  1. Vtech Behaviour 19 Jul 2015 20:55 Yea, unfortunately with the 6th gen right at vtec engagement there is actually a dip in both torque and power. If you roll through the engagement rpm slowly (partial throttle) it can actually seem like a noticeable…
  2. Laminar Lip Feed Back/replacement Mirrors? 23 Jun 2015 01:36 MaxSwell Another option: Givi (Giviusa.com) makes a touring windscreen for the sixth gen $123. http://www.giviusa.com/my-motorcycle/honda/vfr800-v-tec-02-11 I've used the touring windscreen on all my fifth gens as well…
  3. Engine Mounts And Vibration 19 Jun 2015 15:48 Interesting this season I picked up a similar vibration, get it when riding above 75-80 mph and when engine revs are high. Though it was wheel balancing but when I pull the clutch in and revs drop it goes away. Mine is…
  4. 2198 Miles Through The Alps 19 Oct 2014 03:27 Fabulous report. First time I've seen mc group led by sheep. ;) I've been led by cattle in Oregon, Bison in Yellowstone... but this was the first time by sheep!
  5. Downsides To Gutting? Tuning, Etc. 21 Aug 2014 01:45 Same here. Fully gutted by cutting ends off, ripping everything out and reweld caps. Did this 18,500 miles and 3 years ago. Bike runs perfect, 42-43 MPG, not an issue and sounds like a V4 should. In my experience…
  6. 2198 Miles Through The Alps 19 Aug 2014 04:42 Awesome video! Now as far as missing your VFR, were you still missing it on those roads less traveled? I.e. Unpaved stuff or did the GS seem better suited for those? That definitely look like a great trip! Thanks for…
  7. 2198 Miles Through The Alps 18 Aug 2014 21:26 Not exactly on a VFR, but every mile I rode I was wishing for my VFR!! [video: https://youtube.com/embed/skYvUYdZEZ0?html5=1&fs=1] After my ride cross country and back last year on the VFR, the 4 of us were itching for…

  9. VFR800 Redline Speeds in each Gear 2 Mar 2011 22:18 I just picked up a new leftover 2008 VFR800 Abs and after putting 400 miles on it in 3 days one of the things I was curious about was the max speed in each gear with stock gearing and tires. I tried searching a couple…
  10. Leftover 6th Gen: Where to find and how much? 27 Jan 2011 04:22 [image: View Post]Toast, on 26 January 2011 - 11:16 PM, said: If you check eBay, often times dealers will list their leftover models. You could possibly bid for the amount you're willing to pay even though they…
  11. Leftover 6th Gen: Where to find and how much? 27 Jan 2011 03:38 I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a 6th gen after drooling for 8 years. Ideally I want a brand new leftover with ABS. I'm willing to travel pretty much anywhere on the east coast to pick it up. Have searched…

  17. Pictures Of 09 Vfr? 2 Jun 2009 22:42 I haven't been able to find a single photo of a 2009 VFR in its all black scheme other than the boring official Honda photo. Has anyone bought one yet and taken any photos? Thanks
  18. Grab Bars Wear Down Paint On Plastic? 8 Oct 2008 14:43 I went to check out an 02 yesterday, and the bike was in great condition except for this: the owner had removed the two black passenger grab bars, and the paint on plastic just below were the grab bars would be was…
  19. What To Check For When Buying An 02? 4 Oct 2008 15:16 Thanks for all the help on my related post about the price of an 02. Now that I'm going to check the bike out I wanted to get some advice for exactly what to look for, especially things to help negotiating the price.…

  23. Is This 02 A Good Deal? 3 Oct 2008 02:06 I found an 02 red viffer with 8700 miles. Non-ABS, fully stock, seller states it is very clean. I wanted an ABS model, and I wanted hard bags, but the owner is asking $4700 and says there is room to move lower. He says…
