  1. Well. . . I Caved 16 Apr 2015 04:48 Been away for a while but I haven't forgotten about the best motorcycle site in the world. Hands down. I went and did it. Last summer the wife and I started spending more time on the bike and she remembered, after a…
  2. 6Th Gen 120/60 Front Tire? 7 Mar 2014 02:21 Found a good deal online on a Pirelli Angel ST front that matched the one on the rear and couldn't pass it up. BAM! I hit the button and ordered it. Got it 3 days later to find out I had ordered a 120/60. :mad: I had…
  3. Went to Honda Demo Ride Day...This followed me Home... 26 Apr 2012 02:24 The 230M came out right after I bought my 230F. . . giving up a 450R (it made more sense for trail riding with my kids). My 230 is fun for trail riding but as soon as the 230M came out I asked myself, "Why didn't they…
  4. Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? 28 Mar 2012 02:54 I absolutely refuse to buy another 6th gen! I have this one set up exactly the way I want it and it only has 26,000 on it. Instead, I'll buy tires, gas, oil and brake pads for a long, long time. This is, without a…
  5. Two Brothers Stash Exhaust 26 Dec 2011 18:28 I've got these on my bike. I actually like the system. It's not terribly loud and I use the dummy can to carry tools. I have no complaints.
  6. Frame slider suggestions? Function over form pls. 20 Oct 2011 00:59 I have personally tested the MotoVation sliders and they work at least as well as advertised. I did have to modify the coolant bottle but they worked. The R&G sliders pictured above seem to mount in the same place so if…
  7. A part of me died tonite 3 Sep 2011 03:42 [image: View Post]Chuckster, on 02 September 2011 - 11:17 AM, said: I felt similar watching someone ride off on my old '86 VFR750. If it's any consolation, I STILL regret selling my '86 VFR750. And I sold it to get a…
  8. Official TEXASMAC 2011 Event Thread, May 19th-22nd 7 Jan 2011 03:17 Lobster Alright...I'm thinking about going! Any of my Northern Peeps gonna join me? BMV? Riv? Ox? Ken? Grond? Dude? Pgreen? I'm in, just haven't hammered out the details. I hope to talk to Trav here shortly and see…
  9. Official TEXASMAC Memorial Ride thread 2010 3 Apr 2010 18:42 Just reserved my room. Trav and I will be trailering down that Thursday. I'm stoked! :cheerleader:
  10. Sargent Seat fitment -- 6th Generation 11 Mar 2010 22:32 Rice Bang on the end of it a little and then turn it over to see where it impacts. Then take a razor blade and scoop some of the material from the seat. That's what I had to do with mine. Good luck. I had to do the same…
  11. Tank Prop Location 27 Jan 2010 06:07 I think the 6th gen manual says to use the spanner wrench, used to adjust the chain tension, in combination with the Honda supplied handle. I have the perfect sized 1" dowel rod, labeled in Sharpie "DO NOT USE" that…
  12. Crank Case Cover Swap 18 Jan 2010 17:48 [image: View Post]monkeyspanner, on 18 January 2010 - 11:58 AM, said: I am swapping out my current crank case cover for a new one, the current one has scratches and minor damage from old as well as some recent…
  13. testride: VFR 1200 F - SC63 13 Jan 2010 23:45 [image: View Post]timmythecop, on 13 January 2010 - 05:55 PM, said: Saw this whilst on patrol in NE Washington DC, and I was moved to take some photos. I wonder what is lurking inside that rig?................ Couldn't…
  14. How would an 86 VFR700 compare to my 2007? 3 Jan 2010 16:28 ..........................I do believe there was a ....slight horsepower difference. :unsure: Well, there was that too. :wheel:
  15. How would an 86 VFR700 compare to my 2007? 3 Jan 2010 15:59 I owned an '86 750 and now own an '03. They are totally different bikes. For one, the '86 is a lot lighter, but as others had said, you're working with 24 year old technology; it is what it was. :wheel: I don't think I…
  16. Man, I like the White VFR1200. 10 Dec 2009 01:40 The first thing I would do is strip the body work and paint it yellow. As long as we're photoshopping around here, how 'bout an idea of what it would look like? :biggrin:
  17. Un-modification 8 Dec 2009 04:34 [image: View Post]PolarBear, on 08 August 2009 - 03:27 PM, said: Make it 5! I removed the 2Bros Stash about three months ago, just too darn loud for me. Prefer stock, and I bought wine with the money I got from the…
  18. Will You Buy Without A Test Ride? 8 Dec 2009 04:16 [image: View Post]kaldek, on 17 October 2009 - 06:10 AM, said: As far as I'm concerned you learn nothing about a bike's long-term capabilities from a short ride. It's just not possible. I beg to differ. I can see that…
  19. HF wheel chock 29 Oct 2009 02:32 [image: View Post]Knife, on 28 October 2009 - 10:25 PM, said: Maybe weld or bolt on a foot lever, like the expensive ones have? Zactly what I was thinking. Know what else I was thinking? I was thinking of going to my…
  20. Going Yellow! 17 Oct 2009 14:49 I can't argue with painting it yellow. The 6th gen was made to be yellow!
  21. So We Don't All Like The Muffler... 10 Oct 2009 02:56 The answer to this question is the GP exhaust that we've all seen on the newer bikes. Dump it out in front of the rear tire, I'm sure it'll be loud, but it'll look COOL!
  22. 2010 Vfr1200f Rhinoplasty 10 Oct 2009 01:18 So far, everyone seems to agree the exhaust is hideous. . . I'm sure the aftermarket already realizes this. The Concours has ugly pipes too when the bags are off and I'm sure there's aftermarket pipes for it (without…
  23. Safety And Color Coordination... 9 Oct 2009 20:23 Once you've made the right decision to get gear, why not make it match? I ride a yellow bike and have yellow on my Honda leathers. It looks cool (kids point like you're a superhero or something) and it's doing its job.…
  24. What Is This Apparantly Optional Hole? 15 Sep 2009 22:26 [image: View Post]dutchinterceptor, on Sep 15 2009, 12:22 AM, said: It's a Canadian thing. :laugh: I vaguely remember this being a Canadian headlight adjustment thing. . . vaguely. You know you have to tear the fairings…
  25. To Buy Back The Salvage Or Not? 19 May 2009 19:22 Poor Becca. . . . I think you should buy it back too. It sounds to me like you have a place to tear it apart and you can easily recoup $1300. Remember, most 6th gen engine parts are identical to 5th gens too.
  26. My Journey Into Custom Paint. 7 Apr 2009 22:33 That is one of the best color combos I have ever seen on a 6th gen! Absolutely gorgeous.
  27. Pelican Case As Side Bags? 2 Feb 2009 22:59 I helped a friend of mine mount some to his NX650 last summer and he loves them. He got his on eBay too. Totally viable option.
  28. New St Tire From Pirelli In 2009 24 Jan 2009 05:29 [image: View Post]CitizenOfDreams, on Jan 24 2009, 12:15 AM, said: I wonder why we haven't seen a tire like this yet... [image: Posted Image] COD, that's frickin' hilarious!
  29. New St Tire From Pirelli In 2009 24 Jan 2009 03:26 Corsa IIIs for me. Besides, who says, "Hey, check out my bitchin' tread pattern! It's got frickin' demons on it man! Demons! Bwwwaaaahhh!" Tread pattern is the last thing I consider when buying a tire. If it's got ANY…
  30. The Eurofication Has Begun 20 Jan 2009 19:56 I'm kind of curious how difficult it was to ship it over there.
  31. Diy Bike Lift. 7 Jan 2009 05:04 I can see myself trying to pull something off like the "redneck lift" not too many years ago. However, I now know how much a small tip over can cost and how easily these things pop off/get scratched/get bent. Not…
  32. Honda Questionaire 17 Dec 2008 03:49 [image: View Post]maddog, on Dec 16 2008, 10:42 PM, said: I never received any sort of questionaire. Is it really from Honda? Maybe they don't care about those of us on the faster yellow ones. :cool: While I agree with…
  33. Honda Questionaire 17 Dec 2008 03:05 I got one with $1 in the envelope too. Mine was for my CRF230 though so my answers were dirt oriented but that didn't stop me from mentioning the VFR. . . It asked for other hobbies and I put "Street Riding? Update the…
  34. How Do I Not Do The Recall? 2 Dec 2008 16:15 FWIW, I just received my second notice of the recall late last week. I'm in the same boat as a lot of others. . . the dealer can't touch my bike. I did the 30 amp upgrade and will be doing the green wire thing soon. I'm…
  35. Frame Slider Effectiveness Thread... Show Us Some Skin (fairing)! 14 Oct 2008 00:42 Here are my pics. Motovation sliders after a short slide down the expressway. . . about 70 mph http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1142126061/gallery_3392_431_168532.jpg DSC04622.JPG…
  36. Empty Connector 23 Sep 2008 02:11 I saw it on mine too before my track day (pulling the headlight fuse). My guess is it's a European connection for heated grips or something, I don't know. However, after seeing it, I wondered if it couldn't be used for…
  37. Rivcyko Bug Buster On Rwb W/picts 23 Sep 2008 02:09 Please tell me you pitched that hat in the garbage, or wiped your chain spooge off with it and then threw it in the trash, or you WILL try to catch the oil from your next oil change in it. :goofy: Signed, Proud owner of…

  40. 2009 Vfr 1200cc ? 18 Sep 2008 02:51 Gun thread coming up. . . . Not that I'm against it, just sayin'
  41. 2009 Vfr 1200cc ? 18 Sep 2008 02:35 Oh hell no! I just put down a deposit on the 1000cc V5 with BNG (bold new graphics for those that don't know)! :goofy:
  42. Why Is It That ! 14 Sep 2008 16:36 Trav, that was hilarious!
  43. Nothing New For '09... 5 Sep 2008 02:21 [image: View Post]shaynej, on Aug 31 2008, 12:21 AM, said: wait just a second... I've got an 09. It's a V5 with 180hp, push button gear selector, traction control, abs, a/c, power steering, 6-disc cd changer, XM radio,…
  44. Hurricane Ride 5 Sep 2008 02:15 Been there and done that on a CBR 600, which doesn't weigh much more than a bicycle :laugh: Been there and done that on my VFR in the mountains, just missed a tornado by blind luck. . . But you're wrong about the…

  46. Simply Can't Do A Burn Out. 27 Aug 2008 01:40 Hell no Poncho. Even taken in context I'm sure that obliterates some sort of rules. :laugh:
  47. Simply Can't Do A Burn Out. 27 Aug 2008 01:21 I can picture the scene: Riv: "Seb, hold my phone. It's on speaker" Seb: "Are you sure you know what you're doin' Trav?" Poncho: "What are you doin', eh?" VFR's gutted exhaust: "Vroom, vroom, vroom, screeeeeeecch!" Seb:…
  48. Lemon Glow The New Vfr 22 Aug 2008 17:45 Damn skippy I own the yellow rights Tim! :laugh: I love my yellow bike. Yes, it is more visable, without a doubt in my mind. I say go for it. But I only say that because I see you live in Mississippi. . . a long, long…
