All 23- My Crossplane Cranked R1 Review Wow, what a great bike, thanks for the pics---I'm a big fan of the crossplane R1. My buddy has an '09 that I've been fortunate enough to ride often. I've found that even in [relatively] stock form it is still a very,…
- Clutch - Vibration ilprofessore I can agree that for the new 1200 engine there is not sufficient information concerning the reliability (up to now the maximum mileage is about 35k miles, here in Italy), but this is not a reason to define…
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? Great post!
- Clutch - Vibration Tamworth Phoenix Tamworth Now we've gone from the original poster who noticed a bit more noise and vibration when the clutch is out in neutral, which is normal for all bikes, to "a weired noise when the clutch is…
- Clutch - Vibration ilprofessore And your friend is a " motorcycle mechanic"? Uhm, very interesting. I hope the maintenance of your bikes is made by someone else :laugh: As a mechanic he had access to information that your average owner…
- 2013 Vfr1200F Volfy The only true competitor for the VFR1200 is the K1200S/1300S - in the category of "gentlemen's sport bike", that can double as a very sporty tourer. That said, people do cross shop VFR1200 with the traditional…
- Clutch - Vibration Tamworth Phoenix My friend, who used to be a motorcycle mechanic, noticed this trait right away and had to point it out to me. He really didn't, and still doesn't, like this latest VFR, and used this strange clutch…
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? I think, of late, Honda has been trying a little harder, losing a bit of their traditional arrogance. Their cars are looking more nicely styled, (on the outside), and on the bike side they're delivering more…
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? I appreciate the riding impressions. I would really like to ride one, but unlike Ducati dealers, Honda dealers NEVER allow test rides. I guess it depends on the dealer. I got to ride the first VFR1200 in the Greater…
- 2013 Vfr1200F ilprofessore The FJR can be compared to BMW K1300GT, Kawa GTR1400 and Honda PanEuropean (and also to BMW R1200Rt and Guzzi Norge, even if the engine is different). The VFR is more sport oriented than FJR and only the…

- 2013 Vfr1200F ilprofessore OT Ruffino? It is not an Italian coffee. I have never heard this name here in Italy. Close OT In my opinion, FJR 1300 is not a competitor of VFR. Ruffino is a brand-name, like Illy. It's quite good and it's…
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? lets face it, if Honda had produced a simple motorized 6 speed (vfr 1000) with hydraulic valved GP motor, race level suspension, and adjusted for ammenities and comfort. 90 % of everyone would be Drooling like CRAZY,…
- 2013 Vfr1200F EhViffer I looked for the CB1100 at the Toronto show too but did not spot it in the Honda booth. Maybe I missed it. Anybody else go from the GTA who might have seen it there? There is another show in early January maybe…

- VFR1200 engine tear-down As for the 2011 CBR's, no one knows yet because not many people are buying them. Many, many forum members on the CBR boards, (1000rr.net, 1000rr.us), have bought other bikes like Ducatis, Yamahas, and Aprilias. I think…

- Front fairing removal how to and K&N install HispanicSlammer Phoenix OMG. What is it with Honda and their fairings, lately? Waaaay too complex. BTW, I'm not a fan of the K & N air filters. I have one on my Yamaha, (--needed as part of the jetting mods I had done),…

- 1200 Demo Ride Nice bikes, and nice pics. But they're so different-looking that it's hard to believe they're both VFR's.... I really liked the 1200 when I rode it, too. My dealer let me have a brand-spanking new one for a test-ride,…
