All a matter of opinion, I don't feel its a lateral move at all. Haven ridden both I find the VFR to be a much more refined ride than the FZ6R... no comparison IMHO.

With only 4k+ miles that bike is still new! Go to VFRD Home and do some reading up. I think the VFR would be a great next bike! Of course I'm a little bias owning one and all...

Welcome for Duluth! Nice looking bike!

I see you have a GoPro mounted there, would love to see a snippet of this ride and this mounting location!

Nice effort! Looks great!

After two flat tires in two years... I never leave home without a repair kit.

Wallet. Never leave home without it anyway...

Welcome from Duluth!

Really looking forward to getting my hands on that Ohline VFR shock I ordered for you! Appreciate the price match too :thumbup: John

I think that's the question. I tried both Shoei and Arai, the Arai simply fit me better, so that's what I bought. Both are nice helmets.

To hot into a corner resulted in my one and only crash. Did just what I shouldn't have done, panic brake, stood the bike up, crossed lanes, ended up in the ditch. Lucky for me it was a quite back road. What I learned I should have done was just what you stated, "get off the brakes and lean lean...

Found another clip from this vacation... Deals Gap. Have to apologize for the quality, its kind of hazy account the camera lens fogged over a little. Anyway, hope you enjoy, I know I did! Dragon front fork-mount - YouTube

You should check out the roads in Southwestern Wis, kind of around the La Crosse area. Use google map with the terrain feature checked. I've heard it called "alphabet souping", just look for the county road with letters. Haven't been there myself... yet, going next year, but I heard there's some...

Congrats! Let the good times roll :thumbup:

Happy BD Dude!

It is tempting to goose it a little on parkway, nice corners for sure! We make an annual trip to NC for riding and the parkway is always in the plan. Rode it end-to-end this year, along with the Skyline Parkway, some 550 miles worth of enjoyment. Enjoy the trip!

Some of the things I really like about the PRPW are that there are no stop signs on it, none! No trucks, no bill boards, just incredible views no matter which way you look. Scenic rest stops seems like ever mile or so. Speed limit is mostly 45mph, I think you can get away with 5 over, but really...

If time becomes an issue, ride the bottom half. You'll have to plan gas stops as none is sold on the parkway, stop at one of the infor rest stop and ask. And be sure to look for and take roads that lead to/from the parkway, that's were you'll find some really nice twisty stuff.

Same here... oops!

Picked up a nail last year, this year a bone fragment. Long ways from home on both occasions, thankfully I had the repair kit with and was back on the road in about 30 minutes.
