All 46- Crash protectors I've said this before, but I would not recommend frame sliders to anyone on this bike. I had these same R&G sliders on my first 2010 VFR1200F. I was t-boned by a car at slow speed and low sided with the bike sliding…
- Center Stand Or Pitbull? I don't really see the point of a Pitbull stand if you have or can get a much simpler to use center stand. Us 4th genners are lucky, We can remove the center stand and reinstall back, literally it in seconds (without…
- Need To Change A Tire, But Have No Stands... +1. I've almost dropped a bike on myself whilst changing a rear shock when I was younger. I did a similar ghetto 'rafter hang' job and I heard a cable coming loose while I was laying next to the bike working a bolt off…
- Vfr1200 2015 Wow nice!
- Need To Change A Tire, But Have No Stands... I hate center stands, especially on a sport bikes, so I bought the PitPulI rear stand. It was $180 shipped from sportbiketrackgear.com, which is $10 more than the dealer is charging you to take off a tire and you get a…
- How Do You Use Your Dct? Suzukijo, not to be presumptuous, but you can override any auto mode (D or S) by simply pressing the up or down paddles on the left. This will put you in manual mode immediately and in the next higher or lower gear, no…
- How Do You Use Your Dct? Suzukijo, I have owned both models. I use mine 99% of the time in manual mode. When I take it to the canyons on the weekends, I sometimes use S mode, but again mostly in manual mode. I think the dual clutch is tits and…
- Kabooom good bye VFR I agree with duchy 100%. I also need to point out two problems... 1. The groom is headed to divorce in that relationship. 2. That looks like they shot that at the end of the L.A. river. I donated my time and money to…
- Looking at a new 1200 DCT, Got ?'s Hi Crazybrother, I know you said you made your decision, but I thought I'd post my thoughts for anyone who reads this thread in the future. I have owned both models. My first VFR1200F was totaled when I was t-boned by a…
- Pit Bull stand purchased in or delivered to Europe ? I got my through sportbiketrackgear.com , but I had to email them because they don't list it on their website. I believe they ship internationally, so give them a email.
- Push starting a VFR1200F sucks Hey Fastspider, Doesn't the warranty cover the cost or pro rated cost of the battery?
- Long Term Owner's Report - DCT at 15000 miles I'm one of the few people which has owned a standard VFR12000F and currently a own DCT model. I can say I love the DCT more than the standard model. I ride mine exclusively in manual mode and never get tired of shifting…
- Mods to my bike You can buy the stand directly from pit bull or any pit bull dealer. I email Pit Bull directly and they gave me part number #PB F0086-000. I don't understand why it's not advertised anywhere. I ended up buying mine from…

- Front fairing removal how to and K&N install CHUCK2 Hopefully this isn't another one of my dumb questions, but why does HS refer to his bike as "veefalo"? A combination of VFR & Colorado? When the bike came out, a couple of euro magazines like Motociclismo of…

- Does the U.S. Version of the VFR1200F come with a tool kit??? My SV650 came with a pretty crappy set of tools too. I figured that I can put together a better kit anyway since the VFR1200R that I bought this morning didn't have tool kit either. :biggrin:
- Does the U.S. Version of the VFR1200F come with a tool kit??? Quick question... I looked under the seat of a VFR1200F at the dealer today. I noticed it didn't have a tool kit unlike the pictures posted on this forum by our European friends. Do we get a tool kit in the U.S.?

- What is everyone paying now that VFR1200f are available.... Here is a question for you guys in the U.S.A. that posted paying 13.5K-14K. Did you pay freight and prep on top of that price or just tax, Title and license on top of the price stated? The reason I ask is that I tried a…
- What is everyone paying now that VFR1200f are available.... Thanks for the input. It sounds like 13.5k-14k is a good price. One of the dealers in my area still wants $500 above MSRP plus tax and the usual b.s. fees. I'm going to try a powerhouse dealer 45 minutes south of L.A.…
- What is everyone paying now that VFR1200f are available.... I found dealer who let me do a test ride on a vfr1200f yesterday and I loved it. I don't get the haters, it is a sweet bike. I'm looking to pull the trigger in the next two to four weeks and I want to know what everyone…
