All 25- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer 10 hours ago, Samuelx I think I'd do something similar to Greg - off-road/dual sport bike like an XR650L or full on ADV/BOB like an Africa Twin... :) +1 I was thinking of selling the VFR and getting an adventure bike,…
- Dunlop Roadsmart 3's I love my Q3's. I'm not Valentino Rossi, but I think they grip and handle way beyond my skill level. Total confidence. I'm at 2500 miles and the rear looks about half and wearing perfectly, front is great. If you do…
- Bar riser questions LucaBrasi, 4/25/2017 at 1:14 PM Just curious - why did you go back to the stock pegs? Just liked them better. The Knight ones were fine, but the position didn't seem to make much difference to me. Maybe I preferred…
- Bar riser questions 5 minutes ago, Beardedboxer I'm guessing you had to adjust brake and shifter then for that drop? It's weird , they don't look like that much of drop. 1 3/8" I didn't change the brake--didn't notice a problem, but then…
- Bar riser questions Beardedboxer, 4/17/2017 at 7:06 PM Thanks for the replies so far. Debating drop down pegs as well. Again not sure on .5 or 1" drop. Decisions.. I've got the Sidetrax version of these in black:…
- Bar riser questions Beardedboxer, 4/17/2017 at 10:48 AM I did lower the seat as I was on my toes with it in the upper position. I haven't ridden it since I lowered the seat however. I feel more comfortable flat footing the thing now.…

- Heli Bars for 8th Gen - need R&D bike Just now, Rambler358 With the MotoPump 1.25" risers, does it just raise the bars up, or does it move the bars back some towards you as well? I guess I'm asking if the MotoPump 1.25" risers will lessen the forward lean…
- Heli Bars for 8th Gen - need R&D bike Rambler358, 7/21/2016 at 5:16 PM How tall are you? I'm 6'1" with a 33" inseam. My aging back could do with a bit less bend while riding. I'm curious why you switch back and forth between the 2 risers? I'm 5'11". I…
- Range of the 8th Gen When I reset the trip meter this morning I was at 48.5 MPG avg after about 500 miles since last reset. Always use 87 octane (and it would generally be E10 although I have a few "pure" stations around here, no E15 around…
- Route and POI suggestions Maryville TN to Dahlonega GA CornerCarver, 6/25/2016 at 0:01 AM Building was vacant last weekedn when I went past there. Hmm, trying to remember when I was there. I think it was maybe October. Seemed to have a good business going that day.…
- Route and POI suggestions Maryville TN to Dahlonega GA Well, I've only done the Dahlonega area once. Can't remember the road numbers, so all I will say is since you have the wife with you, you should stop in Helen GA for the night. It will remind you of Gatlinburg about 30…
- Screen removal / replacement instructions You know, when I first saw this thread recently I thought, I must be the rare one that actually finds the stock screen to be perfect, at least as far as comfort and no buffetting. I was reluctant to change for fear of…
- Heli Bars for 8th Gen - need R&D bike 12 hours ago, Alan553 i hear you...i had the heli bars on my 92 ST1100, swing forward, backwars, change tilt, up down...they were great and the swap was easy, there was plenty of room...but after putting the motopump…
- Heli Bars for 8th Gen - need R&D bike Alan553, 6/17/2016 at 9:21 PM I have he 1.25 inch risers, I can't imagine Heli doing much more on this bike, any higher and the brake and clutch reservoir will hit the windscreen on a full turn. I don't have the…
- Tires! 11 hours ago, Exup Dont think you will go wrong with any of these. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/EzcgeHLZMvw?feature=oembed] Thanks, that was great. And thanks everyone else! Sounds like I will probably be happy…
- Tires! I'm only at about 3500 miles on my stock Dunlops, but on the rear I notice the indicators near the center are getting very close... The edges are great. The front is wearing more in the center, too, but still looks…

- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 14 minutes ago, Tbone322 Just installed my Akro yesterday. ... One thing I found was that the specified torque on the muffler clamp seemed like it was over tightening it. Did anyone else feel this? Yep, I kept looking…
- Vfr1200X Us Bound! Finally saw one of these in the flesh. I wouldn't have been buying one this year, but I was definitely interested. Not anymore. At 5'11" I couldn't get my heels down. Too bad...maybe Africa Twin. Gonna look longingly at…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Well, after 9 months with my 14, I went with the Akropovic. Beautiful craftsmanship. Finally got to ride with it a little today, and I couldn't be happier. It's been said it is not much louder. That is true, but the…
- DLX Options 9 hours ago, Bent I guess that makes me "almost no one." That's OK. Hey, sorry. Not very considerate of me. Actually all of us are "almost no one", but like you said, that is ok. It was just my anecdotal observation.
- DLX Options Shinigami, 5/3/2016 at 10:36 AM I suspect there are a lot more people who would regret the base model than the other way 'round. I think so, too. Everyone knows the 8th gen has been a slow seller in the US, but…
- Back From The Dead Greetings from Chattanooga. Lots of good roads over there? If you come over to the mountains send me a PM and maybe I can ride with you guys I want to find some VFR fans that want to go to MotoAmerica at Barber,…
