Basically he means the VFR engine has been swapped for the RVF engine and as I can't give any advice he's asking.
And it is a very lovely looking VFR  ____________________ '99 Hornet 600 , VFR 400 NC30 '92 , Kasawamasaki GT 550 , '98 Hornet 600

The guy says he's had the bike for 7 years and has all the MOT and receipts to prove mileage, etc,
And the bike does look in extremely tip top condition. Fairings look brand new. Very lovely indeed. I wouldn't mind riding it  ____________________ '99 Hornet 600 , VFR 400 NC30 '92 , Kasawamasaki GT 550 , '98 Hornet 600

But it needs to be run in
And the sprockets need wearing in so you have to wheelie it. Seriously.  ____________________ '99 Hornet 600 , VFR 400 NC30 '92 , Kasawamasaki GT 550 , '98 Hornet 600

But I want to get it done right for you when you actually get on the bike. It has to be ready. Otherwise you will ruin it. ____________________ '99 Hornet 600 , VFR 400 NC30 '92 , Kasawamasaki GT 550 , '98 Hornet 600

From what i can remember the carbs on the rvf are smaller, gives an improvement in midrange at the expense of a tiny amount of peak power.
If your not already a member head over to www.400greybike.co.uk for alot of useful info and tips.
about to spend another couple of grand on mine over winter

ye am planning on keepin the FZR, theres no point selling it cos no one will offer me the right money. they dont sell well, not many parts around either. so i'd rather keep it, and fix it and say well i got this when i was 17 and look at it.
dunno if the missus will let me keep mine in the livin room tho lol  ____________________ Haz ER-5, innit! |
