All 23- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well I currently have only one bike, and it IS the new VFR! However, I'm starting to wonder if the new KTM 1290 Super Adventure might also be a good candidate for a "one bike" garage. But I still love my VFR, so I really…
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. I would guess that the Givis won't be quite as well integrated as the stock bags. When you remove the stock bags, the look of the bike is very clean. The Givi bags need a rack, but there is a quick release model that is…
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. FWIW, I am disappointed with how small the bags are. The cutouts in the front to accommodate the passengers calves really makes the bags useless for holding a helmet or much gear. The Givi V35s are nice bags. We have a…
- Any Differences Between 2014 And 2015 Vfr 800 Models? I don't see any differences at all on Honda's site. Colors offered in the US are even the same between '14 and '15. Rob
- Taller Touring Windscreen? Perfect fit. No issues. Very nice quality. Rob
- Heated Grips Mine have been fine. Any chance you are trying to turn them on too soon or hitting the switch with your hand inadvertently while starting the bike? The system needs a moment to initialize after a normal engine start-up.…
- But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. "quelch"? I agree that fully adjustable suspension would be nice. Wondering if there is a fork kit to make one control compression and leave one controlling rebound. I am always baffled by the choice to only allow…
- Taller Touring Windscreen? Let me know when they make one for a Gen 8 bike... Not sure what you mean, the ERMax is a double bubble for the 8th Gen and available now. http://www.motomachi...14-_p_5029.html I see the ERMax -- was referring to the…
- Taller Touring Windscreen? Let me know when MRA makes one for a Gen 8 bike...
- Taller Touring Windscreen? Just got this from Zero Gravity when asking if they have a screen in the works: Yes, we're working on it right now. There's no estimated completion date at the moment but I'll make sure you're on the list of people we…
- Bar Riser Blocks Aka Handle Adjuster Plate 08R70Mjmd10 Simply copying is intellectual theft imho. Now, if you would offer an improved version in the FOR SALE section, that would be better I reckon. Especially since you run a commercial business. Thanks Dutchy- I understand…
- Bar Riser Blocks Aka Handle Adjuster Plate 08R70Mjmd10 When I picked up my VFR800FD, I asked the dealer to order a set of the bar riser blocks. $119.95 seemed a bit steep, but I did it anyway. They came in last week and here are a couple of shots of them. [image:…
- 2015 Crossrunner . . . Not Bad It looks like Yamaha is going to have the FJ09 for '15, so it would make sense for Honda to import this bike. If the engine and drive train are the same as the VFR, certification would be easy as well. It will be nice…
- Traction Control... I thought it felt a bit abrupt and gross compared to the TC on my Super Tenere. It felt just as tacked on as the switch to turn it off... (Apparently I need a Curmudgeon Control Button)
- Curious About Gen 8 Speedometer Accuracy Passing a radar gun, the speedo was very close. Perhaps one MPH off as noted above. I was surprised, as the '98 I traded in was 8-9% off by GPS. Most of the Japanese bikes seem to be way off. The '13 F6B I have is also…
- Taller Touring Windscreen? I do have one of those from an MRA Vario that I could try, but it will require some holes. Maybe posi-lock would work for testing. Looked at the Laminar Lip site and they don't have anything for the '14 yet. I have used…
- Taller Touring Windscreen? Not finding much yet. What is out there that is a bit taller than stock?
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Stuff is starting to show up with regularity now. This is a Delkevic stainless can, 14" long. Looks like the angle is right to fit with the bags. $169 on eBay. [image: product5150_3.jpg]
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 I am holding out for the Staintune. I had one on my '92 and '96. Absolutely love the sound and unlike the V&H on the '98, it won't ever need repacking. They have a note on their site http://staintune.com.au that they…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Two Brothers just joined the list of available slip-on systems... http://www.twobros.c...-S1R-SO-14.html Just ordered one... we'll see how fast it arrives :) No intention to fit panniers to your 8th Gen? How are those…

- Reviews 8Th Gen Vs Z1000Sx (Aka Ninja 1000) & Bmw F800Gt Nice. Thanks for posting. Wondering if the after market is going to come put with less expensive risers. Just had my dealer order the color matched panniers yesterday for my not-yet-delivered white 2014. Wondering if I…
- Review In Motorcycle Consumer News Folks- Here is a nice first impressions review of the 2014 VFR http://www.motorcycleconsumernews-digitalmagazine.com/mcnews/august_2014d?sub_id=8VSAk8gPi4Qr#pg24 For those not familiar, MCN does not take advertising, so…
