All 31- 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride Ben, Jason and Bob, great job stepping up to the plate and carrying this tradition forward. Once again it was the perfect balance of riding, comradery and simply having a good time. [image: tmac 2.jpg]
- 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread Absolutely great time as usual! I truly enjoy riding and spending time with the knowledgeable, fun people that make up this group. Until next year, twist the the throttle and be safe. [image: IMG_0959.JPG]
- Pure Gas Is The Bomb! Bent, you are 100 % correct, Ethanol is crony capitalism or government picking losers (no winners) at the highest level. Ted Cruz gained some respect from me when he was the only candidate to reject the ethanol mandates…
- What Happened To The Daytona 200 Very similar to when Indianapolis motor speedway thought they were more import than all open wheel racing in the US. Racing suffered until they finally reunited 15 years later. Daytona is probably less significant in…
- V-Tec Advantage - Or Not I would be curious to see what the actual cost of the 6th gen engine is next to the 5th gen engine. From an engineering standpoint, I love the gear driven cams. Remember when Aprilia offered this as a very expensive…
- Nicky Finally Going To Wsbk Agreed. The mere fact that Jon Rea went from being an afterthought to dominating the WSBK series shows the weakness in the CBR. Nicky will have has hands full next year, but I hear Honda is coming out with a new bike in…
- 2015 Texasmac Quotes TimC Not his exact words, but... Dmitry: "I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I'm really hoping to avoid getting that green shirt." Sorry you 'won' the shirt, but I'm still glad you're OK, buddy! :smile: Dmitry, how…
- Official Event & Picture Thread, 2015 Tmac! As always, it was a great time. I enjoyed 3 days of great riding with a great group of people. My appreciation goes out to the individuals who spent the time organizing the event. [image:…
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter Looking good! I'll take closer inspection next week.
- Progressive Vs Linear Rear Shock Spring The rear suspension relies on the shock linkage to provide progressive behavior (changing rate of shock movement vs wheel travel). Linear linkage pieces are often available for GSXR's and CBR's for track use, but I am…
- Track Only Tires. What U Using? I went with the Q3's, have not mounted them up yet. Best bargain out there.
- 11Th Annual Tmac Picture Thread Good times, great riding and many stories to tell. Thanks to everyone who helped pull this off. Attached Images [image: 10.JPG] [image: 4.JPG]
- Time For A New Battery? I just recently installed a shorai in my CBR, first impressions are great. It will shave 6 lbs off your VFR's weight if you care. I don't ride in <30 F. weather, if you do, cold starting can be an issue.
- Coolant Type Hmmm - this is kinda like an oil thread. Yes, exactly. I use the cheap green stuff at napa, bike runs 175-185.
- Pics Yamaha R1 Front End On My 2007 Those headers look great, who makes them? Does your right foot heat up much? The OEM headers + heatshield are an eyesore for sure.
- New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. Yes, I am happy to see that Honda is bringing back a proper sport touring bike that was there flagship for 2 1/2 decades. Bringing it back with a 12 year old engine and frame, come on, Honda can do better than that.
- installed pair block off plates, and a question How long did it take you to install the plates? The only thing I don't like about my new leo vince exhaust is the popping on decel, I have done this mod on other bikes and has done the trick. Thanks
- Another Leo Vince question It really is just what look your going for. The CF cans might come in 1 lbs lighter, not sure if that matters on a VFR. As far as sound goes, I would say the same. I have the aluminum cans on mine, plenty loud with the…
- Moto Circle Levers Got some moto circle levers (ebay) for my bike. I was curious how good they could be for 58$ set shipped. Overall I was very impressed. I had some CRG levers for my RC51 and these are very, very close in terms of…
- Why the "buzz" about aftermarket exhaust? In my case, it was 60 % for sound, 40 % for looks. If you can appreciate the sound of the beloved internal combustion engine, putting an exhaust on your VFR is about as good as it gets. (errr, that was until Honda made…
- So what's your MPG??? On the 2005, I average very close to 45. I usually fill up at around 200 miles and put in a little less than 4.5 gallons
- Oil and filter advice I good friend of mine used to be a chemical engineer for the Mobil 1 division of Exxon. After hearing some of the tests they did, I am sold on Mobil 1, but I am sure any other top synthetic is comparable. As far as oil…
- First track day. I took my 2005 to NJMP last year as well for the first time. Worked great, understanding what it is and what it isn't. Only real complaint like you mentioned was the linked brakes. One time after passing someone and not…
- Sales Success of 7th Gen Just curious, anyone know how well the 7th gen. VFR is selling?? I stopped at my local dealer today, he said they sold (1) VFR all year, and they practically had to give it away. I was also wondering why honda still has…
- 5th Annual Fall Ride in the Catskills: Sept 30 - Oct 2 I like to ride at a good pace using judgement. I have done multiple track days in the past (previous bikes), but not with the VFR
- 5th Annual Fall Ride in the Catskills: Sept 30 - Oct 2 That link didn't work, but basically I know some good roads to the NY border, and then RT 209 goes from Port Jervis to New Paltz basically.
- 5th Annual Fall Ride in the Catskills: Sept 30 - Oct 2 Yes, I am all for meeting on for the ride up. This is a tentative route that looks pretty good. http://maps.google.com/maps/myplaces?vpsrc=0&ctz=240&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=23.875,57.630033&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=4
- 1st day ride on the new VFR How do you like the handling compared to the 2003? I currently have a 2005, my only real concern with the 7th gen is the weight, I do like to hit the twisty back roads now and then. What kind of mileage are you getting?…

- New VFR owner I just brought home a 2005 VFR. The bike has 4K miles and is in really good shape. I'm looking forward to getting some rides in this fall before winter hits.
