All 29- Vfr1200F Owners - Welcome To The Finest Of Honda Traditions! The first VFR I ever owned was the 1200 and I have found it to be a great bike. It has also awakened my interest in other VFRs and the general history of Honda V4s. Now also as an owner of an earlier VFR, I know the…
- Bigger Fuel Tank I have the early model, says the tank can take 18.5 litres. I can get close to that without having run dry, 17.9 the most I put in once. Touring, solo, full panniers and top box. Gets 280-290 km if I leave it that long.…
- An Excellent Book On The Honda V4 Story. Ouch! might wait for sale day on that one.
- An Excellent Book On The Honda V4 Story. My apologies for techno incompetence. I cannot quite work out on the Ipad what the link is, but it comes up first in Amazon if you use 'Greg Pullen Honda' as the search. And the price seems to have changed, now to just…
- An Excellent Book On The Honda V4 Story. The book? Honda V4 : The complete Four-Stroke Story The writer? Greg Pullen I found this searching Honda on Amazon. For $8 you get an electronic Kindle version. This book is close to a complete history of Honda itself…
- Turkey Day Runaway - A Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Photo Journal Thank you. And people here think vacation USA is just theme parks, movie stars and Vegas. I am now educated. Stunning.
- The Cheesy Plastic Black Piece With The Fake Frame Wield Point: Vfr 1200 ... And I am not sure this is a fake weld ... Looks and feels real ...
- The Cheesy Plastic Black Piece With The Fake Frame Wield Point: Vfr 1200 Here is a frame that I never tire of ... nothing cheesy or fake here ...
- Is this the first time a gen 8 vfr800 has raced officially in a hill climb Yes he does appreciate a good V4. Spoke with Aaron Slight by chance today and he said he raced it completely stock including the tyres. He thinks he came 5th on the Hill Climb against the likes of Cam Donald on open…
- Is this the first time a gen 8 vfr800 has raced officially in a hill climb At the Burt Munro Challenge Hill Climb today, former Superbike Racer Aaron Slight was racing a new model of the VFR800. Picture from Bike Rider Magazine Facebook Page Attached Files [image: Attached File] image.jpg…
- Is The First Vfr Now A Classic? Bike magazine thinks it was an instant classic, however if you go off prices (in NZ at least) good first generation VFRs do not sell for much over residual (unlike rc30, CBX1000s, K1 Cb750 etc). Is it simply not old…
- Vfr1200 2015 Currently the VFR1200 is just good enough that I have not traded it. I was hoping and maybe I am holding off for something more than just a revised colour scheme. It would not have taken much for me to uograde to a 2015…
- Honda Reveals New 2015 Vfr800X Crossrunner Looks good.
- Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... Time to test the 8th Gen against my stable - and the final conclusion is? I want more VFRs! The Gen 8 is better than I expected. It has handling in the corners nearly as good as a latest Triumph Street Triple with the…
- Vfr 1200 Motor In New Ariel Ace Motorcycle MCN writes ... "You can’t go far wrong when you start with a Honda VFR1200 engine and electronics, so it’s no surprise the Ace’s lump is a peach, developing linear power, with glitch-free fuelling, and a nice kick at…
- What Is Different With The Last Rc24 (1989)? VFRBert Differences between 86-87 and 88-89 model are: 17 inch rims, 41 mm front fork against 37 mm, 297 mm rotors against 279 mm, 36 mm carbs against 34 mm, 3 part fairing against 2 part. Improved ingnition system,…
- What Is Different With The Last Rc24 (1989)? I have just bought a RC24 with a build date 5/89. It has 41,000 miles on it. It runs nicely and is not massively overshadowed by either of my two more modern bikes, in fact sits nicely in between them in terms of riding…
- 1990 Running After 22+ Years A great story Snowman, well done on the resurrection! Love to see some pictures when you have it out on the first big ride.
- Michelin pr 4 I am happy to trade faster wear for feel to a point. I have just done 7000 kms on Michelin Pilot Power 3s. The tyre wear indicator is not quite reached so probably 1000 kms legally left. They feel better than the PR3 to…
- Bigger Fuel Tank GerhardVFRRider Thanks! Here in South Africa a bigger tank is not really necessary as all our fuel garages are within 200 km of each other. Just annoying to stop so often. In NZ it is rare to have go even that far…
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options i have found the OEM bags to be excellent, though I do not camp, always stay in motels and I have the top box as well. The advantages are single key, colour matching and when removed there is no evidence the side bags…
- One of the Top Scenic Drives in North America... Icefields Parkway Great post and pics. Thanks.
- 2012 VFR1200 not available in Australia yet! Finland even more expensive than in New Zealand then, I think I feel better (?). Well when I ride my VFR anyway, I,m with you Pete2, I still think its worth it. Clearly USA gets the best deal, is there anyone worse than…

- Next Bike! A KTM 690, completely different. Both will make you appreciate the other one for different reasons.

- 2012 VFR1200 not available in Australia yet! I didn't ride the R model, but spoke recently with a guy who collects bikes (currently has 16) and he said the K1200R was the one he always found himself choosing, not just day rides but even trips away. I'm assuming…
- 2012 VFR1200 not available in Australia yet! Honda has brought the new 2012 VFRs into New Zealand at $27,000. The odd dealer is still off loading the 2010s at $20,000 but not many left now. Second hand the 1200 s are going around $16000. That is probably way more…
