Last 50 of 80- The return of the Red Baron It's the arrow-shaped scoop on the side of the bodywork. NACA is the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the research body that designed the shape of the scoop. Outside of being used on aircraft, I think the…
- New Member - New Questions MarkinReno, 1/19/2017 at 10:34 PM I agree. Core strength is the single most important factor for rider comfort. My 13 vfr is stock. I ride 400 to 500 miles on consecutive days. At 6'3" and about 225. #, and 67years, I…
- Mystery project The top of page 3 has a poster named Eder Jesus, I remember him posting pictures of his project, but they might've been cleaned off ApexAndy's thread. Anyways, not that it adds much info on the build, but that's the guy…
- Returning Rider: VFR 800 or 1200? Are the 5th gen decals easily removed, or is that side fairing a repaint as well?
- Motorcyclist Me&MyBike Nice! Always good to get the VFRD specialty bikes into the public eye. Well deserved, Andy. Though the info block on the left says it's a '95 VFR800, does this mean I can get a job as a copy editor at Motorcyclist?…
- Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read As a current 6th gen RWB owner, I've been kicking around the idea of moving to the 1200 for next season, and this probably seals the deal... Not to mention the RC51 side piece, but that'll have to wait. Nice garage, GTI…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread Not sure what my work situation will be, but in the meantime, sign me up!
- New Fz1 With Crossplane Engine 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…
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter SEBSPEED Nice work on the VFR, however we feel it's not quite right for Bike EXIF, so we're going to pass on featuring it. All the best Wes" Their loss... I'm a little disappointed they're limiting their niche to the…
- Vfr1200... I Did It My Way I'm sold. Never have I wanted a VFR1200 like I do now... great work! "Clean" is definitely the word of the day.
- Vfr1200 Hid-Xenon Low Beam Install On one car I did an HID conversion - even with relay, direct power to battery, and the whole 9 yards - the dash will reset itself (light goes out a split second, LCD goes out and comes on, gauge needles sweeps,etc.)…
- My 4Th Gen Project Looks good, man! :cool:
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter SEBSPEED How do I submit to those blog thingies? http://www.bikeexif.com/submit-your-motorcycle For example. Can't say I know anything beyond what they say about having good lighting, etc. Reading a few of the other…
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter Awesome work, Seb. Like the others have said, there's a different custom detail that catches my eye every time I return to look at the pics. Looking forward to all the build pics, but for now the final product will do…
- My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) Another great naked 4th gen hits the internet! Love it. Great detail work.
- Vfr Rambler/cafe Racer/naked Bike? My guess is "scrambler" :unsure:
- How Quickly Does Your First One Drop? Hey Guys, I have had my '06 for just less than a month now and put over 900mi on it. I have filled the tank up a handful of times now and my first bar on my fuel gauge drops extremely quick. I mean within 14-16 miles…
- Veefer Madness It's getting there. Bone is good, arm is still weak as piss. not riding yet, waiting on strength and flexibility to come back before the doctors (and my wife) let me ride again. still managed to put a scorpion full…
- 1999 Vfr800 Resurrection If you're looking for votes, count me in as a grey supporter! A fifth gen will look sharp in any of your colour choices, though.
- Turkey Day Runaway - A Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Photo Journal Basically every picture here needs to be a VFRD featured gallery photo at some point. Thanks for sharing!
- 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options I figured I would chime in on this, in my experience helmet speakers are horrible by themselves, if you have an amplifier to drive them they can sound ok. I have tried many different types and have come to the…
- Talk Me Out Of Replacing This 6Th Gen Stator . . . My 07 RWB ended this year's riding season a few days early by eating its stator. Mileage is around 45,000 miles IIRC. I haven't pulled the cover off yet, but all the electrical tests indicate she's pooched. Lots of…
- My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process Just when we all thought the best looking custom VFR couldn't be topped... Wow!
- Whats This Wheel Off? Veefer800Canuck The 8-spoke was my first mod to my 800, 15 years ago, long before it became "a thing". Careful, that's a borderline hipster statement... :goofy:
- Mr. Rc45 Digital Oil Pressure Gauge Mod BusyLittleShop Lorne DIESEL If you wish to run a diesel oil in your motorcycle then I recommend one with an API rating CH-4 or higher because it is formulated for "high speed" (what ever that means in a diesel) I hope…
- Before You Go Get That Next Rocket Ship... It seems I have a fairly similar mindset to a few of you guys; I absolutely don't need more power than my VFR (and actually have had a blast on smaller bikes like an SV650), but to me, a responsible adult's choice in a…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr carlgustav Jumping on this bandwagon ... At a LSR event ... And heading home ... She's my 'do it all' gal :happy: ... ACE LSR being Land Speed Racing, I assume. TM = Texas Mile? How did your runs turn out?
- Nervous About Taking A Long Trip http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/79730-texasmac-2015-may-28th-31st/ Seems like a good place to start. :cool:
- Hybrid Vfr= 5Th Gen With A 6Th Gen Subframe My two cents; if you end up being able to match the tail section to the front bodywork, I'd go yellow hard bags, just go back to the same guy for paint. Otherwise matching the gunmetal of your wheels would look sharp.
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr My 4th gen at the moment... Just finished checking valve clearances (still within spec after 107,000 km!) and waiting for a clutch cover courtesy of Seb. And a crappy cell phone pic of my RWB on the way to the Oregon…
- My 4Th Gen Project Scottay951 Fresh from the factory! :wheel: very nice! Painting or coating the clutch plate?
- Hybrid Vfr= 5Th Gen With A 6Th Gen Subframe Such a sharp looking combo of generations! Keeping the yellow?
- 1999 Vfr800 Resurrection Rovari I found evidence of mice in the swingarm and steering head as well. Not to steer your post off track although I haveconsidered covering the rubber intake port with 1/2" x 1/2" square steel mesh. Has anyone done…
- Rear Wheel Switchblade New wheel and 5-lug hub are about $620 ... That seems surprisingly inexpensive...
- Pikes Peak � It�S Better In The Wind That's me running out of fuel...
- Pikes Peak � It�S Better In The Wind A bit of follow-up to add here.... Apparently life got in the way of me posting the last couple days of the trip, but we ended up crunching out 500-mile days to make it back on time. Plus one of those days was south…
- Vfr All "adv'd" - Knobbies Mounted (Tkc80S) - Ultimate "do Everything" Ride? Love that pic of the rear tire! Can't stop smiling at the thought of throwing a rooster tail to the tune of a V4. Worried at all about mud clogging the front fender?
- Officially A 6Th Gen Owner Score! Congratulations, sir, your new ride looks amazing! Enjoy.
- Streetfighter Fairing Weekend Project 1. What's it going on? 2. If you didn't post that cat picture, I would've... 3. I see a bit of 2009+ Yamaha R1 in it. I like.
- Rwb. What Would You Pay? I hate you so much right now. I am literally green with envy. ok, I'm over it. Congrats! ^ Considering you've been on the hunt too (likely for much longer than I have), I know how you feel. Your unicorn will appear at…
- Rwb. What Would You Pay? I did it. I made the deal. I feel pretty damn lucky. :happy: I'm in a mixed state of zen and controlled explosive excitement right now! Initial thoughts: -VTEC is hilarious. I love it! -I like the stock exhaust note…
- My 95' Rc36 Cafe Racer Project Amazing!
- Rwb. What Would You Pay? Haha thanks for the input gents, that's pretty much what I was expecting. I've offered to put a deposit on it until I'm able to view it. The only downside is that I'm in the Middle East for the rest of the week,…
- Rwb. What Would You Pay? So I've been on the hunt for an RWB for a few months now, trying to get an idea of market value. (Generally looking thru craigslist postings in 'Merica). Then, lo and behold, this ad pops up (conveniently close to me),…
- 2014 Vfr 800 Review Just as soon as I think I'm committed to buying a 6th gen... this review comes along and throws me for a loop. The pictures in the article really invite the eye to study the subtleties of the new design. I like it more…
- My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process Mmmmm, torque plateau....
- Lees Het Zelf Maar Belfry Thanks, Dutchy. I like it (even the punched in face), except for the side exhaust. Why did they have to go and hide that nice new wheel? :wacko: I agree, though there is one saving grace: it's a normal-looking…
- Pikes Peak � It�S Better In The Wind Day 6: Colorado Springs to Steamboat Springs, August 15th. ~450km. Note to self; write ride report sooner, the details are fading! Good thing for pics and videos to refresh my memory. With any luck, I’ll get this done…
- Veefer Madness paladinreed [image: attachicon.gif]image.jpg And now for a pic of it on the bike?!?
- Veefer Madness paladinreed Speaking of wheels, the RS should be finished by the end of the week hopefully and out the door to me. Maybe I missed it, but what are the dimensions for that wheel? I'm excited to see it on the bike. :happy:
