Last 50 of 142- How many motorcycles have you owned? BusyLittleShop, 9/21/2025 at 4:38 PM 1965... First bike I purchased was a Honda S90 at Bar-B Marina... [image: 265319429_72248cf6bc_b.jpg] 1965... Honda S-90... I'd wake up in the morning and just ride... anywhere was…
- it's been 1015 days since I last rode my VFR fabio222, 8/26/2025 at 5:37 AM Nice NT700! I have a similar(ish) collection - sixth gen VFR 800, fourth gen VFR 750, and an NT700V (Deauville over here). Nice bikes you have there 😂. The Deauville is a bike I’ve always…

- Vtec Shock Options My vfr is still riding on its stock suspension, good to know about a new shock option.
- Steve Rapp’s VF1000R and 8th Gen VFR800 I just saw a guy on one today in Southern California. I was on my red ‘07 when a rider pulled next me and complemented my bike and I did a double take when I saw the rider on what looked like a modern vf1000r, he said…
- Any luck with Slip-on imports to California? I wouldn’t worry about it to much, no one cares about a quiet slip on even here in So Cal.
- Any luck with Slip-on imports to California? The really loud HD’s were specifically called out and with lighted signs saying literally loud HD exhaust will not be tolerated and backed up by heavy enforcement in the Palos Verde area, those rich folks living by the…
- Bar risers revisited. I currently have the cnc-moto risers on my 6th gen and they do work out pretty well. I have seen and been tempted by the “Hurricane” handle bar kit from Webbike. It’s a nice kit with holes predrilled in the handlebar…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Dutchy, 1/16/2022 at 10:30 AM Riving ban???? Did you get caught doing 130MPH "on a dark desert highway"??? 130 is merging speed to get on the freeway in the city of Los Angeles. No I was supposed to have surgery a year…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Put my CGR ‘07 on a tender, no riding or driving for 8 weeks.
- Maybe sport tourers are not Dead? Love the new Suzuki 1000 GT, lighter than a non abs 07 vfr 800, more power/ torque, adjustable suspension, ride modes, cruise control, traction control, ABS, nice dash that you can synch your phone to, led lighting,…
- Brand new 2015 Congratulations on your new machine. VFR’s have never been fast sellers, I purchased my ‘07 new in June 2009 after Honda officially lowered the price to ~ $7,500. Nothing was selling during those recession/depression…
- Random photo thread - anything goes - post what you've got I was always curious about the NT/ Deauville after seeing them on the roads when visiting the UK. Found this one three years ago and had to have it because I’m a sucker for euro Honda’s.
- Random photo thread - anything goes - post what you've got I use this one for when I absolutely positively need to get somewhere quickly.
- Random photo thread - anything goes - post what you've got These pictures are from last Sunday’s cruise around Los Angeles.
- Lowered Peg Questions - Brake Pedal Clearance Good to know you are still making the lowering blocks. I remember when I lived in Rancho Cordova I picked up my lowering blocks from you personally and got to visit your nice shop and see the RC45. Your lowering blocks…
- Lowered Peg Questions - Brake Pedal Clearance There was a member here..... BLS or Busy Little Shop that made aluminum lowering blocks for the 6th gen vfrs. I purchased a set ages ago with good results. I finally bought some 20mm risers for comfort just this year.…
- Top 7 dorkiest motorcycles..... Lol I love it! Dorky slow sellers are my specialty. I picked up my new ‘07 Vfr in 2009 and my ‘08 Bking in 2011 during the last depression. Latest bike is the slowest, a 2011 NT700VA bought new in 2018 ‘cause I always…
- The stages of motorcycle ownership I enjoy the oem appearance of my bikes and only have bolt on mods for comfort and utility. My ‘07 vfr was bought new in 2009 and the only mod was the installation of BLS lowering blocks. My ‘08 Bking wears a national…
- New member, thinking of a VFR I bought a NT700 2 years ago to keep my 07 vfr and a Suzuki Bking company. I think you will enjoy the smooth refined feeling of the vfr. It feels much smaller and lighter than the NT, nicer suspension, and so freakishly…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump 1 hour ago, AndyE I'll certainly try Legend! Unfortunately, Mrs E wanted new carpet so had to put the multimeter down and pick up the stanley knife instead this afternoon so no further forward yet. Hopefully I can get…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Congratulations on choosing a nice all around riding machine. It’s a used 16 year old used bike so there will be something that needs attention. Definitely check stator and regulator but ground issues and a burned…
- RWB Farewell tour That Kat looks nice.
- Say it isn't so! BusyLittleShop, 2/23/2020 at 11:34 AM Negative the problem was not cams but cam bearing blocks... Honda's great cam shaft crisis was the result of a factory cost cutting measure... they choose to mill the cam bearing…
- Say it isn't so! Honda tried the v4 thing big time in the 80’s but early failures with the cams on the vf750f combined with the relentless development of the I-4 platform by Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki caused the v4 to not be the next…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Dutchy, 1/5/2020 at 3:16 AM A Suzuki? Lets heat up the tar and pluck some feathers..... 😎 Lol the vfr is running great now and is a blast to ride but now that my wife is finally back to work I might snatch up one of…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Went to the Honda shop to visit my ‘07 which is waiting for a new right side switch. The bike started acting funky and stopped running while on a busy Los Angeles freeway two weeks ago and had to be towed 30 some miles.…
- Loss of Power during VTEC transition 2 hours ago, Bent No problem here, ever on two VTEC VFR's. The argument that VTEC doesn't belong on bikes has gone on at least 8 million times now. It just doesn't matter any longer.... Adapt, adjust, and overcome. Well…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Took a great ride in the California sunshine. Beautiful day.
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Since the last attempt of bleeding my brakes and syncing starter valves ended with me and my buddy drinking heavily and hoping for the best so this time around I went to my local Honda Powersports dealer. Long story…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Ran a few errands before the rain hit and finally changed the oil and filter. New tires are next.
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Aired up the vfr’s tires, looked the bike over and took the NT700V for a ride. Vfr needs tires, the contimotions still have tread but the front has become super sensitive to pavement seems and irregularities. Time for a…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Aired up the tires, looked the bike over and went for a nice ride down the coast.
- Where does the manual go? iamausername, 6/3/2017 at 7:29 PM Hey, can you take a picture of it or tell me how you are supposed to put it back in / take it out? I cannot for the life of me seem to do it. Here ya go. Threw in a pic of the owners…
- Where does the manual go? Mine is still in the clear plastic case under the seat secured by those rubber things.
- Close out sales 14' and 15' Time has moved on, that 18 year old 5th gen might be hiding some nasty surprises. Another vote for getting the new deluxe, comes with a warranty, looks better, factory luggage option, factory bar risers available etc…
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer Just so many nice bikes out now with nice suspension, chassis, brakes, engines comfortable ergos....hard to nail down which one but the Goldwing F6B would be great for two up cruising around with tunes no less!!…
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! http://powersports.honda.com/total-price-massacre.aspx#cbr1000rr-2008 Things got so bad in 2009 Honda did a permanent price reduction on several models. Very few people were buying toys back then and bikes that were…
- Seriously thinking of selling my VFR :( Shinigami, 4/24/2017 at 1:48 PM Hmm. I've got a ruptured L5 disc and am ONLY completely comfortable on my VFR. Sitting upright is agony! That's gotta suck big time. Hopefully sitting up on a barstool at a pub is still…
- Seriously thinking of selling my VFR :( I've lowered the pegs on my vfr which I found to be very helpful but for me at 6 ft tall I find the bars just a bit to low for long term comfort. That being said I've stayed with the bike as is for years mainly because…
- Should dealers provide a bike setup service...? Definately some bad shops out there but to be fair there are some dealers with excellent mechanics that actually check over new bikes and do adjust suspension/controls for customers. The dealer where I bought my Suzuki…
- What kind of Oil/Filter do y'all use? Castrol semi-synthetic 10-40 and oem filter on both my bikes.
- Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read St. Stephen, 8/27/2016 at 8:44 PM I agree with your comments, except I have not experienced any vibration-related hand numbing. My 2010 has Heli Bars, you may want to check them out, not sure if they help with…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr [image: IMG_0261.JPG][image: IMG_0264.JPG]
- NEVER STOP LEARNING Great words to LIVE by.
- CBR1000RR SP and SP2 The 80's were Honda's magic v4 years, that is when they were sticking v4's into sportbikes, standards and cruisers. Nice machines but it seems historically Honda has had much better sales success with the I 4 engine. As…
- Why are VFR's so damn awesome Riding on Conti motions now, no issues at all. The suspension has lost that loving feeling so I'm ready to upgrade to get more awesomeness. Enjoy your ride.
- Changed the oil OMG! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/4d4d2bbd-5a1d-4f3d-939e-cb482c2b3cfe&ved=0ahUKEwjDnrasqKTOAhWEpYMKHRUGANYQtwIIHjAB&usg=AFQjCNEJLn2fvOzunL0lVir8NuxSK4Xzcg
- Suzuki GSX-S1000 My 07 vfr was purchased as a new leftover in 2009. Seven years later it has proven to be fairly reliable, a bad ground put in the shop but really nothing serious. Bike is stock with the exception of lowered footpegs.…
- Suzuki GSX-S1000 VFROZ, 6/26/2016 at 4:32 AM Dont take that as a known, from what I hear from trusted people, that suspension is very low brow, and really lets the bike down. For me, I could never take that home with such a pathetic…
