Last 50 of 103- CHP officers 'helping' a motorcyclist to comply when he peacefully stops after a pursuit Is that Waheed doing a test ride?
- 8th (deluxe w/saddle bags) gen For Sale $7,500 Is anyone interested in my VFR, posted locally and no serious interest so far. Are people more into watching YT these days vs getting out there into riding or did the stimulus checks run out? Weird. Sold!! Bitter-sweet…
- Chief Joseph Scenic Byway - 2011 Yea My memories of that road from 2016 are extremely positive. I don’t remember seeing lots tar snakes or traffic maybe cause I was busy doing triple digits 🙂 My picture is from Chief Joseph
- Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 1 hour ago, Wald I guess, my opinion will not qualify since I am running not very popular Shinko 011 verge on my '97. These tires stick pretty well, not sensitive to tar snakes (which we have a lot here in central CT) I…
- I have a difficult choice to make! Since you plan to ride a lot, and you do two-up riding, you have to figure out what type of riding you will do and which bike is the most comfortable doing it. The beemer is the versatile machine of the bunch and it…
- Antisocial Riding 4 hours ago, DannoXYZ Note that U.S. has some of best road-infrastructures out there on average. More miles of flat, clean highways than anyone else. Our speed-limits are also amongst lowest for amount of open-road…
- I like my 8 th gen VFR , but.................. I think 8th gen sounds good until you compare to 6th gen, followed by 5/4th gens. For now, Akrapovic with a silencer is the best sounding for me. It produces a little more pronounced low rpm rumble without being too…
- Coolant level A flashlight can help pointing it at the Rez from a side.
- 8th gen: Heated Grips Ops Question Thanks, Grum.
- 8th gen: Heated Grips Ops Question My deluxe friends, can you check if my heated grips are operating ok. So when, you turn on the bike and press the heated grips button (regardless of the heat setting) how many times does the grip indicator flash? For…
- 2014 VFR 800 CDN Model - Is the OEM Akrapovic Honda Slip On Part #08F88-MJM-917 2015-2020 Compatible? I have my akrapovic exhaust for sale if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264930349743
- Top 7 dorkiest motorcycles..... I think people take youtubers too seriously. Their opinion is as good as mine. It’s just somebody’s opinion so that we can shoot some shit. I did not watch it but I see that Honda 700nx or whatever is on it. Is dorky?…
- Another 100,000-mile 6th gen! Congrats! 100K is definitely celebration worthy! Way to go; it must have been hard to keep maintaining and sticking with your “old” machine throughout the years while seeing other new bikes on the market. Congrats for…
- Another Epic Ride 15 hours ago, Lorne Thanks for sharing the story of your trip. This year's pandemic put paid to my trip this year, so I have to live vicariously through others'. I think it’s fine to go if you follow the same…
- Leftover 2014 VFR 800 with 1km I would not worry about the tires. If it was stored inside and mostly on the center stand; ride on. Those OEM will wear off in 4k and you can but your favorite tire.
- VFR Power to Weight Only 20lbs in 37 years-doing good, man! 🤪
- BIKES THAT ARE NOT VFR's RIDE REPORT 1 hour ago, TimC Was curious about what's out there for Honda STs right now, and while searching online last night I unbelievably found a still *new* 2012 ST1300 ABS for sale at a dealer shop in PA. It's not uncommon to…
- Another Epic Ride Lots of them on the wildlife loop. Happy prairie dog’s Father’s Day!
- Laid Off. Time to take a ride Sorry to hear that; I am in the same bot so I feel you. Please do take the ride and take care of yourself.. Once you get a job, you wish you had the time to ride! It sucks hearing about all the layoffs and the economic…
- RWB Farewell tour RWB w/ white rims is my favorite looking VFR of all.
- Another Epic Ride 8 hours ago, TimC Great story and photos - thanks for sharing them! My wife and one of our sons drove through some of those areas a couple summers ago. They said I would love the roads there. I'm looking forward to…
- Another Epic Ride 50 minutes ago, Goldcrown44 Looks like you had an amazing trip! Curious how cold it was when near all that snow... and if you had to camp near it. What would you say were your riding temperature extremes? I have the…
- New Potential Owner; could use some input 18 hours ago, TimTheTechie At the moment no. I had a Street Triple R, but I wanted to get into the sport touring scene so I bought an old FZ6 with side bags and a top case. That worked for a while, but I wanted to get…
- Pirelli ST 6000 MI Report How did the tire feel near the end 4-6k of life?
- Another Epic Ride Lost a job recently so decided to spend some quality time on my moto. Took a 3 day tour of SD/WY, solo keeping a generous 6+feet distance from most individuals and animals (luckily) Day 1, left Denver and arrived Hot…
- Triumph's 900cc "T-Plane" triple... This engine sounds familiar! Sounds good; I like it. Now, I wonder if it's smooth like the VFR? If so, we have a potential contender for VFR replacement.
- Akrapovic - Baffle In or Baffle Out? 2 hours ago, signal So do you have to drill to get it out, or can you just remove the screw and pull it out? It’s a screw.
- Akrapovic - Baffle In or Baffle Out? My baffle is in Akrapovic. I prefer a quieter exhaust so I like the Akrapovic for that it’s not too loud. However, there is no aftermarket exhaust on the 8th gen that would make it sound like deep tone on the 6th gen…
- Pilot Road 2 clearance 2 hours ago, Blesk WOAH! Where did you find that deal?!?! I usually switch up to touring tires in the winter. All over Ebay and Amazon now, I think.
- Pilot Road 2 clearance Dutch, Are those ST or GT? I see a pair of STs for $200 which sounds like a deal based on reviews.
- Pilot Road 2 clearance It was a good tire but, let’s be honest, there are newer and just as good or better tires for less money. No need to buy 5+ year old tires and hope they have need stored properly. And the rubber gets hard regardless of…
- Help me tell her no . . . $8,500 from a dealer is a very fair price. Those bags alone are like $2,000. I’d say do it! This bike will keep you happy for many years. Not that 6th gen couldn’t but it will require lots of maintenance.
- Say it isn't so! 3 hours ago, Calculon I would look closely at a Crossrunner if it were here in the US. I don't find them to be a particularly attractive bike but I love the V4 in my Interceptor and would like to have the same motor in…
- Say it isn't so! Adventure style bikes are selling well or better than sport touring bikes in US. So I’m a little surprised that Honda did not bring the cross runner into US. Their 2 flagship bikes (Goldwing & AT) is where their focus…
- BIKES THAT ARE NOT VFR's RIDE REPORT I’ve always like ST Sprint, looks and sounds wicked. Triple headlights and tailpipes. Nice!
- VFR800 Sound Track from Phillip Island Great riding- nice and smooth controls. And that sound!
- Happy New Year! I’m back! Bags are expensive, $900 at least. Other things are cheap but nice additions. Moose thing must be the batter tender.
- Happy New Year! I’m back! It’s a beauty. Those Michelins should serve you well in the torrential rains of FL.
- Month long ride out West That’s a trip of a lifetime! I’m in Denver, CO. Keep me posted, maybe things will align. I’d love to ride with you for a little while..
- Thanks VFRD! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Merry Christmas and Happy NY!
- Coolant Change Changed the coolant draining only the water pump plug. I got about a little over 2 quarts. That’s about 80% of the coolant capacity. I think I’m content with that, if I change every other year going forward. Despite it…
- Coolant Change I do, and I see in the picture what it looks like. I removed the right side fairing but I still don’t see it. I actually see a what I think is the cylinder head drain but I’m not certain, and it looks the like access to…
- Coolant Change That might be what I end up doing doing. How do you drain the coolant reservoir tank?
- Coolant Change Hi! Has anyone done the coolant change on their 8th gen? I can't find the cylinder head drain plug. Does draining it lead to much additional coolant loss? I wonder if I could getaway draining only the water pump plug?…
- New bike! Normally, black color seems to hide the lines. But it looks good in pics and I think might be even better in person. Why does Honda dis not bring this color to US is beyond me?!
- Lithium Ion Battery 2 hours ago, Marvelicious Yep... See, that's the kind of thing that I know I'll never get in the habit of doing, which is why I'm still running lead. Probably fine for people who routinely use a trickle charger, but I'm…
- An unintentional off-road ride with a VFR A little bit of adventure! I know the stress of keeping the bike upright and worrying about any damage to the bike. This where a proper adventure bike would have been so much better!
- Between 2 Jobs Epic Ride (Sep 1-18) Nice report: enjoy reading about different beautiful roads and sights! Enjoys this once in the lifetime opportunity!
- BIKES THAT ARE NOT VFR's RIDE REPORT FZ6 was also a bike I wanted really bad for my 2nd bike. It looked good, sounded good, and like 6th gen, which I ended up getting, had the sexy under seat exhaust! Sounds like a great bike for sure!
- Once in my work-life ride.... 1. In SD, what is worth the ride is the Needles Highway, just make sure it’s during the weekday. 2. In MT/WY, I hope you’re not missing the Chief Joseph. It connects Beartooth hwy to Cody, WY. 3. From Craig, Co make…
