All 38- Reached a milestone today! [image: View Post]auggius, on 14 August 2012 - 09:49 AM, said: Well seems I was a little premature. I am only at 99,419 miles. It's 160,934 km that is equivalent to 100K miles. Got my conversion wrong. Darn! But…
- Goodbye vfr You have to post pictures of the 750 or else we will all think you have a scooter! But seriously, don't feel like you cannot visit and post...afterall, they even let ME stick around here!
- Distracted Drivers I want to add my voice to the chorus: I have had many close calls with distracted drivers, especially cell phone users and peple texting. It is our society...our culture is narcissistic so people act however they please…
- Sport riding while staying seated You are all correct. Really. I feel that like in many areas of life, it is best to learn many different techniques and approaches so that one can apply whatever technique is best for any given situation. The key is to…
- Reflectors And Paint Lines [image: View Post]VFR4Lee, on 16 November 2008 - 11:47 PM, said: Quote I will admit that I was taking the turn a little too fast, but I'm pretty sure I would have made it had the line dividing the two turning lanes not…
- TOTALED! [image: View Post]Monk, on 26 October 2010 - 04:43 PM, said: It my understanding that the new Connie has taken care of the issues that were bothering owners....... heat transfer to rider, and mirror location...........…
- TOTALED! I am sorry to hear that. Heal quickly! And yes, I stuck around here after getting rid of my VFR...this IS one of the best Forums around. Great choice on the new bike. I think many of us want that bike. I can sure vouch…

- Hell for Leather review of the VFR1200F (spoiler: it's harsh) [image: View Post]dozerdogue, on 13 July 2010 - 07:14 PM, said: What an absolute crock. I don't know who paid this clown off but someone sure in hell did. What is he talking about underpowered and sloppy he's kidding…
- Lights. [image: View Post]Tightwad, on Aug 25 2009, 09:39 AM, said: possibly a bad headlight or high beam relay? But intermittent problems are the hardest to troubleshoot. Try wiggling the connections while looking for any…
- Lights. A fellow Tucsonan checking in with you. Very odd. It doesn't seem to make sense, especially since the rain doesn't seem to be a factor. Weak switch or intermittent wiring issue? Good luck with the issue.
- Gear Position Indicator I agree that I SHOULD know what gear I am in and I too have my little memory devices for remembering BUT when one has more than one bike it can be a bit confusing especially in the heat of the moment. Additionally, my…
- Going To The Dark Side No, no...it is when you have a completely black kit: black leathers, gloves, boots, and helmet** And then you can do that Darth Vader breathing sound to get folks to laugh. (BTW, I just added a black shoei x-11 to my…
- Going To The Dark Side Come to the DARK SIDE...we've got cookies! Congrats on the new bike. I think you'll love the VTEC...a nice change midway through the power band...love that BARK it makes! Be safe on the way home and welcome to the 6th…
- Stomp Grip! Just did my first ride (on my Daytona) with the Snake Skin version. Very good. Easy to grip with the knees...looks good...easy to apply...stays put...not tacky to the touch but enough of a grip to hold onto and I do not…
- Stomp Grip! Yup, count me in too. I just ordered the snake skin version for my new Triumph. Sounds like the perfect combo of grip, appearance, and safety for the leathers.
- Stomp Grip! [image: View Post]pres589, on May 21 2009, 08:29 AM, said: I haven't noticed any tearing or abnormal wear on pants (jeans, dress pants, or motorcycle specific pants) after installing the Tech Skins on my VFR. I'm not…

- Not Sure If I'll Regret This. [image: View Post]TimC, on May 6 2009, 10:41 AM, said: Great post, Nungboy. :fing02: I agree with just about everything you said. Only one thing I'd add, poconovfr, and that's if you do make the trade, the GSX-R will…
- Not Sure If I'll Regret This. I have been trying for quite some time to put into words my thoughts on two main issues...not just for the Forum here but also to explaing MY desire for a second, sportier bike to my family and friends. The first one is…
- Not Sure If I'll Regret This. [image: View Post]timmythecop, on May 5 2009, 05:31 PM, said: One has character One is a cookie cutter One attracts squids One attracts really nice fellows One will be forgotten in 10 years One will be sought after in…
- Not Sure If I'll Regret This. [image: View Post]elizilla, on May 5 2009, 04:23 PM, said: Maybe the guy swapping the GSXR has qualms too. Perhaps you could arrange to trade, and each ride the other bike for some short, defined period, and then if…
- Magnetic Tank Bag Bad For The Metallic Paint? Hmmm...that is news to me. I don't really know...sorry! (BUT, don't do what I did and place the bag on the ground for a short while without checking the magnets for debris. I did that and scraped up the paint...turns…
- 08 Question [image: View Post]Popsrcr, on Apr 9 2009, 10:46 AM, said: [image: View Post]TimC, on Apr 9 2009, 01:25 PM, said: On the 6th gen. you can have both the grab handles and the rear seat cowl installed at the same time. Both…
- It's Another One Of Those Bloody Vtec Threads My 07 doesn't exhibit any "bad" symptoms. I get that VTEC hit just when it should and I do not notice any lag or dip. LOVE IT!
- Thinking Of Getting Out Of Motorcycling My main reply is back a page or two but after reading the latest replies it occurred to me how ironic it is that one rarely hears of anyone carefully weighing (and discussing them in Forums) the pros and cons of other…
- Oil ? I sorta see both sides...much of me wants to either completely avoid an "OIL" thread and part of me wants to be witty and joke around (I LOVE the baby oil comment!). I agree that we shouldn't give new people a hard time…
- Thinking Of Getting Out Of Motorcycling [image: View Post]ericlw, on Feb 28 2009, 06:00 PM, said: personally if its all about "risk". well you take risks everyday. you could suffocate sleeping in bed. you could slip and fall taking a shower. get hit by a car…
- My 2005 Vfr's Top Speed Is 137, What's Wrong? I know the thread he is referring to and it had a LOT of responses. Naturally, many of them were of the "that is wrong to ride that fast or even talk about riding that fast anywhere outside of the track" kind and the…
- Are My Vfr Dreams Crumbling? Reliable? The way I see it, if a VFR isn't reliable enough for you, you need a single speed bicycle. The press sees the VFR as one of the best designed, best built, and most reliable MCs ever. Nothing never breaks...but…
- New Viffer Owner Yes...WELCOME! Very nice ride! And what a score with bags too! I would love to get bags for my red machine. Be safe, enjoy the ride and enjoy the site. GOOD KARMA!!!
- New V5 Pic, New Story - 60th Anniv Model Yes, this is truly the "best" thing (where is that smileyface-thingy that denotes SARCASM?) about the internet: spreading wild rumor and fantasy. Ever read any interviews with Bill Bruford? He is the drummer from Yes…
- Should I Hold Out For Abs? A very contentious issue this. But my feeling is: get the ABS. There is every advantage to be gained and nothing to lose except the extra money and the addition of 8 lbs or so. I wouldn't have a bike without ABS. To…
- Riot Grrrl, The Crash, The Story, The Pictures Thank you for sharing your story and spirit. You have helped many people with your determination and positive outlook.
- Cycle World, June 2008 Issue Came In Today I check out most of the non-cruiser mags and noticed that VFR's are showing up all over. Cool. I think it is the "Volvo" syndrome. Ever notice how often Volvos show up in ads for things? It is the "safe" car to use when…
- Type Of Helmet! I also have an Icon. It is the Domain (in silver). Seems to have very good airflow and is quite quiet for the amount of airflow. Looks really cool too! ("Remember, it is better to looook good than to feel good...") And…
- 6th Gen Owners Manual It IS in the manual. When I picked mine up from the dealer two weeks ago, they didn't bother to set the clock so I looked it up and set it before leaving...one must know the time, musn't one? The temp gauge and the…
- Cortech Tribag Review - Plus New 18l Tank Bag Someone posted this question above but no one seemed to answer. Does the Cortech Tri-bag system fit (and not get fried) on a 6th gen? I have the bags from my Z750S days and haven't tried them on the VFR yet. Do the they…
