Well seeing as the winter has closed in and the weather has been very poor, I thought it was time I came off the computer and do something that would interest me, so whilst I was out the shops today I stumbled across a model kit for the Honda VFR750, it was £14.99 and I though, Great!

So I got home in my delight after having to buy the glue (how rediculous) and started to build it, I have now finished step one of building the frame. I need to buy some paints to paint the details, so that will be a trip to the modelling place tomorrow, I will also but the decals on as well.

I will post on my progress and hopefully should have it finished before or after Christmas, I will update you lot with pictures. Smile

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Don't me, blame the box, it blatantly says VFR750R on the side. Embarassed

It is a VFR750.

VFR750R rather than a VFR750F

All the best

Nah, just motorcycle geeks call it the RC30, being an Honda internal code.

Mind you, that would make most of us geeks.

All the best
