  1. MotoGP 2018... (might include spoliers) 29 Aug 2018 17:12 Good luck simulating the conditions. To schedule a MotoGP rider, on a MotoGP machine, while it is raining, would take keeping a GP bike at the circuit, and a rider on call. Never going to happen. The blame of this…
  2. Nicky Hayden in serious accident in Italy 22 May 2017 21:46 Very sad. Hurts when you've met them many times. Always talked to him and his brothers at the races. Very down to Earth, all 3, and Earl. Feels like when Marco passed. I had just spoken to him several months earlier.…

  5. Bringing your vfr 1200 indoors?(for the winter) 10 Nov 2016 21:36 If I didn't have a garage I would.
  6. 1200 test ride? 10 Nov 2016 21:35 Think 800 but it handles way better with a better and more confidence inspiring front end,, has way more HP and Torque, much better brakes, feels heavier only at parking lot speed, and a crappier exhaust note. It's a…
  7. NEVER STOP LEARNING 1 Nov 2016 19:24 Thank you for your service. Always check for a banana in your tail pipe :D
  8. Why Did Suzuki and Honda Choose a Screamer vs Crossplane Crank Engine 14 Oct 2016 19:03 Yamaha have proven the crossplane design with 4 championships for Valentino Rossi, three for Jorge Lorenzo, all going against Hondaand Ducati V4's.. If they choose to use in GP then it works, and very well. Lets not…
  9. CBR1000RR SP and SP2 8 Oct 2016 23:29 Rogue_Biker, 10/7/2016 at 11:34 AM Aprilia lists the RSV4 as 398 lbs. dry, but Motorcycle.com measured its wet weight at 456 lbs. To compare, the CBR1000RR SP weighs 441 and the R1 is 442 wet. Ok the Aprilia is not a…
  10. CBR1000RR SP and SP2 7 Oct 2016 15:53 Rogue_Biker, 10/6/2016 at 10:34 AM Well, they can achieve everything with an I-4. Why go with more complicated V4 when you can get the same with a simpler I-4? If V4's were superior, everyone would be using it. Well,…
  11. CBR1000RR SP and SP2 7 Oct 2016 15:37 Rogue_Biker, 10/5/2016 at 2:48 PM Well, as much as I love my VFR's V4 engine, I have to admit I kind of understand Honda's resistance in giving us a modern, high volume, V4 sport bike. V4's are notoriously heavy due to…
  12. CBR1000RR SP and SP2 5 Oct 2016 19:30 52 minutes ago, RC36Rider I'd like to know if there is a single advantage to Ti in this application . I can't think of one. I can, marketing.
  13. Ducati Supersport 5 Oct 2016 15:16 Wow, didn't expect this.
  14. CBR1000RR SP and SP2 5 Oct 2016 15:12 9 hours ago, BusyLittleShop Mercy Ari, the gas tank is aluminum not titanium... I'm not the only one disappointed Honda didn't ante up an affordable race bred V4 like the CEO talked about... Big time disappointment here…
  15. Nicky Finally Going To Wsbk 5 Oct 2016 15:07 Wow, an inline 4 again.. almost unbelievable.
  16. Lets dream a bit 30 Sep 2016 19:14 I'm already at that amount. VFR1200, Crossplane R1, Zuma 125. I want a 1299s, which would blow the $ amount out of the water :(
  17. Decatting VFR1200 2010 30 Sep 2016 17:38 No more noise IMO. If it added any db's they are negligible. I removed the cat, welded a SS piece in place (Mechanic did it for me), then got my 1200 dyno tuned, and auto tune added. Pulls like a raped ape.
  18. Returning Rider: VFR 800 or 1200? 22 Sep 2016 20:22 MsRN98, 9/20/2016 at 10:14 PM A few updates: I've contacted the owners of the galaxy black '06, the silver '03, and a 'stock' '98 ('00 mirrors). First, the '06. The only concession to mods is a Delkevic exhaust; he…

  21. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 29 Aug 2016 01:02 Helibars and put the weights back on. Flash the ECU also. Love the RC. [image: 8315c9b6df1ccfc16f7fdecdf0c95e58_zps9b01]
  22. MBD finally got me 11 Aug 2016 18:16 St. Stephen, 7/26/2016 at 1:10 PM Leanit, a belated thanks for the list. But you forgot the most important and effective performance mod: the addition of an HRC sticker! 15/41 gearing is at the top--I finally shifted…
  23. MBD finally got me 6 Jul 2016 19:18 When you can, the minimal list: 15/41 gearing Kyle Racing Clip Ons (raises them up an inch and out an inch) New Seat Ohlins Rear Kyle Racing dogbone Kyle racing modified front forks Slip-ons and a tune Remove soft…
  24. "official" Hog Tie 2016 - Sep 23-26 2016 29 Jun 2016 20:25 Yokel, 6/26/2016 at 4:21 PM Bad news. I lost my job in April. I'm having to sell the VFR. Just the facts of life. With that said, I will have to call off for the Hog Tie this year. Maybe after I get another bike over…
  25. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 17 May 2016 16:39 Bubba Gump in Monterey is a must. Get a margarita and you keep the plastic. The ride from Monterey/Carmel to Big Sur is fantastic. Watch the cliffs and decreasing radius corners.
  26. wow... RIP Michael Czysz 10 May 2016 14:24 RIP and thank you for the contribution to motorcycling.
  27. Way to go Toni Elías! 3 May 2016 15:20 22 hours ago, Lorne Hmm, you might want to watch a few more races, mate. For example, when Edwards & Bayliss battled it out for the race-win and the championship at the September 2002 World Superbike finale at Imola.…
  28. Way to go Toni Elías! 2 May 2016 15:18 JZH, 5/1/2016 at 4:58 AM I didn't even know he was racing in the 'States! The guy's MotoGP career wasn't brilliant, but he did win the first Moto2 championship (in 2010), so he is clearly a very talented racer. (Lorenzo…
  29. Is It Irresponsible To Ride A Motorcycle As A Parent? 29 Mar 2016 15:29 jhenley17 I have life insurance. Also, I bought a VFR over an R1. . I have both, and both make the same RWHP more or less. The bike underneath you matters not, it's all about the idiot behind the bars in the saddle, and…
  30. Impressions Of The Vfr After 1000 Miles 16 Mar 2016 15:39 The 1200 is a whale and does not resemble its heritage. The bike shouldn't be bagged as a VFR. How does it qualify as a VFR with its shaft drive, 61 inch wheel base, 600 lbs weight? It is should have been named the VFR…
  31. Tire Rebates 2016 ($40 Pirelli, $50 Metzeler, $40 Dunlop) 15 Mar 2016 05:49 thanx for posting. IMO never hurts to post up as some may not have seen earlier posts.If anyone hears of another B'stone rebate...please post up.thanx,mark Please! I'm sold on the S20 Front/T30 rear combo. Getting to…
  32. Lifts Abba Vs Bursig 15 Mar 2016 05:46 The best price I found in the US for the Bursig with the wheels and the VFR 1200 adaptor was around $580 delivered. Although not priced in the US on any site I found the Abba skylift for most other bikes go for just…
  33. I Hate These F#$King Fairings. 10 Mar 2016 17:25 Arguably, you don't get a lot of motorcycle for the money though, do you. It's basically a bog standard bike with ABS. Every last drop of optional equipment (which most argue should be standard) is so over inflated that…
  34. Second Bike To Complement Mine? 9 Mar 2016 20:00 Pan 1299s :D
  35. I Hate These F#$King Fairings. 9 Mar 2016 19:57 Luckily, there is not much reason to take those fairings off frequently. The only reason I can think of now is the coolant change which I just did. I can tell you this, I will actually pay someone to do it next time…
  36. Time To Say Goodbye... 4 Mar 2016 16:56 Two big jugs are better than 4 small ones :goofy: I can think of all kinds of exceptions to this one. And not just motorcycle engines, either. It was a joke, banter, and having fun. It's a saying the twin guys have said…
  37. Engine Heat Poll 4 Mar 2016 16:54 My bike is modified (Ohlins Rear, revalved and resprung forks, flashed ECU, Full exhaust with no cat, tuned) and either stock or modified, heat was never something I've experienced, thought about, etc. I always ride in…
  38. Time To Say Goodbye... 2 Mar 2016 22:21 The Multi strikes again. It's gotten a lot of folks over the past several years. Duck shop is 2 miles from my house and the 1299s is calling my name, bad. I've resisted thus far but I don't know how long I can hold out.…
  39. Looks Like Bein For Tv 25 Feb 2016 02:22 Just paid for my online membership with WSBK. $69 for the year. All the practices, qualifying, interviews, races, etc! I get the same membership for MotoGP.
  40. Repair parts OEM accessories - found them! 16 Feb 2016 20:11 If someone can tell me a part number or a way to get the little plastic covers that go on the rear carrier I'm all ears. I'm missing one and need it.
  41. Austin Moto Gp 10 Feb 2016 22:29 I'd buy a general admission for the main grandstand seat. It's the only portion of the seating of the track, that is covered, unless you pay for a suite ($$$$). April is notorious for heavy showers in TX. So far we've…
  42. Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts 19 Jan 2016 16:21 Received recall in the mail on Saturday. Called dealer today and they are ordering the parts for me. Requested my tech that I've used for 15 years. No big deal at all.
  43. Oil Interval And Filter Question 13 Jan 2016 18:11 Replace both every year.
  44. 12Oclocklabs Speedodrd 4 Jan 2016 18:32 Thanks for reminding me. I think I still have one of these nib that I never used and need to sell.
  45. Motogp 2016 Season....with Spoilers 24 Dec 2015 16:42 Switchblade $8.99 on Ebay . For you Rossi lovers . What is it with you and Rossi? Geez man, almost childlike. I understand liking Honda but no need to put the tramp stamp on.
  46. 2017 Rvf1000 V4 23 Dec 2015 01:26 Mattie660 Fireblade is tricky one to beat. I read that in 2014 one third of all sales of sports bikes over 1000 cc were Honda Fireblades, and at the end of the day it is about sales. Umm, no. Not a chance in hell. BMW…
  47. 2017 Rvf1000 V4 10 Dec 2015 16:13 Shinigami I've been seeing articles like this for each of the past ten years. Anyone remember the "spy photos" of the V5 VFR back in 2004? Or other stories about a 5 cylinder or V4 Fireblade? Speculating that there will…
  48. Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts 7 Dec 2015 21:00 Not concerned. Will get the work done before Spring.
  49. New Fz1 With Crossplane Engine 19 Nov 2015 22:31 So since 2009, I've always wished for Yamaha to stick that engine in a more upright naked setup... and now that they've done it, I can't say I like the looks of it. Here's hoping they apply the XSR retro look treatment…
  50. New Fz1 With Crossplane Engine 19 Nov 2015 18:57 Heard they were sticking the crossplane in it. Sure looks Transformer-ish. http://www.asphaltan...6-yamaha-mt-10/
