Last 50 of 61- Vic Van to San Fran Just finished a four day 2657kms/1650mile trip. The R1 is not too comfy. Thought it would be better than for the all day rides. However it is the best damn bike I have had on a road trip! arg!

- Vic Van to San Fran That is an ideal time for a Cali trip. I would love to be a strong maybe for this trip. My only concern is five days is just not enough. 9 days is a good amount of time.
- Catastrophic Pilot Road 3 Failure I have about 2500miles on my PR3s (yammy R1) and wear is perfect but I am anal about my tire pressure (keep it at recommended spec). The thread in question just reeks of rider error and stupidity. While I am interested…
- My first impressions on Pirelli Angel St's Not a fan of the Pirelli Angels either. I did not like the aggressive profile. The Michelin Pilot Road 2 and 3s are much better. I low sided on the Pirelli Angels. If you run your finger along the far sides of the tire…
- Ninja 1000 vs. VFR??? I had no idea these bikes even existed! Must be new from Kawasaki. My only hesitation with this bike would be that it is a beta year bike. There are always issues with beta year bikes. Looks like a good choice.
- Do my levers look right? Call me crazy but I just won't buy into 1) Made in China 2) comments like "fit and finish seem fine" These levers are probably just fine and the above comment is just my two cents.
- Pruned inactive members With the anonymous nature of the internet making a few hurdles to be a part of the site is the way to go. I trade Natural Gas and Oil and I have similar website setup to VFRD. If I didn't close it to the open internet…

- 2011 VFRD Calendars beautiful job Dutch. I'm honored to be a part of it.
- Scorpion: EXO-1000 Appollo on Sale Ridiculous deal!!!! Bought a blue one!
- Why do you post on VFRD I had to figure out my electrical problems somewhere! Honda sure wasn't helping! That and I love the ride reports section :D
- Multistrada 1200 Personally I think the worst things going against the new Duc MS and the new VFR 1200 is they are beta year bikes. I would much rather have a tried and true 2008 K1200S.
- Multistrada 1200 Here is a review of the new Ducati Multistrata from good rider buddies of mine. They seem to like it... alot! To comment on the maintenance. Ducati has been getting better with it. The maintenance schedule is not nearly…
- Riding up to Mt.Baker Let's try and meet here for about 2pm or 3pm. Does that work? We can use this thread to see if we can get a few more people or we can start send text messages to coordinate. http://maps.google.c...74&z=12&iwloc=A Shell…
- Riding up to Mt.Baker Last nights Mt Baker run was great. It threatened rain at various times but we never got wet. At the top of Mt Baker it was pretty chilly (48F). Then I decided to take a slow ride up to Artist's Point and that was…
- Riding up to Mt.Baker I am heading up Thursday at 4pm if you're interested. Sunday is a possibility but it would have to be later. I live in White Rock BC so it's easy for me to cross the border.
- How far can I ride in 7-8 days? Rather than miles focus on time. Make sure you leave by 8am and stop for the day at 5pm (or 6pm). Some days you will want to stop a take more pictures than others. Some days you will want to make some distance. On the…
- RR Failure Again is there any cure for this? The best solution to this problem is to get rid of the VFR. Alot of us would be happier without it! Myself included! I am always going through electrical issues...

- vfr1200 vs bmwk1200s I am also very interested in this comparison. I know a k1200s or k1300s will be my next bike but since I have had a VFR for so long I am somewhat interested in what it has to offer.
- VFRD Thank You So Much I love it when a plan comes together! HS you are very deserving of all this. While I am sure it feels strange to accept all this generosity... just enjoy it!!! VFRD has really helped me out with my VFR ownership. I…
- PP/PR2 combo mileage I am just about to change my PP front and PR2 rear. I have 7500+ miles on both tires. I do mainly half day rides and distance rides and keep the tires air pressure to what it says on the tire. Not sure what happened to…
- 6th Gen & soft saddlebags I used a tailbag along with my saddle bags. The only way I found it worked was mounting the saddled bags ONTO the tail bag. Sounds strange but it really worked well. I did a 5000kms trip with it and it worked far…
- Continuing voltage issues with my VFR Yep, blew a fuse! Found it, replaced it, and she started up just fine. The new wire direct from the RR to the battery made a huge difference! I put the brand new Honda OEM RR in and I read 13.5 volts direct to the…
- Continuing voltage issues with my VFR Just went through this process and when we started up the bike for the first time it would not even turn over. So we went back to original setup and it would still not turn over. We did nothing and now the bike won't…
- Continuing voltage issues with my VFR ah, NVR2L8 I see you have the best fix for VFR electronics issues... a K1300S!!! :cheerleader:

- Continuing voltage issues with my VFR It is an OEM stator. and will be putting in the new OEM RR this week. If I am still reading 15.5-15.7 then I will give TightWads VRFness a try. Eventually if I throw enough money at it, it should fix it. :goofy: Thanks…

- Continuing voltage issues with my VFR I have had ongoing electrical issues with my VFR for almost a year now. It has left me stranded on more than one occasion. Here is what I have done in the past. -Honda Factory Recall -New Stator -Complete overhaul of…
- Frame Sliders For A 2008 Vfr Skip the frame sliders and buy OEM hard bags. They will work much better than any frame sliders. Just like frame sliders, hardbags are not a guarantee they will protect the bike.
- How Necessary Is A Voltmeter? On one occasion my voltmeter saved me from being stranded hundreds of miles away. Instead I was almost able to make it back home. One of the best $50 I spent on my VFR. It is 100% necessary.
- Tire ? For The Unexperienced I run a Michelin Pilot Road 2 on the back and a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT on the front. At first they did not feel good together but after they were broken in they feel great. I wouldn't hesitate to have the stickier…
- Stator Tale Do not buy anything other than OEM Honda parts for this. It will save you ALOT of time and grief. It's a VFR thing with the stator and RR. It woulnd't be an issue but most VFR owners like having the heated grips, gps,…
- Vfr Will Have Dual Clutch / 3 Types Of Shifting Are we sure this isn't the new ST1300???
- What Is A 2005 Vfr Worth? Just sell it all together. Your VFR would be more appealing than other VFRs without bags. Always try to have the most appealing listing versus other VFRs for sale. It's a pain to sell different parts mind you bags would…
- Thinking About Looking At A 2002 Viffer On Monday I just got over some serious electrical issues with my 2004 VFR so I wouldn't recommend a 2002-2005 VFR. Try to stick to 2006 and newer. The frustration is not worth the money saved. Now I have worked out the electrical…
- Semi Auto Gearbox With the dozen or so models they have sold on the DN01, I highly doubt this automatic tranny will be on the road soon. With all this specualtion and hype the new VFR can be nothing but a disappointment. Even then it is…
- Vtec Recall Wiring Schematic jeremy556 The VFR is a good bike, just has a couple issues, like wiring. I doubt you will find any bike that doesn't have issues. If you are able to fix your wiring problem, you will likely be trouble free from here on…
- Vtec Recall Wiring Schematic billyjackjimbob I have what happens without the fix.... So why on earth would you buy another VFR? Those are some crazy pictures. I just want to get my vfr fixed. Make sure everything is ok (run it for 300miles) and…
- Vtec Recall Wiring Schematic Does anyone have a wiring schematic for North American VFRs? Specifically a 2004 VFR. :fing02: I am having electrical issues big time. I am about one step away from lighting a match and walking away.
- I Bought A New Interceptor get a voltmeter right away!!!! The electrical issues will haunt you forever!!! :blink:
