  2. Best place to buy Staintunes 11 Jun 2010 12:56 Glad it fits! I wonder why Staintune changed the design at this late date, considering the VFR800 is now out of production. The only thing I can think of is a lot of folks having cracks in the weld at the V in the…
  3. iphone as gps 21 Apr 2010 20:35 Someone may correct me on this, but isn't the location system used in the iPhone dependent on a cellular signal rather than satellite like a standard GPS unit. I had though that Apple/AT&T used more of a triangulation…

  5. Too expensive retail prices 25 Feb 2010 13:32 You are correct on Honda's new pricing, just plain stupid high. Granted, the bike may actually be worth that price given the R&D and tech that it has, but to compete in the segment (Sport/Tour) against bikes like the…

  11. The First Offical Pic 9 Oct 2009 22:41 Has anyone seen any pics of the bar area with the automatic? I'd like to see what that setup is going to look like. Maybe Honda will recycle leftover ATV ESP shifters for it - :blush:

  13. The First Offical Pic 9 Oct 2009 12:22 Well, I like the new VFR12K, but am still disappointed in its lack of true touring specs. Many seem to be/have been hoping for a more supersport type of reincarnation for the VFR which i do not completely understand. If…
