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!

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

Hey adrian1 is that a Mustang setting beside the bike in the garage? Just curious as it looks like it with the hood lines and so forth?

Yes, it's an 03 cobra. It's my roommates car. Dyno'd at 450whp (smaller pulley 14psi, no cats.)

The SV1000 is a great bike, but a bit heavy. The SV is a beast at the track. I love out-breaking and passing people with 30+ more HP in the corners. As long as I get a good exit, I can keep ahead of them and turn good lap times at most tracks.
