For all you crotch-rocket, homo-lovers out there who shouldn’t be looking at this site in the first place (just kiddin)… I wanted to let you know that I’m secretly also a homo-crotch-rocket lover… minus the homo part.<\/p>\n

Every since living in New Zealand and owning a late 80’s crotch-rocket (87 cbr250r), I’m a big fan of them, and I’m convinced that in a few more years, late 80’s bikes will ultimately become the new “fad”… kinda like how cafe-racers are the hot shit right now.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this late 80’s VFR400 – NC30. It was never offered in the US. I had the pleasure of checking this thing out in NZ at a MC shop up the street from me called Red Baron<\/a>. The sales dude explained the bike, and how it’s basically the sickest thing honda made in the late 80’s. It’s small and nimble. Just how I like ’em. Same size as my cb450. The bigger bike available in the States… the VFR750 – RC30 is badass, but it’s too big for me. This 400 is the perfect size. So fuckin sick.<\/p>\n

I made a couple friends in NZ who I still keep in touch with. Somehow I need to figure out how to buy this cycle, and have one of my buddies help me get it on a shipping container.<\/p>\n

So badass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
