Hi everyone! Just thought that I have browsed and sponged off enough information from here that I might as well join the forum.

Brief history of bikes owned so far, not meant to show off at all :
2008 Honda CB600 (Honet)
2010 Honda VFR1200 Manual
2011 Honda CBR1000RR ABS
2013 Honda NC700X Manual

I have some mods coming soon and will post them nice pics when I get them done, one by one...

I am curretnly based in the Jacaranda City of Pretoria and hope to meet some of you soon!

for now!

Hi Davido - ! Glad to see that the East is not as far as I thought ;D

There are more members in your area who seem to be interested in meeting each other - so just watch this space.

Pics and posts about your mods will be !

Hi . I can see that you are a true Honda fan. How was your experience with the vfr1200. I am thinking of buying the vfr1200x. Looking forward to chatting with you.

Regards

EcoRider: I am from the Far East, but not sure if that is far enough for you or not?
Fabian: The VFR1200 was really great for "sport-touring" but the tank was rather small, averaging about 270km for a 17lt tank. V4 engine was VERY torguey and smooth but with a subdued V4 note. Fully adjustable suspensions were awesome, though the factory setting was never inadequate for the riding I did. Brakes worked like sport bikes and the C-ABS saved my life twice. Handling was neutral and predictable; ride was comfortable and yet sporty at the same time. It's a heavy bike when stationery but feels much smaller when on the go. I got into track riding and took it on to the track twice. Eventually sold it for the Blade cos got a bit more serious with track riding. That's the short version of it.

As for the VFR1200x, get a BMW1200gs instead. Now which version do you want on that?
