweet dual exhausts. I'm curious, how much did you get them for?

They're stock.
I forgot to mention the bike is an 06 Honda, VFR800 (interceptor).

Not just faster than your turbo 8, but faster than any other production car, I think a quarter in the high tens for the Interceptor? It's V4 is also rather unique. Great all round choice, congrats!

/me waits for all the RX-8 haters to start complaining about how crappy the VFR800 is due to 61 ft-lb torque

The upright position was one of the main selling points. My previous bike was a CBR600RR and it was nice and all, but dammmmn that riding position sucked if you rode for more than 20miles!! I turned 30 last year and it's starting to show.

Nice gixxer. Yes, above 160mph it starts to get scary. I won't be doing any performance mods, using it mostly for touring (getting the hard bags soon).

Oh, and for those who care, that's just reflective rim tape, not neon lighting like you may all be thinking
