Then this happened on the way home. Glad it wasn't while on the track! Rear shock is totally blown.

Oh! Looks nice in that fairing! Do you have any more pics?
Yep. I'm vfrman1 on flickr.

Is that a vinyl wrap?
The bike looks very good.

The front end - on the ones in Italy, look like a ZXR400.

You have USD forks on it - what are they?
What mods have you done to the bike? It all looks very neat.

The finish is all paint. Even the Honda wing on the tank and VFR400R on the tail. No decals were used. The guy that painted it would be pissed if he heard someone thought it was a vinyl wrap. ;)
The bike in Italy is the same one that I posted here. The front end is from a Honda RS250.

Mods...Holy crap. I can't remember them all. I have a spec sheet somewhere. I guess I could create a thread on the build.

I'd be very interested in a build thread. I only thought vinyl wrap because I could see the VFR400 etc what looked like underneath the paint.

I had a yzf-750 painted that colour Image and it looked (in my opinion) awesome. I think it would work for the RVF now too...

I've been debating buying a cheap Chinese fairing but couldn't figure on the design - I might just go for plain metallic red. Trouble is - getting the tank painted - or could I get a tank cover of some sort?

I'm sorry, I don't see a bike in your pic...

The fairings on my bike aren't Chinese, nor are they cheap. The front upper and lower are Silhouette Japan, and the rear solo is MRacing.

Just got back from 3 days on track out in Spain on the Cartagena circit. The event was organised by No Limits, and my first excursion outside the UK with the NC30. I managed 17 sessions on track over the three days we were there. Completely knackered by the time I got home, and we've just been down to collect our bikes from freight depot in Swindon today.

The honda performed well and I loved the track, which was very twisty and grippy - it really suited the 400
