Last 50 of 131- Say it isn't so! Had a 2010 VFR 1200 DCT and traded in for 2020 Honda AT AS DCT after around 100,000 km of superb service. Loved the VFR but when no new model was on the horizon decided to give the forestry roads a run. Change is a true…
- Lithium Ion Battery Switched to Shorai lithium on both VFR 1200's about four years ago. No issues with starting in all weather conditions. Have them on a tender through winter. Did replace one last year but considered that an acceptable…
- Glacier National Park Aug 28 - Sept 5 We did the Glacier and Going To The Sun Rd last year (2017) in August. Very memorable trip but there is quite a lot of traffic with the custom old-style tour buses and lots of tourists continually stopping in the middle…
- New VFR1200 Owner Here Hope that hound by the rear wheel is not doing a leg lift! Hmm first one I have seen with the same sliders I have on mine. Bike looks well looked after. That stock seat could inflict severe agony if you go long…
- Guhl reflash at 55k miles? swimmer, 6/2/2018 at 12:16 PM This is surprising since the Guhl flash is supposed to eliminate the power restrictions in 1St and 2ND gear which the 2012 also has as far as I know. When I first posted on the topic about…
- Guhl reflash at 55k miles? swimmer Even under hard acceleration you feel both bikes are similarly fast? Yes I do. From a standing stop at a light she has no problem staying right there. She is 60 pounds lighter. When I ride her bike I feel it…
- 7th Gen Coffman's Shorty Your bike looks great! Love the paint and that Coffman exhaust. I already have a DAM on mine but my wife's 2012 still has the monstrous stock exhaust. This looks like a great option. I only see the VFR 800 version on…
- Guhl reflash at 55k miles? This is only my literal seat of the pants observation having had the seat of my pants on both a 2010 and 2012 regularly. I would on a 2010 model but would not on a 2012 (at least ours). The flash was a noticeable…
- Canadian Ride to Beartooth Pass Really great ride report! A vicarious treat. Wonder if I traveled solo would I take the time to try and do a better job of documenting my trip? My wife and I have done many of the roads you mention on this trip on our…
- 2018 SumSum4 Location Recently (this spring) moved from Toronto to Calgary. For 5 years we rode out from Toronto to western Canada anyway so might as well move to where we like to ride. Know another couple who we just turned onto VFR's since…
- VFR1200F Crash Protection - recommendations 21 hours ago, Normand I have a set made by T-Rex, with sidecase protectors i installed Piaa led fog lamp to the side protectors [image: 20161119_160450.jpg] Hmm Piaa lights on the slider, never thought of that. What…
- Reflash v. Z-Bomb Good lord man, you have done everything else possible to your 1200 so get on with the Guhl ECU flash. :beer:
- Helmet in Factory Side Case? My Medium Schuberth C3 Pro fits but my wife's Large Shoei NeoTech does not. Having said that we both just lock the helmets to the bike.
- Veefour Electronic Cruise Control, Installed And Tested 10 hours ago, In54ne Hi Prez, I have been following you and your ECC for some time now and I think it is amazing. In essence it is a true Cruise Control. It is definitely on my wish list, just need to save the coins to…
- 92 VFR 750 Remake Nice remake of a 92 VFR 750 - links below image [image: north-east-custom-1.jpg] http://www.northeastcustom.net/portfolio/honda-vfr-hrc-tribute/ http://www.bikeexif.com/north-east-custom
- New shaft drive motorcycle land-speed record? We are truly in the weeds now on the motorcycle shaft drive world speed record. My shaft drive VFR is so powerful I'm going to time travel backward to when this thread first started and not read it, thus the time I…
- Veefour Electronic Cruise Control, Installed And Tested Have finally gotten around to having the new VeeFour cruise designed and built by Pres installed and it works just as advertised. This ride by wire unit replaces the old McCruise system that failed. We will do the same…
- Spotted - MV Agusta Klaus Bol D'Or The last post was in fact not the last post as fate would have it. While walking home from work (I live downtown Toronto) what should I spy in a furniture shop? Yes friends the very bike that has caught my eye! And yes…
- Spotted - MV Agusta Klaus Bol D'Or And one last post on the topic from me. Went to the builder's site (Walt Siegl) and this sure looks like the bike that landed in Toronto. http://www.waltsiegl.com/portfolio/klaus-bol-dor/
- Spotted - MV Agusta Klaus Bol D'Or Just found this YouTube link. Yup that's the sound I heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL_MPOV98dA
- Spotted - MV Agusta Klaus Bol D'Or Spotted this on the streets of Toronto today. Heard it first coming down the canyon like streets downtown and chased the sound. The guy was on the phone when I got there so I let him be but have never seen one of these.…
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 Not a huge difference in range. Maybe 30 km (about 18.5 mi) is what seems to happen to us. Edited May 9, 2016 by EhViffer Kilometer to Mile conversion for my US friends
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 I had the Guhl reflash done on my 2010 DCT and it solved uneven fueling in lower gears. The bike before the reflash was noticeably jerkier on take off through 1st and 2nd than our 2012 DCT which according to the guy we…
- Changed Color [image: 1724_00043000042038.jpg] [image: 18649_00043000064276.jpg]
- Move Footpegs And Brakes Forward? No answer on the foot position switch, I don't know any who have tried it. Seems to me it would really mess up your riding position on the bike in that the VFR 1200 seems designed to have you over top of it rather than…
- Ooooooh squirrelman ^^^ OH, right !! Do what others are doing and your coolness and social acceptance are guaranteed, eh ?? Umm, well that's a lot to read into I think a bike like this would sell and I personally like it.…
- Ooooooh Yup read the article and then forwarded to my Honda dealer urging him to advocate for its creation. All he has to do is spend some time in downtown Toronto to see the style of bikes people are riding and building.…
- Ooooooh Now that would pull my eyes off the Thruxton R that I have been lusting for.
- T. D. R. 2 - Another Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Photo Journal Really great job on this trip report again Brian and return of the marmots too!
- Recall Update Both bikes have been given the shaft. Dealer reports a thorough and complete shafting. When we pick up, the quality of the shaft shall be determined. Still just 5C here (35F for those still using axe handles and such…
- Electronic Cruise Control Will be watching for your review as my McCruise unit actuator bit the dust. Have asked Prez to put me on his send list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Got My Guzzi superfunkomatic That's a really unique bike. I've always liked Guzzi bikes since they are a bit different from the pack. Although, I read Melissa Holbrock Pierson's book and her troubles with various Guzzi bikes and…
- Recall Update Recall being done at dealer on both our 2010 and 2012 as parts have now arrived. No mention of an "inspection" or let's take another look after "6000 miles"! Mandatory replacement in my neck of the woods.
- Runny Nose While Riding; What Do You Do? Perhaps the same advice this woman gave LeBron? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba4ALRCb2TQ
- Electronic Cruise Control I'll contact Satariel666 as well. My McCruise Cruise control failed toward the end of last summer's riding season (leaving me with no cruise from BC to Ontario - sucked!) I was wondering what to do next but this looks…

- Recall Update I use the home page as my jump off point now. For awhile I was going straight to Seventh Gen section as well but there are all sorts of other interesting VFR related discussions going on I felt like I was not taking…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts VFRRelic This topic is generating interest with me too. I am in Canada and am unable to get any info from the Honda site. The affected units listed appear to country specific as my serial fits none of the lists. If any…
- Bell & 360Fly Announce New Helmet W/cam, Bt, Crash Detection, Gps, And Other Features .... This tech is inevitable for motorcyclists and very soon. I am a road bicycle enthusiast as well and am looking at HUD (Heads UP Display) technology for my ride. If you think motorbike enthusiasts worry about weight get…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts RoystonRocket2 vfrflanders RoystonRocket2 Spoke with the dealer I purchased my 2013 (new) from and they say there are no recalls on my model. They also said they're unaware of any recall. We have a recall on all SC 63…
- Vfr1200X Us Bound! Still haven't seen anything to indicate it will be coming to Canada. Why are we being shortchanged? :mad: It is coming to Canada according to Markham Honda but will be on an allocation basis so not all dealers will…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Saw my Honda dealer here in Toronto on the weekend and he confirms Canadian recall notice and to expect a letter. Says they will fix before we get back on the bikes in the spring. Bikes have been flawless in four years…
- Cannonball 500 -September 20, 2015 In fairness related to the sand, I also wonder if sand does wash onto the roads from a rainfall, which there was the night before. But in fairness those four nice older women did flip me the bird when I went by, but in…
- Cannonball 500 -September 20, 2015 VFRpwr Wow EhViffer that is a feat and a coincidence - I was out Sunday on a few of those roads too! No wonder there was so much bike traffic (large groups) on 507/36/28! - Let me guess, the sand was found on…
- Cannonball 500 -September 20, 2015 Well that was a blast and got the Cannonball 500 finish patch riding my trusty 2010 Honda VFR 1200. The mission was to finish a 500 km (closer to 526 km) course in 7.5 hours. Seems pretty easy at first blush but they…
- VFR1200F Lower footpegs from Knight Design now ready mandavdle Ehviffer, Did you end up moving the levers on either bike to accommodate the lower foot position? Had read that others made adjustments to brake lever. We left as is on both bikes and decided to see if we…
- Pirelli Angel Gt - Kebrider Initial Report Agree with luvtoleanit. We are on our second set of Angel GT's on both bikes and run 36 front and 42 back but that is for major long distance travel with loaded panniers and a 40L fully loaded bag on the rear. Tire wear…
- Dam......i Want That! Good sound in this vid of DAM installed on VFR1200. https://www.youtube....h?v=f8c2Zu6Br4g
- Anyone Have Something Positive On The Vfr1200? I hated the first one so much I bought a second one for my wife two weeks later.
- 2012 Vfr1200 Fuel Requirements And Shaft Drive Gear Lube Not going to lie, with the 1200, there are probably a few areas on the 17 through Ontario where I'd be a bit nervous about making it between stations. I think my longest record for range with the VFR is around 230km…
