  1. Need to get my wife in the saddle 29 Apr 2012 00:14 Yamaha FZ6R - it's perfect for what you're talking about. If you can find one they even came it Pearl White with pink and black graphics the first year. A bit over 70hp and very linear. Full fairing, but upright seating…
  2. Member Down and in ICU 1 Dec 2011 16:11 [image: View Post]Rice, on 01 December 2011 - 10:19 AM, said: Card sent. Ditto...
  3. Honda Cross-Tourer 7 Nov 2011 16:11 Given the amount of internal Honda chatter about this bike, I think we are likely to see it here in the US. I'm in if it comes - ready for something I can put major single-day miles on. Love my VFR, but just can't get…
  4. Is the VFR 800 the ideal bike for me with a passenger ? 12 Apr 2011 01:11 2-up on a VFR800...Yeah, no problem at all...
  5. Bike-specific exercises? 28 Mar 2011 22:31 Kettle bell swings (Google it) and Myotatic crunches twice a week. Moderate weight training once a week. One thing that has improved my comfort on the bike more than anything else is Hip Flexor Stretches - I do them…
  6. 6th gear 20 Mar 2011 16:24 [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 13 April 2010 - 05:03 AM, said: I can't be the only one that doesn't pay attention to what gear I'm in... I just keep the bike around 5k for cruising - and row the box for "cruise…
  7. VFR plastic reconstruction 11 Mar 2011 00:44 Anybody want to view some photos? That, sir, is a silly question. Of course we want pics!
  8. 06 VTEC 22 Jan 2011 01:45 vfr_steve, on 21 January 2011 - 04:35 AM, said: Thanks, in person the colours draws you in like a magnet very beauitful - so it's pretty smooth on yours? Yeah, the color is dead-damn-sexy. It is, in my opinion of…
  9. 06 VTEC 21 Jan 2011 01:25 It's the right color and everything! I say go for it... Love my '07, and the transition has never bothered me. Only time I notice it (other than the change in intake howl) is if I intentionally power through it very,…
  10. Bike Ergonomic Web App 10 Nov 2010 11:21 [image: View Post]EldoradoBill, on 09 November 2010 - 11:10 PM, said: This is amazing. There is now has version 2.0 up and running. I put in my height, inseam and arm angle, and filled in the new data field for age and…

  12. CrossViffer? 9 Nov 2010 22:01 [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 09 November 2010 - 02:10 PM, said: It's a VTEC with new clothing... Crossdresser. :laughing6-hehe: :blink: :ohmy: :laughing6-hehe: :owned:
  13. Bike Ergonomic Web App 7 Nov 2010 12:04 A guy from one of the other bike forums I frequent built this little web app so you can check out how a bike would fit you. You can put in your height, inseam, etc and see how a bike will roughly fit you. You can even…
  14. Why do you post on VFRD 7 Nov 2010 11:51 I forgot to add in my earlier post: I've never been lambasted for my stupid questions about wrenching on the bike. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, but I'm trying to learn and if you can't find it through…
  15. Crossrunner Video 7 Nov 2010 10:32 I like the commercial and the bike. If Honda brought it here I'd be a serious player for one. The ergonomics are what I've been trying to do to my 6th Gen since I got it... Want to have a V4; want true all-day comfort;…
  16. Question for the more Mechanically Inclined 6 Nov 2010 18:18 [image: View Post]DDO-VFR, on 06 November 2010 - 11:33 AM, said: I know, I know, :offtopic: , but it sounds like you are a prime candidate for the new CrossRunner, styling issues aside... :happy: Brian Oh, I know - if…
  17. Question for the more Mechanically Inclined 6 Nov 2010 18:16 [image: View Post]Monk, on 06 November 2010 - 11:25 AM, said: One thing to look for when re-routing is that even though it looks better while the forks are straight, the cables could hit on the out side of the natual…
  18. Question for the more Mechanically Inclined 6 Nov 2010 15:58 [image: View Post]Monk, on 06 November 2010 - 10:46 AM, said: I assume you have, but have you turned lock to lock to check the tightness? Yeah, I have - there's still slack in all the lines where the bars sit right now.…
  19. Deer Whistles 6 Nov 2010 14:48 [image: View Post]PolarBear, on 05 November 2010 - 11:20 PM, said: This thread is getting funnier by the minute. Anyone drinking?? Midnight on a Friday - better question would probably have been: "Anyone not drinking?"…
  20. Question for the more Mechanically Inclined 6 Nov 2010 14:38 I've tweaked my 6th gen to almost perfect comfort with BLS lowering blocks and Heli bars. I want the bars higher, and have even considered an LSL Superbike mod to raise the bars a bit more. I have the Helis sitting 1/4…
  21. Why do you post on VFRD 5 Nov 2010 10:15 I frequent a number of forums, but this one - for me - has the right mix of fun/serious, mature/immature, relevance/irrelevance. I think I've yet to see a flame war (even in the oil threads) and the knowledge and wisdom…
  22. What a crap-hole. 3 Nov 2010 17:24 Hate moles - everytime it rains in the summer I have to scoop one or two carcases out of my swimming pool. I guess they come up for air and wander blindly into it.... They also cause my Bassett to dig holes in the yard…
  23. Can't believe I rode my bike! 2 Nov 2010 16:32 Sweet Sweet bike! And that sound is just awesome!
  24. Motorcycling Retirement Threads 2 Nov 2010 01:04 I know where you're coming from, and yeah you can't help but feel a certain sense of foreboding when you read those threads. We all know the risks involved in motorcycling, and these guys are making decisions that are…

  26. So will The CrossRunner be VFRD worthy? 28 Oct 2010 23:51 [image: View Post]BonusVFR, on 28 October 2010 - 06:41 PM, said: I would like some rough and dirt (in a pinch) road capability too. But I do not want to put crash bars on ....like my KLR. Wish I wasn't so smitten with…
  27. So will The CrossRunner be VFRD worthy? 28 Oct 2010 23:12 105-115 horses are enough for me, especially if it's lighter than the 6th gen Viffer. If it comes to the states, I will be an early adopter on this one. Hell, it's what I've been trying to do to my VFR since I got it:…
  28. Peg Lowering Blocks 28 Oct 2010 10:30 It really is amazing what an inch here or and inch there will do for the comfort of the bike! With these installed and the Helibars in place the bike is waaaaay more comfortable. About a week after I installed the Helis…
  29. So will The CrossRunner be VFRD worthy? 27 Oct 2010 23:04 [image: View Post]kostritzer, on 27 October 2010 - 05:11 PM, said: It seems to me that this bike will be aimed more at the Triumph Tiger and V-strom type of bike, not the more off road GS series. If that picture is…
  30. 8th gen might not be far off 27 Oct 2010 20:31 Honda claims: "This mid-range machine is an exciting new approach � a crossover machine that represents the best aspects of two separate biking genres. It will have the flexibility and exciting attitude of a Naked…
  31. 8th gen might not be far off 27 Oct 2010 20:19 [image: View Post]elizilla, on 27 October 2010 - 01:17 PM, said: I don't mind the giant exhaust. This type of can seems to be the fashion, lately, and once people get used to it they'll stop hating on it. I don't need…
  32. 8th gen might not be far off 27 Oct 2010 17:48 Why, oh why are those Hindenburg sized exhaust cans en vogue? And why do they have to put it right over the wheel, hiding the uber-cool SSSA look? Still interested, though we'll probably never see it stateside...
  33. Multistrada 1200 23 Oct 2010 02:41 [image: View Post]sfarson, on 22 October 2010 - 08:48 PM, said: [image: View Post]jaimev34, on 22 October 2010 - 06:22 PM, said: I don't know about that. At $20K+, few people will experience its "game-changiness."…
  34. Oops, I did it again. 22 Oct 2010 10:04 Man, if I weren't halfway around the world I'd certainly swing by and see you! Glad you made it out breathing and with your wits still about you! I know this is no consolation, but as Neil Peart said in Ghost Rider: "If…
  35. Multistrada 1200 21 Oct 2010 14:26 [image: View Post]elevation, on 21 October 2010 - 08:34 AM, said: 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…
  36. Multistrada 1200 21 Oct 2010 09:38 [image: View Post]MaineRider, on 20 October 2010 - 09:19 PM, said: Lastly, pray that any electronic gremlins appear before the warranty expires because when you go to start that bike up the dash looks like the Space…
  37. Multistrada 1200 21 Oct 2010 01:56 While the new Ducati Multistrada 1200 is being marketed as an adventure bike, its lack of true off-road capability excludes it form the R1200GS club. But every road test and review I read proclaims it to be perhaps the…
  38. Good Riding Technique Books 20 Oct 2010 14:39 [image: View Post]FalseFiction1, on 17 October 2010 - 10:12 PM, said: I'm making my way through Lee Parks' Total Control and am impressed so far. Same here - good stuff and explained in a way that even I can understand…

  40. So will The CrossRunner be VFRD worthy? 18 Oct 2010 23:49 The bike - a big and hearty YES! The color scheme - No No No... Even if they build it, what are the odds it will come here? I wouldn't bet on it...
  41. 8th gen might not be far off 17 Oct 2010 12:51 If they are aiming at the Multistrada, I am so in. I want one in a bad way, but just can't bring myself to risk the reliability and maintenance costs of a Duc... Seriously, Honda - you've got a buyer right here! Bring…

  43. The tale of the tail....(long post)... 13 Oct 2010 10:23 I've visited that shop a few times - the whole team there is truly excellent - and they understand the meaning of customer service! I'm having them do a custom seat for my wife's FZ6R in a few weeks, and the price I was…
  44. Pre-load shifting on a 6th Gen 30 Sep 2010 22:59 This technique is explained in great detail in Lee Parks' Total Control - and it has increased the smoothness of my shifting immeasurably. A "must read" for any motorcyclist as far as I'm concerned. How it is explained…
  45. Questions from a new VFR owner 28 Sep 2010 23:25 [image: View Post]MorfiusX, on 27 September 2010 - 07:20 PM, said: just wanted to make sure it will last me a while given that it already has 30k on it. So it may be broken in now - no worries on the mileage if it was…
  46. Questions from a new VFR owner 27 Sep 2010 23:07 Congrats on the new bike and welcome to the fray! I don't know a thing about the 4th gens other than I like 'em. And of course, the best (and fastest) color is Crimson Tide Red I'm sure, however, at least one other…
  47. New VFR owner 13 Sep 2010 01:01 Can't wait to see it... hint, hint...... :beatdeadhorse:
  48. Mick Hoy Around the World Journey 12 Sep 2010 21:00 If you make it to Jacksonville, Florida you've got a place to stay, food to eat and all the beer you care to drink... Good luck in South America!
  49. Helibars vs. Genmar Riser 31 Aug 2010 12:40 Pulled the trigger on the Heli's this morning! Thanks for the tip BailyRock - hadn't really considered the advantage of the rearward shift of the Heli's until you mentioned it (I was thinking the rearward shift of the…
  50. Helibars vs. Genmar Riser 30 Aug 2010 20:49 I've had Genmars on my '07 for nearly a year now, and really like the difference in comfort they have made. Since riding my wife's new FZ6R with a more upright seating position I'm really considering moving to the…
