- Gen 5 Track Day? MooseMoose; thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts. First, let me say I am a small bike rider growing up with a pair of RD 350's, a Kaw 400 triple, and various 2 stroke dirt bikes. About 16 yrs ago I did my…
- Gen 5 Track Day? Thanks for the replies. I am reading and rereading them. Grattan has a long straight, various radius configurations , off camber, significant elevation changes, and simply has it all. Stray; you pretty much nailed my…
- Gen 5 Track Day? Just for fun I'm thinking of doing a trackday later this year on my Gen 5. The intent is learn more about handling this VFR which just can't be done on the street. It's been awhile since I did trackdays but did so on an…
- 86 VFR Questions 5 hours ago, evl_twn You still got a sold starting point though. That pretty much sums up the evaluation and the decision to proceed. Enough of the crucial core requirements were met. Thanks for the input
- 86 VFR Questions Pulled trigger on deal but not at asking price of 4K. No way could it rate 5K The beauty was only skin deep and actually it's saving grace. Bodywork and seat in great condition. It had come out of a collection located…

- 86 VFR Questions Captain 80's...........What a beauty!!!!!! Not a skinflint myself....you get what you pay for....hopefully. A couple of bucks is trivial if the overall bike is in great condition. Tomorrow will tell....hope I can sleep…

- 86 VFR Questions Thanks for the input. Without damage all the way around. Supposedly never tracked or raced but built and sorted out by a racer and used as a weekend rider. 2000 era CBR suspension upgrades Hindle exhaust system I would…

- Luggage Rack Options Of course some time has past here but while I was setting up another bike early this year I found Hepco Becker makes side and top racks for the Gen 5's. I have just gotten around to my Gen 5 and ordered the side rack…
- What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? Thanks guys for this thread and replies. I have been running dualsports for decades where the job of fitting panniers (I use a Motofizz top bag) has been a cakewalk compared to figuring out what to do with my new to me…
- 84 VF 750 Tires? Thanks for that. Haven't made a purchase yet, will check them out.
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) New to group and I am about to embark on my own 1984 VF 750 rehab. This one is fairly decent to start with and has a few issues but who knows what lurks beneath. My first priorities are the oil mod kit, cams, and…
- 84 VF 750 Tires? Thanks for the input. Going over bike for warts and potential time bombs so it will be ready to go for spring. Given that it is 30+ years old there is plenty of maintenance to perform. Steve
- 84 VF 750 Tires? New here and i am about to pick up a new to me 84 VF750. Seems to be decent but needs new tires. So which do I choose bias or radial; Pilot Activ vs Battleax. Partial to Michelin but i am also open minded. Suggestions?
