  2. Tire Choice- Conti Motion or ContiSport Attack Hypersport Tires 8 Jun 2017 21:08 Wanna get some new affordable rubber for my 05 VFR. Trying to decide on Conti Motion or ContiSport Attack Hypersport. Appreciate any info or recommendations.
  3. 2014 Middleweight Shootout - Make Mine A Vfr 5 Oct 2014 02:48 I still like the VFR even though the Kawi Ninja 1000 is tempting. The VFR is still more fun on the twisties. http://www.motorcycl...g-Shootout.aspx

  6. 15 Best Motorcycle roads in the USA. 10 Mar 2011 18:41 That list is like a lot of lists - only places in the MidWest and West Coast mostly. Is it because of scenery?? There are no roads from Ct or Pa or NJ listed (another reason I do not support AMA at all). I am in NYC and…
  7. Sigma Performance Slipper Clutches for VFRs? 7 Mar 2011 16:54 A lot of people think a slipper clutch is a waste of time on the VFR. I ride year round and in the rain. a slipper clutch comes in handy in the rain. You can check Hinson, STM and Yoyodyne - they may have a VFR slipper…
