Last 50 of 110- Argh Sorry to hear another one of your vfr's has suffered a blow. Hope it works out well.
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer a tuono 1100 is the obvious choice :) the tuono is the Mr Hyde to go with Dr Jekyll (VFR)
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! the 8th gen is a great looking and handling bike. i just wish honda would drop a 7th gen motor in it with chain drive, call it new, put usd forks on it, promote it as wonderful (did anyone hear the words super sport??)…
- Stolen VFR Congrats and good choice :)
- Stolen VFR i recommend trying several new options before deciding....why not? i have a daytona 675 and love it but bikes each have their own personality and you may want to try them all over time...you need to try an fz 10.…
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! Good shopping. There is a std now at coleman's near me but it has some miles and seems like the dlx is the best way to go in my view. Enjoy your new steed!
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! 2 hours ago, michels280 I paid $8600 out the door, excluding TTT, at the end of Sept. - 2014 VFR800 DLX in Red. I couldnt turn it down. wow that's a great deal. which dealer was it?
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR 12 hours ago, 14thumper And here's my Interceptor's stable mate. Bought it new in September for a pretty good deal (while actually looking for the Interceptor lol). I like both bikes a lot so far but the CB is a bit…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR i'm no mechanic, but that lower hose nearest the residue looks askew and not clamped properly to the pipe . it also looks like the leak is coming from the gasket connection between the two metal parts
- Vid of my VFR800 at "Tail of the Gator" Gator Greg === you may want to look into this jennings track. Looks great!
- Vid of my VFR800 at "Tail of the Gator" The gainsville track sounds like a cager track on its website. Worth checking into though :)
- Vid of my VFR800 at "Tail of the Gator" Are there any tracks (not oval like ... daytona 500 ...) in florida? if not, someone needs to buy up some of what i've heard is relatively inexpensive land and build one with lots of S turns :goofy: . i believe with the…
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! Makes sense ... but didn't realize i was promoting a quicker trade of a cousin (i have a 675 triumph also :beer: ) From the looks of your garage though it must feel a bit out of place :)
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! in case my update was missed: a 2014 new DLX for $7900.. Ad says make offer.. http://www.cycletrader.com/dealers/Cedar-Creek-Motorsports-2849254/listing/2014-Honda-Interceptor-VFR800-DLX-114917243 And its the fast red…
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! You forgot to add in the cost of "live entertainment" while at the hotels when calculating the $2100 bill for the trip ;) Also just checked cycle trader and the $68xx 8th gen in wisconsin is still advertised…
- 8th gen minor updates for 2017 honda must be happy with the vfr since I've read that euro 4 changes are significant to develop and implement and I think i read was one reason the cbr600 was dropped since it wasn't worth the investment
- FZ / MT 10- an alternative to a VFR? Thanks Rob :beer:
- FZ / MT 10- an alternative to a VFR? I know its a sporty naked bike and an inline 4 but it does sound like a V4 with lots of mid-range grunt and has panniers as an option as well as a comfort seat that looks worthy of a passenger. It also has LED…
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 6 hours ago, dogman Can you confirm that the new Yamaha MT10 is actually cheaper than a new VFR800 in the UK? Tempted by the MT10? I am :) Hope its brought to USA .
- DLX Options :fing02:
- DLX Options 2016 at 7:06 AM, reighnman, May 6 I picked up my dlx last night and there were was another std & dlx being prepped for sale! Just to be sure I understand: prepping to be available for sale or getting them ready for…
- How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? 2016 R1200 GS curb weight fully fueled (5.2 gal) = 525lbs (BMW motorad website) 2015 Aprilia tuono v4r curb weight fully fueled =467lbs (212kg wet) (Aprilia tuono forum) 2016 S1000 XR curb weight fully fueled (5.2gal) =…
- How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? Honest question: why is the 8th gen so heavy? Many other bikes of similar stature (tuono for one) or larger (GS?) weigh less. Part of my reason for asking is I've observed quite a few comment they wish it had more power…
- Why I Chose The Vfr 800F Great writeup-thanks! Great looking bike too-enjoy :wheel:
- U-Crating Of A Rc213V-S Video With Brief Startup Sound [video: https://youtube.com/embed/s6ZJps5ft08?html5=1&fs=1] Sadly, its not my birthday present...someone elses :)
- How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? Plus it looks and sounds pretty darn nice ! Edited 20 March by windyrun
- Quick Shifter Experiences Wow. First we like to use acronyms. Now we like naming things. Oh well. Moving on.
- Quick Shifter Experiences Hmm... we call the bike an Interceptor. Is that an acronym for something :)
- Quick Shifter Experiences What exactly is the origin of "the beans"? Coffee beans?
- Well, I Bought A New 2014 Vfr800 Deluxe Today .... Congratulations on your new steed :)! What color did you get? Was wondering if the $8999 was out the door or before fees, freight and tax. Thx!
- Pgm-Fi Light Very Low Idle And Stall . What does wheelying often have to do with anything :)?
- Visited The Honda Dealer Today inztigator Thanks for the feedback guys. And apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread :( FWIW. I rode for a few years in South Africa on CBR600RR and GSXR600, but never did any big rides so I don't recall any pain.…
- Motus V4 What the heck? Anyone know anything about these? http://www.motusmotorcycles.com
- 2017 Rvf1000 V4 Couldn't find a better place since 8th gen is most recent and this article seems to address what I've read many 8th gen owners would like to see-liter v4 engine with updates.
- 2017 Rvf1000 V4 Its not a vfr, but a new v4 from honda http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2015/december/honda-plan-superbike-double/ Will they make it?
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Congrats! Looks and sounds really great. And so much more compact than the "substantial" stock can :)
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well My comment about honda versus bmw and triumph was focused mainly on making life easy when choosing and buying a bike. My experience, though limited (4 bike purchases), is that honda dealers don't stock a full array of…
- New 8Th Generation Owner Congrats on the new bike! Any thoughts on differences with the cbr650? I used to own one so am curious. Frank comments welcome :)
- Forums Maybe someone should forward this to Honda...1.5 million people seem to be interested in the vfr800 class. New motor and other wishes granted maybe ???
- Diet For Bike If a cbr 1000 is what you migrate to you can consider adjustable clip ons to raise the bar height an inch or two as well as adjustable rear sets. These two changes can make it a bit closer to the ergos of the vfr and…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Was there a poll on which of the major pipes was "your" favorite? If not, might be a good idea to start one. My favorite is the matte black DAM slip on for looks and the 2Brothers for sound ;)
- Oem Video Needed Is that an Arai signet q nicely tucked in there?
- Need To Make A Decision OK, just to start trouble: try out a tuono! V4 and italian (not great for long commutes but you won't care once you hear its roar!) And fairly comfy ergos too
- Need To Make A Decision Hyperstrada or multistrada?? You could buy both vfrs at the price you are stating and simply donate them when done and be about the same cost as one of those so no wedding required :goofy:
- Adjustable Pegs Thanks for the suggestions and ideas! My knees thank you too ;)
- Adjustable Pegs In its stock form, the 8th has nice ergos, but for me I think I need pegs a little further down or back to allow for me to extend my legs/knees a bit for longer rides/touring. Has anyone installed adjustable pegs on…
- Talk Me Out Of A New $8K, 8Th Gen - Or Not I'm not sure but I think there are differences in the front forks between the std and dlx versions. Wait until you hear from others here before pulling any triggers is my recommendation. Though I did test ride a std and…
- 12 Years... (Vfr Calling) One of the problems I often see that leads to sore backside and lower back are handlebar risers. They are about the worst addition that can be done for a sustainable seating position for a person with a halfway healthy…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Thanks for the input and good point about down low weight. I agree I like the Akro best all around. The DAM looks pretty nice though especially in that all matte black
- Need To Make A Decision One other method I've heard that I just remembered is probably the most important :) Choose whichever bike that after you ride it you step back and stare at uncontrollably with a grin on your face and the one that…
