All 43- Coming back to VFRs?? Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. Since writing this I have tried the Ninja 1000. I did like it, it felt a lot smoother than the VFR. However as Audible points out, you can't have the topbox and panniers at…
- Coming back to VFRs?? Ok, first test ride, a 2016 VFR800F. This bike only had 40km on it so it was tight. The seating position seemed really upright, but having not ridden a VFR in two years and having just stepped off the Daytona, that's…
- Coming back to VFRs?? Hi all, been a long time since I've visited here. Like the new site After being robbed of my 04 VFR8 by an Evil Murderous Kangaroo about 2 years ago, I've been riding about on my Daytona (yes, ok, life's tough, lol)…
- 100 000 Km Here's the long story if you're interested. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/blog/143/entry-532-end-of-an-era/
- 100 000 Km My 04 had 161,000km on it by November 2014 when it was destroyed by a kangaroo. I think it had one stator, a couple of CCT swaps and I'd recently replaced the rear shock more as a refresh than having any problems with…
- Mild Head Shake On Deceleration Only Having two different brands is unlikely to be a factor. If you've just changed the rear, how old is the front? Prehap's its worn unevenly, some tyres do have a tendancy to scallop (the old BT020 fronts were terrible for…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Then More recently (crying face)
- Motorcyclist Collector's Issue. Sept 2014. Heads Up. dogman Frogfoot Epyon007 Frogfoot Honestly, making it the litre would drop it down the list for me. I think the current crop of middleweights by other manufacturers (Street Triple, Daytona, MT-09, MV's 675/800s, even…

- Motorcyclist Collector's Issue. Sept 2014. Heads Up. Honestly, making it the litre would drop it down the list for me. I think the current crop of middleweights by other manufacturers (Street Triple, Daytona, MT-09, MV's 675/800s, even the enduring GSXR750) show that…
- Suspension Failed On My 2011 Vfr800 With 10,000Km On The Clock I know zRoyz recommends Zenodamper here in Sydney, not sure where you are in NSW exactly. There is also a shop in Wallacia (Terry Hay's Shock Treatment) and also in Penrith whose name escapes me at the moment. I haven't…
- Sydney To Phillip Island Trip On Motogp Weekend If you have a fraction more time, you can get from Sydney to Canberra, with almost no time on the Hume as well (and the Hume isn't the Doom Boreway for nothing). Through Bowral and the Highland Way (top road) then from…
- Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? Honestly, I'd just find other folks to ride with. Or ride on your own. I do agree, it's the rider who wins not the bike. That's true at all levels, look at Rossi on his first Yamaha stint, or Stoner on the Ducati that…
- Intermittent Ticking From Engine 6Th Gen. I'm not sure about typical mileage, but mine were replaced at 55,000km (if I recall at the time, that was about normal for people's first set), but I've since ridden another 80,000km and they haven't needed replacing…
- 2012 VFR1200 not available in Australia yet! They've dropped the prices locally, a mate was quoted about $22K on road. That's down from about $26K and includes panniers. My 04 VFR8 cost almost $20K new with only the top box, and they're still $16K. He also…
- 2012 Laguna Seca MotoGP Picture Show Great pics, though I'm wondering where on the RVF you stashed the fuel drums for the ride home :tongue:
- Ok, it's a whale! I haven't had any interest in the litre's but I love the look of the R1. I love riding my VFR8, but I got a silly grin when I tested a GSXR600. I am very very keen on buying a GSXR750 as it's the same size bike with the…
- Givi top case with Honda side bags In Touring mode again Sorry can't help you with the side cases query, I never got them. I only have the factory top box which is the same as one Givi model. I don't find it very noticeable when loaded and riding. You do…
- Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? I'm looking at another bike at the moment too. However I don't plan to get rid of the VFR, after 120,000km I'm confident it can keep going. So if the VFR dies for whatever reason, I would happily buy a replacement 6th…
- Now I know I can fly and need improvement on landing!!! Glad to hear you're recovering well and enjoyed Tet. We've been enjoying Chinese New Year with friends of ours as well.
- Front tire is cupping. Why? I used to have that a lot with my BT020s. The BT021s were much better and my PR2 hasn't really shown it yet. Though that last one has so far only done 8000km. I think its a case of lots of freeway work. Almost all of my…
- lots of talk about the rossi/stoner incident at jerez They have announced an investigation into the marshall's behaviour. Though looking at that second vid I (haven't watched the race yet) there isn't as much of all to Rossi and then to Stoner as I had the impression of…
- Fall 2010 Cross Country Ride (LA>NY) Sounding like a great trip so far. Though a big part of me (being an over preparer for this type of trip) I'm sitting cringing at things "omg you never, and omg you didn't do that first, and you didn't check to see....…
- Michelin Pilot Road 3 Whoa, Road 3!!! I'm just trying my first Road 2s, and its only a front. Been running Metzlers when I can get them or BT021s. The BT021 on the rear has another few thou in it still, guess I'll have to see what a Road2…
- Metzeler has launch a new ST tire, Z8 I had a Metzler on the rear, a Z6? perhaps... been a while. Thought it was great and the mileage was excellent. I see you didn't like the BT020 (the fronts were very bad) but have you tried the BT021s? I've run them now…
- As it turns out, yella just ain't my thang The blue looks good, but i would use the Lapis Blue Matallic that the VTEC model got overseas. Oh yeah, and the wheels should be black, not blue. [image: Posted Image] I'm going to need a moment or two alone with this…
- In Oz OK, latest update from bike shop guy tells me is due March/April (sounded fairly firm on this) and expected price of $25,000 (but this wasn't yet official).
- Man, I like the White VFR1200. I'd like a Blue one... :)
- Engine Switched Off Gee, way to make me relaxed!!! However, almost identical conditions and no problems. I will still follow up the e;electrical investigation.
- Engine Switched Off Well the shop had it all day today. - small air pocket in cooling system - fixed - no charging problems - low idle setting (fixed the other day) - battery only pushing out 11V or 10V under load - waiting for new one…
- Engine Switched Off The "new" RR is about a year+ old now. But I'm sure Honda would say that the recall had fixed what was breaking them... which doesn't match with their RR history. Will get a multimeter... ought to have one anyway and…
- Engine Switched Off Bike Background - 04 model with 97,000km. Just had a major service last week. Had the whole loom and the RR replaced under the recall about 25,000km ago. Otherwise trouble free. Riding home the other day on a hot day…
- In Oz I think that price is pure speculation. I was in a different shop today and they said around $20,000, but also said they haven't actually been told anything by Honda yet. So all the timings and pricing have to be total…
- In Oz Well chatting to the bike shop this afternoon. They expect a March release here as well and gueesed at a sticker price of $25,000 (not sure if that included on road cost). For comparison, the 'Blade costs around $20,000…
- Not Quite, But Getting There As my mighty VFR rides ever closer to 100,000km (88,000km at the moment) I am starting to think about what may need to have some TLC to carry on for the next 100,000km. It's been regularly serviced in accordance with…
- V-tec Valve Adjustment Well, admittedly because I am very unmechanical, I have had mine checked in accordance with the book (every 24,000km) and I am pretty sure that it was adjusted every time (usually number 2 from memory) At about 46,000km…
- I'm Keeping It Had a early finish at work today and as was riding past the bike shop anyway, dropped in. Loitering in the sales area got the usual "Can I help you" (the front of the shop guys don't know me as I spend all my time at…
- 2002 Blue Paint Code My '04 colour code is PB-332P according to the sticker under the seat. I am reasonably certain that the colour is similar. Might be darker in the '02. Check out my photos to compare.
- Are My Vfr Dreams Crumbling? I've had my 04 since new and it's done over 78,000km. In that time apart from "consumables" (oils, tyres, chain & sprockets) all that I have had is the recall (without having had any problems) and the cam chain…
- Tyres, Temperatures And Pressures :laugh: :laugh: Thanks for the physics, I always remember it as PV/T=constant! Answers to the other questions. - I had used that valve over a whole bunch of tyre changes, but its been changed now. - I check it at home,…
- Tyres, Temperatures And Pressures Okay, I'm having an issue with a new front tyre (BT021) that got me thinking back to uni physics and the Universal Gas Law! I think I am experiencing a slow leak from the tyre, but its so slow and inconsistent I got to…
- Safety Recall Frogfoot Okay, Here's my own story.... Didn't know about the recall even with frequent visits in this site (slaps forehead) anyway, it was revealed to me when I was getting a new key (lost one of the originals). They…
