All 21- Trying something different Please post a review after you've ridden it a bit. I've always been interested in them and would like to hear what you think of it compared to the VFR.
- Going to Moto GP at Laguna Seca this year It's definately worth going. I went in 07 and 09 and had tickets for this year but I am expecting a kid in early June so I gave them to family. I had tickets to the grandstand on the front straight which is nice because…
- Linked Brakes I have to ammend my previous griping about the linked brake system on the 6th gen. After scrubbing the pads (EBC HH) and rotors, they are just what the doctor ordered. :fing02: I now have good feel in the lever and…

- Linked Brakes From what I've read and experienced, the LBS is better than I will ever be able to duplicate on my own with a conventional setup. Yet, I still have a beef with the system. It's heavy. I know it isn't much when observed…
- Love and Hate of the VFR I happen to like all the banter between owners and supporters of different makes/models. Every bike has some redeaming quality, even a Harley. And, every bike has something that could be better, even a Desmosedici. The…
- 6th Gen Custom Exhaust That looks great :fing02: I don't suppose you'd be able to post a sound file?
- Man, I like the White VFR1200. [image: View Post]Baileyrock, on 09 December 2009 - 12:17 PM, said: Looks great in this pic that's featured on the home page! :fing02: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1259820705/gallery_5310_4453_33597.jpg…
- If not a 7th Gen, why not a CBR1000 then? It's a very good question. The thought has certainly crossed my mind. I kind of figure I'll cross that bridge when my 02 takes a dump, which hopefully won't be anytime soon but it does have over 55k on it. As it stands…
- VFR1200F at Long Beach Show [image: View Post]JTG, on 04 December 2009 - 04:31 PM, said: I will have to do that then... ... that is to say "sit on the bike" Didn't someone else start a thread for the Long Beach show? Where did it go? I didn't see…
- VFR1200F at Long Beach Show I just walked through the Long Beach show while they were setting up. I paid special attention to Honda and observed that the VFR1200 is on the floor and not surrounded by ropes. They also have an 09 set up right next…
- $15,999 Base MSRP Confirmed..... Even if the bike is worth $15k, that's just too rich for my blood. I'll be moving on to a Sprint ST or FZ1 after my 6th gen dies. Perhaps when the 1200 is 6 years old, I'll be able to get one.

- 6th G Vs Ducati Mts? I have a Multistrada 620 and it has been my favorite bike of any that I've owned. I wish I had gotten the 1000 but money was an issue at the time (this was before the 1100). I was able to ride the Multi through tight…
- Remus Exhaust Question Blasted!!! You must be bidding on ebay. I'm watching the carbon cans that end on Monday. I've seen and heard the remus setup on a Ducati Multistrada 620 and they're quality. They don't have a removable baffle like…
- My Shinko Experiment Thanks for continueing to update.
- High Milage Concerns? [image: View Post]danielvfr, on Aug 9 2009, 06:31 AM, said: I got my 03' 7 months ago with 60,000 miles on it. Had to change front bearings, and thats it. Its in great condition. Thanks Daniel. I'm looking at one with…

- High Milage Concerns? Thanks guys. Jeremy, mind if I asked approximately how much you spent sorting those items? The bike is an 02' and looks good for it's age and milage but it's hard to tell in low res pics.
- High Milage Concerns? I'm in the process of shopping for a 6th gen and have come across a bike with 50K miles on it. My question is, are there any issues that arise on a machine with that many miles? I'm not too concerned about the function…
