All 25- Winter Sunglasses I have 2 pairs of Costa Del Mars. Dark and bronze lenses. Bronze one had a rubber liner on the temple cover areas but it eventually wore down to the plastic and low and behold it is a sharp edge so I can't wear them.…
- Advanced Rider Training, Why Don't You Take It? Rider training in the U.S. is very basic. I know because I have both a U.S. and UK license as the U.S. license won't transfer here. The rider requirements to get a license in the UK is more difficult in that you have a…
- 8th gen review from long time 4th gen owner I'm a 5th gen owner. While my bike was getting it's MOT (inspection) I test drove a nice black one today. I would say the following: - The engine definitely has an odd sound. Down low it sounds like a tractor or old VW…
- 8th gen review from long time 4th gen owner I'm a 5th gen owner. While my bike was getting it's MOT (inspection) I test drove a nice black one today. I would say the following: - The low end throttle feels like 1990's fuel injection. It's manageable but it is…
- Refurbishing A Stolen, River-Found, Vfr 750... Awesome gesture. Humanity is not dead. We forget bikes can be lifted into vans. A real shame.
- Tar Snakes Only solution I found was to slow down because you can pretty much assume that a road with tar snakes is a wet road.
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th A great bike, absolutely. Is it worth $14K.....I'm afraid not compared to what's out there.
- High Speed Front Wobble/instability ? First, stop riding so fast as the symptoms you point out do not sound good. Second, it could be steering head bearings, possibly suspension needs maintenance if the fork oil is old. Although you are trying to compare a…
- Another Bright Idea For My 5Th Gen Viffer.... Are there any concerns by anyone with the 60/55w draw? Am I going to toast anything from the rectifier, wiring, to stator? Also, can you provide the exact part number for the lights? I'm finding something that looks…
- 5Th Gen Mileage Bought mine with 5300 miles last September and I now have 8000 miles. Time to change the oil, spark plugs, and any other fiddling I want to do while the fairings are off.
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride Can I ask why you are thinking of getting rid of a bike like the ST1300? Seems like a superior 2up bike overall.
- Theft Recovery - The Good And The Bad News. Yeah, the stake out for the rider may only produce someone who bought it from someone else, etc. It's a nice mystery to want to solve and I would be just as curious but too many thefts on a daily basis to try and track…
- Greetings All Welcome to you and your oldie but a goodie bike.
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride Nice write up by MCN. Here is a screenshot from the article. [image: 6anu7evy.jpg] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride Thinking about it afterwards we were very much focused on the bike Honda had produced, rather than what might have been. Yes, I prefer the 800Fi gear cam engine to the VTEC engine but I think everything else about my…
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride RoystonRocket, when you say no grunt you mean no torque? I used to own a 6th gen. I thought it was ok but it didn't have as much ooomph as my 5th gen. I'm sure the 1200 beats the socks off of all of them which is…
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride In the states I did have a 6th gen vtec. It was smaller than the 5th gen I have now. It felt more compact overall but I'm not sure it was anything other than in my mind. The new one has the radiators moved to the front…
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride Skids, I see you're in Beds. What dealer? I want to test ride one but then I don't because it may put my 5th gen to shame. :goofy: It WILL put it to shame m8. Norton Way Honda in Letchworth. Ahhh, I almost guessed that.…

- Are Heli Bars For Me? I think how you are built affects this greatly. I have a friend who is 6'3". His shoulders aren't that broad and his arms are long so he reaches them easily without bending over. He's done 500 mile days. It's his ass…
- Shindengen Fh020Aa Rectifier / Regulator - Super Mosfet Kit mello dude Texfoto Anyone know the difference between this and the on from wiremybike? Preferences? Wiremybike sells Ricks products. Roadstercycle is the Shindengen FH020a R/R. Pics of that are above. Is there any…

- New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. Looks like a CBR. Interesting they put traction control, or maybe it's an option. Improvements look promising for someone itching for a new bike. It certainly is an interesting development considering all of the other…
- Hitcase Pro For Iphone 5 (Or 4/s) I saw someone with one in the UK. He had it mounted to the gas tank of a CBR so it would record video through the windshield. It looked good. Keep in mind it is intended for still and video recording. My experience with…
- What Kind Of Mpg Do You Get? Just purchased a stock 5th Gen with 5000 miles on it. Getting 200 per tank with varied riding.
