- When I was looking for my VFR, I test rode about six machines with
- various aftermarket exhausts and carb jettings. NONE of them were
- as sweet, pleasant to ride, as quiet and tractable as the stone
- stock system. Oh yeah, I could easily feel that one setup had more
- midrange rush and another would be a little goosier at high rpm.
- But the stock system was quiet, the bike idled great, it's got a
- fantastic power spread and has pulled reliably to 140 on the clock.
-
- Actually improving on stock these days takes serious work. Leave it
- alone or return it to stock unless you're willing to make a serious
- commitment to development.
-
- I have a spare set of mufflers (right one has a scratch line from a
- low speed get off and is otherwise perfect) and a spare centerstand
- for the '87 VFR700FII for sale to anyone who needs/wants them. Make
- an offer if you are interested.
-
- I'll miss my VFR, but a new Ducati calls my name and I, slut that I
- am, have succumbed.

- 14 days left ...
