My first VTR was black from 1998 and it was also my first bike greater then 250cc. It was crazy to buy such a bike without much experience riding any sports bikes but I loved the way it look so much that I didn't want to think about any other bike (at least not for the $ which I was ready to pay for it). I loved to ride on this bike and I have decided to use it for commuting.
After few months I have changed it to Honda CBF 1000cc 2008. It was great bike either and better for commuting. Now, I am working very close to home and I needed bike just for weekends therefore I have decided to get back to VTR because it is much more characteristic bike and it gives you much more fun from riding it.
I will upload pictures of the bike soon.
