  1. Buying advice - 8th gen 12 Oct 2017 12:16 Hard to see $1600 for what amounts to maybe $150 worth of technology being a deal. The pricing on luggage for this bike (and in general) is just absurd.
  2. Anyone have an extra set of pannier\side case step bushings? 9 May 2017 19:22 I was lucky that a very nice Canadian member of the Facebook VFR1200 owners group sent me a set. The bushings completely eliminate free play at the spar.
  3. Returning owner for the third time 8 May 2017 22:08 Man, the silver looks great. Has a nice depth to it. Grats.
  4. Dunlop Roadsmart 3's 5 May 2017 00:48 For what it's worth Revzilla drop ships their tires. Tucker rocky I think, was where the t30 evos I got through them came from.
  5. Tracked the 8th Gen over the weekend 28 Apr 2017 15:09 I was pleasantly surprised by the RC79's competence at the track. Front brake is mediocre with OE pads and lame master cylinder, but otherwise I was very satisfied. There is something to be said for riding a slow bike…
  6. What kind of Oil/Filter do y'all use? 24 Apr 2017 02:08 K&N failed on me today at the track! Absolutely never did I ever tighten the damn thin with a wrench either (even though the illustration on the packaging shows just that). Was my first time taking the RC79 to the…
  7. Anyone have an extra set of pannier\side case step bushings? 22 Apr 2017 16:29 The bushings that bolt on to the passenger footpeg extensions. AKA RUBBER STEPS KIT, part # 08L51-MGE-800R1 Honda has discontinued them and they are out of stock everywhere.
  8. Ducati new VFR 5 Oct 2016 21:21 19 hours ago, Tiutis I think VFR has better looking front end and wheels. Ducati-love that frame piece and exhaust. Perfect power, well-priced! Whats the deal with the bag options? Semi-Rigid bags come with the touring…
  9. Why I Chose The Vfr 800F 21 Mar 2016 22:25 Black looks so sharp on this bike.
  10. What Does Traction Control "feel" Like? 20 Mar 2016 22:47 In higher gears with light throttle application I find that the V-tec transition feels like a slight hesitation. TC is much more intrusive on this bike.
  11. How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? 18 Mar 2016 21:48 Bent Eighth gen.: Mine is "snatchy" on the throttle but that will go away in time as my 6th gen did. I think VFR engines really smooth out over time. Overall looks are much better than the 6th but the 5th is a beauty…
  12. Akrapovic Exhaust 21 Jan 2016 00:11 Man, no shipping to the states! Would snap it up otherwise.
  13. Recent Out The Door Prices Usa 8 Jan 2016 11:45 Thanks!
  14. Recent Out The Door Prices Usa 7 Jan 2016 22:59 Working with some dealers nearby and have a 1st offer of $11.5k out the door for a '14 DLX. Sound reasonable? Edited 7 January by smoke4ndmears
  15. My VF500 rebuild 28 Aug 2012 00:56 That's a pretty good red!
  16. My VF500 rebuild 7 Jun 2012 11:34 Looking great!!! Great choice going back to black with the wheels. I've been thinking of white, as it looks fantastic, but would regret it when trying to clean those F2 wheels.
