Hi @teo63, we did 450miles to Chester and back the other weekend, felt it when we got back , I'm actually finding it ok , but missus finding the rear seat hard and after 150miles starts moving!!! But liking bike, only downside is chain, vfr800 tighten every 8 - 10 thousand miles. Now at 2800miles and chain needs to be tightened !!! Hopefully a guy in Richmond doing it tomorrow morning . -

The bike in question was the NR500, Mick Grant and i think Freddie Spencer rode it at the British GP at Silverstone, I believe mick's crashed and caught alight on the first lap. It was then developed into the NR750 and actually raced by journalist, and then became one of the most beautiful looking road bike's looking, I nearly brought one when Bat motorcycles had 2 for sale. Its still on my bucket list to own one , but probably will never happen!!!
