The main reason I changed from my 1996 vfr was that no breakdown company would promise repatriation of my bike back from Europe, the max age you get full cover was 12 years old,,some are 10 years old,
Otherwise I would still be riding my trusty VFR and would of never stumbled on this forum with its nest of twisted ,muddled middle aged Foocwits,,
oh and the nicehelpful ones.
