  1. '84 VF750 Interceptor HELP 12 Feb 2012 12:58 Having re-animated several VF750F's I can tell you certainly do have a lot of work ahead of you. I am not sure of Florida, but here in New York when a dealer sells a vehicle one of the DMV forms they sign indicates that…
  2. Enhanced license vs Passport 29 Jan 2012 00:37 Get a pass port. It is the only type of ID that you can count on for re-entry into the US if there are any issues with border closings etc. As far as allowing a hotel to hold my pass port - I have traveled extensively…
  3. New (to me) '07 thoughts 15 Aug 2011 10:52 My 07 RWB is pure stock when it comes to engine/pipes and is very smooth from idle. In 1st it can "jerk" a bit but that is really just the FI being responsive to input and just takes a bit of getting used to. Given all…
  4. What to pay for a new 2010 VFR from dealer? 31 Jul 2011 13:13 My Honda Dealer: Sportline Power Products (sportlinepower.com) in Glens Falls, NY has one for $11,999 - at least he did on Thursday last - 7/28/11 They are an EXCELLENT dealer, fair prices, very helpful - good old…

  6. Looking for advice 7 Jul 2011 01:55 Not a lot of miles for sure. It does seem a bit pricey though since I bought my brand new 07 in 08 for $9k delivered taxes included. (no ABS though)
  7. Go with a plan, or wing it? 19 May 2011 14:27 It really depends on what sort of personality you have. So, go with what makes you comfortable and enjoy the trip no matter which method you choose. The idea is to have an enjoyable, relaxing time, not fit yourself or…
  8. 6 month Storage questions..... 13 May 2011 10:47 Since the tank is off the bike I agree you should keep it empty. Stabilizer is said to only add about 1 week to fuel life, though my VFR ran started and well after a winter full of fuel and seafoam. To keep your empty…
  9. I got twins! 30 Apr 2011 10:29 NICE! I have been a 1 bike guy for over a year now and I am having a difficult time with withdrawal from MBS. I am currrently thinking a lot about a VF500F some guy near me has for cheap. Just trying to make room in my…

  12. what mods for a vfr 21 Feb 2011 11:54 I have the Pazzo shorty levers on my 2007 and they are great. I just (4 days ago) had carpal tunnel surgery on my left wrist and all last season (pre-surgery) I had no trouble pulling the clutch. Heli-bars made the…
  13. Should I be concerned? 21 Feb 2011 11:34 My 2007 will wheelie in 1st gear solely on the VTEC engagement when I roll the throttle on. I do not need to lift the bars at all. Be aware of it and then enjoy it when ever you want to. Just another feature offered by…
  14. Twists and Leans: Trusting your Tires... How did you do it? 22 Jan 2011 11:52 If you want a copy of the Kieth Code DVD LMK and I will make one for you so long as you don't tell the copyright police! :laughing6-hehe:
  15. It's a Done Deal! 30 Dec 2010 12:23 Well, i hope this is the right place for this as I could not really find anywhere exactly on point. (Some pics have VFR's in them). Last night Amy and I tied the knot. At 5:30 PM EST on 12/29/2010, we got married. She…

  19. Pictures that bring a smile to your face 13 Nov 2010 12:19 Good Friday, April 2, 2010 Vermont ride with snow covered Stratton Mountain in the background. Amy and I had a fabulous weekend with 70+ degree temps, even in the mountains. [image: Posted Image] Fall ride through the…
  20. Time to pack it in. 5 Nov 2010 11:36 God speed a fast complete recovery for you! Important decisions come when we have moments of clarity and know absolutely that we are making the right choice. Enjoy your family. Our time with loved ones is always far too…
  21. "Being Reflective" 20 Sep 2010 01:02 Sure can! Is it possible to get that stuff in red? That way no one confuses the white reflection with the appearance of an oncoming vehicle? Just wondering.
  22. 85 vfr750 no power in mid section 19 Sep 2010 20:46 Sounds like one or more of your carbs have bad diaphragms. Pull the carb tops and examine them. It can be something as small as a pin hole. Just my $.02. Age eventually gets to everything.
  23. Burger Run II Saturday, Sept 4th 30 Aug 2010 11:17 Stuck here working in Syracuse till the seventh. No riding till then. This working thing really sucks. Those roads are a great ride.
  24. How far can I ride in 7-8 days? 23 Aug 2010 00:07 How far can I ride in 7-8 days? It depends on who is chasing you and how mad they are....... How far really depends on you and how well you feel. I have gone 600 miles in a day and felt great. Other times I was wrung…
  25. Grip Recommendations 7 Aug 2010 11:09 I have large palms so the stock grips on my 07 were too small, causing some discomfort/cramping. I bought a set of Grip Puppys and have had them on for two seasons with excellent results. More comfort and excellent…
  26. Title Help 13 Jul 2010 12:16 [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 13 July 2010 - 05:27 AM, said: I am parting out the same exact bike - a 1986 VFR700F. I have a good frame with clean title. Buying it would save you a lot of paperwork, but of course you'd…
  27. Need to find Comfort on my VFR800-Help 17 Feb 2010 13:11 What they all said! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ or as we used to say when I was a young pup, DITTO!

  29. vf1000f project 14 Jan 2010 12:57 I am interested to see your project develop as I have 2 1000F's in the garage. 1 with 2600km and another that someday will hopefully become a custom naked bike project with a 1000R engine (I have most of the parts…
  30. testride: VFR 1200 F - SC63 13 Jan 2010 13:07 At last, some real experience to report. I wonder if the EU bikes have the same performance specs as the USA bikes?
  31. will the bike fit in a minivan? 10 Jan 2010 19:46 Montana should be about the same inside height as a Grand Caravan and I could only get a bike inside that by laying it over to about 45 degrees. Not the best way to transport a bike.
  32. Mighty Morphing Power V4's 31 Dec 2009 13:10 All the morph vids should have ended up with a guy standing next to the bike with his pockets turned in side out and a wallet laying open and empty on the seat. Otherwise, nice work. I know, I know, everyone is a…
  33. Radar Sliders 20 Dec 2009 00:48 Double plus on that! Also, I dropped my VFR in a parking lot last summer and Radars sliders kept the damage down to a couple of small scratches on my right side Hard Bag and the right side mirror. :fing02: :fing02:
  34. Cool reply from HRCA. 16 Dec 2009 13:04 Cool that Honda are going to do that. It is just that for the cost of a trip from here to down under I would be a good way toward just buying one! Hmmmmm, think HRCA in the states will be arranging something like…

  36. Helibar degree of difficulty? 28 Nov 2009 15:14 :+1: on the big improvement in comfort! As far as the cutting, my dremel crapped out on me so I did it with a 4" angle grinder with a cut off wheel on it! Still worked out just fine.
  37. ABS : worth it ? 25 Nov 2009 18:00 Bought mine without and really wish I had spent the extra $1000 for it. Just buy the Honda extended warranty for the bike so if there is an issue you are covered.(check out HDL parts for the extended warranty. They give…
  38. Spent some time in the garage today... 22 Nov 2009 23:47 Now if only it was possible to do that and keep the factory hard bags mounted.............
  39. My bike got hit by a car friday 22 Nov 2009 23:44 Seb: "Very good grasshopper. You learn well" LOL. +++ on the advice to have it checked out by a professional. Way back when I was a youngster I had a car (67 Buick Skylark GS 400) that got "tapped" in the rear and I saw…
  40. Found on the Intardwebz 22 Nov 2009 15:17 Nice muffler though!
  41. new 6th gen owner with a question 22 Nov 2009 13:52 The vibration you describe is very normal. Not what you would expect from a V4 Honda, but normal nonetheless. I have the benefit of perspective having owned VF750F's, VF1000F's and VF1000R's. Those bikes never had any…
  42. Catastrophic Engine Failure 17 Nov 2009 11:57 Do not accept NO for an answer here. Everyone is correct - part failed and there were no user items involved. Oil and Coolant fine. No over revs - the ECU can track that. Remember, Warranty (Insurance) companies are in…
  43. need new 06 or newer with ABS 9 Nov 2009 00:39 Look at E-bay. Seems most of them show up there. There a several new leftovers listed now. Search 2006 - 2009 Interceptor. Good luck.
  44. 6th Gen Insurance Rates 3 Nov 2009 01:38 I pay $340 per year for full coverage with $250 deductible. 54 years old, single with no tickets or accidents. In NY. That price was 60% lower than geico or progressive.
  45. Bought a 2007 VFR last Friday 30 Oct 2009 21:37 Nice Find and WELCOME! So, is that how you get 1x,xxx posts? The secret is out!
  46. Introducing... 25 Oct 2009 10:24 WELCOME! Seems you are in NJ? JIC, I somehow ended up with an extra 1000R engine if that becomes a necessity. LMK
  47. 6th G Vs Ducati Mts? 22 Oct 2009 10:45 I don't know how Ducati do it. With all the fine styling houses available in Italy such that the rest of the world go there when looking for that "One Beautiful Design" they come up with this thing that looks for all…
  48. Initial Ride Impressions Of My 07 Vfr 22 Oct 2009 10:37 Yep, a very nice all round performer. As far as your gf, until you switch seats maybe be a little less on the "launch" mode? :wheel: Unless of course you are looking for a way to have her not want to ride pillion with…

  50. First Ride Report Vfr 1200 18 Oct 2009 10:39 Another case of Flacks writing the "news" through the use of surrogates ("reporters"). However, at a price nearly 8k US over the VFR800 it should come with its own Japanese guy to do all the maintenance and keep it all…
