I use my heated grips a hell of a lot, even on summer days early in the mornings until the sun warms up and temperatures rise.  They just keep the chill off the digits.  Its not really the cold that keeps me from riding in the winter months, living in a rural area its all the crap on the roads.

I would get the bike that appeals to you as something you would enjoy riding when the resto is complete just as much as the resto itself.  Don't be put off by taking on a 4 cylinder bike, there are plenty of very knowledgeable people here who will keep you on the straight and narrow.  Good luck

Hi Ian


These are the risers I bought:

Re the exhaust, mine is actually not in bad nick, but I thought at £230 delivered, the Delkevic set up was too good to miss.  I will let you know how I get on with fitting it.  I have bought a set of 8 new cylinder head studs in case I encounter problems when taking the old exhaust off.

A quick update for anyone who's interested. 

I got a new front tyre fitted (a Pilot Road 2) to match the rear and I've also bought a Delkevic stainless exhaust system, minus the end can, which I'll fit over winter.  I also got some handlebar risers as I found I was getting wrist ache after about an hour in the saddle.  The rear OE Showa shock is OK, but feels a little tired, especially when you start to press on as it were, but after 27,000 miles and 21 years I suppose its entitled to be  retired gracefully,  so I've got a Sachs unit off my Tuono that I'm hoping will fit.  If not I'll probably buy a Hagon or something similar and that should be it for mods.   I'm really enjoying riding the VFR and currently it gets more use than my other two bikes as its just so easy and practical to ride.   For a couple of grand (or less!) they are brilliant value for money bikes IMHO.
