  1. How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? 14 Mar 2016 15:59 Bent I was going to do a one thousand mile impression post of the eight gen. compared to others I've owned so this is as good a place to do it as any. Keep in mind, most of it is opinion. BTW, my opinions are almost…
  2. Mirror Snapped Off By Passing Car 11 Mar 2016 04:51 You should have taken the other mirror off and got some bar-ends.
  3. Vf1000R Cyllinders On A Vfr800Fi? 10 Mar 2016 12:15 You could've added a second engine for less than that.
  4. 4Th Gen Fork Options 19 Dec 2015 10:29 Isn't the VTR1000F fork lowers with modded internals to suit also one of the simpler swaps for the better brakes while you're sorting the springs/damping? Also there was a VTR fork brace that was supposed to fit, which…
  5. Vfr1200X Us Bound! 27 Nov 2015 05:21 What is the purpose of the beak? Is it just a styling cue to scream,"I'm an adventure bike" or does it serve an off road function? It's possible that besides the obvious styling cue, it may well provide some downforce…
  6. Project 156 Video: Is Victory Building A Sport Model? 9 May 2015 09:37 Please be the engine that's going to end up in sporty, naked/semi-naked big twins that handle supremely on real roads, and that are lighter and with more horsepower than the Yamaha MT-01 (which has superb torque and a…
  7. Resonator Removal? 24 Mar 2015 06:53 Possibly some Helmholtz Resonance wrangling, like snorkels and flappers also play a part in.
  8. This Cbr250 Has Peaked My Interest 19 Feb 2013 07:04 i still say honda should have taken the engine from the old VTR250 v-twin, fuel-injected it to meet modern emissions standards, and levered it into the all new chassis with the vfr1200 lookalike bodywork. The VTR was…
  9. 91 Vfr Fork Swap 1 Dec 2012 04:56 First generation Kawasaki ZX-12R front is a direct swap! You get preload,compression and rebound adjustibility and 320mm brake discs with 6 pot brake calibers for a bonus. How are 43U (upside-down) forks a direct swap?
  10. Here's your sign... 15 Sep 2012 04:28 So he said "does it STILL have". Maybe he thought your 3rd Gen was a newer model than his 800...
  11. 3rd gen rough idle when hot........Why? 15 Sep 2012 04:08 Does the fuel pump come on at idle? Maybe you needed a new filter.
  12. S20 tire review - 700 miles 9 Jul 2012 09:55 Thanks for the impressions. When these came out to good early press reviews and essentially as an update of the BT 016 Pro, I thought they ought be pretty good, pending real world durability. I had front a BT 015 on a…
  13. Front end wobbles and can't figure out why 2 May 2012 09:20 I had a recent bad hands-off wobble in the usual speed range, which was solved with a new front tyre (Dunlop Sportsmart).
  14. For those who love oem oil filters and hate Fram. 23 Apr 2012 06:59 Just because they're made by the same place and look the same, that doesn't mean the Honda branded ones aren't made to their specification that's higher. Then again, they might be identical, but it's hard to tell…
  15. Who rides the youngest 4th Gen???? 2 Feb 2012 08:09 Not the youngest by year ('95), but young at heart, just having passed 50 000 km.
  16. High right exhaust 4th Gen 8 Jan 2012 15:00 You could ask Megacycle if they've done them before.
  17. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 22 Dec 2011 04:09 I like Dunlops and was keen on trying the Qualifier 2, but I called the bike shop where I get my bike stuff from the other day (realising the middle of the rear tyre was almost gone) and asked what they had in stock in…
  18. Bullsh***er's at work....post your snappy retorts. 9 Dec 2011 06:54 "Yeah...you're pretty Fly for a white guy..." "So...how have Kawasaki and Suzuki been doing in MotoGP lately..?" "What? You didn't know the Suzuki GP bike was A VEE FOUR!?"
  19. Bullsh***er's at work....post your snappy retorts. 9 Dec 2011 02:59 Show them the dyno results for the new Kawasaki, and point out that since they're all about bragging rights, both their bikes are now redundant - http://www.motorcycl...arts-and-video/
  20. Motorcycle is apparently a raptor. 19 Oct 2011 07:00 You might have stumbled upon the infamous Ball Bearing Bird, which apparently could have ended badly -
  21. ECU Update from Honda...reported on UK site 3 Oct 2011 14:19 Maybe the 1st and 2nd gear restriction is partly to avoid strain on the shaft setup at low speed.
