Last 50 of 142- What did you do to your VFR Today? 5 hours ago, chutta Being tired of mistakenly hitting the horn rather than the turn signals due to the reversed switch placement, I clocked the control position up about 20-30 degrees, putting the signal switch in the…
- OEM Quick Shifter 6 minutes ago, Sparkie I guess I don't get the quick shifter. What does it really do when you can just do clutchless upshifts anyway? I don't think I've ever tried - can you upshift without the clutch while keeping the…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? 4 hours ago, lplplplp "Although this line "tiny Moto3 grand prix bike create more drag in the air than a Chevrolet Suburban" suggests the author doesn't understand Cd."…
- Antisocial Riding 18 hours ago, Skids Yeah, but i bet all of those involved were breathing too so could you say that breathing could be a contributory factor? Of course not. Just because they were at a speed does not mean speed was a…
- Antisocial Riding I definitely believe speed is a significant contributing factor. The faster you go, the less time you have to react/respond and the less margin you have for error. I had a close call awhile back where I almost T-boned…
- Highway 1 FUBAR'd again! yup!

- VTEC Mod 4 hours ago, DannoXYZ Running all 4-valves full-time gives horrible low-end. Have you done it or know someone who has?
- The stages of motorcycle ownership 4 hours ago, Sparkie When someone gets their first bike, they are always so excited. They just love it and want to make it their own. I agree with this part! 😉
- Good chance I'm leaving VFRD - bike was stolen last week Sorry to hear that Rollos, I hope the scumbags responsible get their just deserts and soon!

- This might be a nice, VFR alternative..... If Honda would add a gallon of gas capacity to the VFR1200 and lose 60 lbs, I would be in for one - even if it doesn't look as cool (IMO) as the Ninja...
- VFR1200 Project Bike Awesome work!!!
- What did you do to your VFR Today? 1 hour ago, Skids Yup. Guilty as charged, M'lud. :laugh: You can't seriously enjoy riding in these temps? It's like someone is stood in front of you with a huge hairdryer, blowing hot air all over you. Which is fine…
- Don't try this at home . . . That front tire wear and wear pattern would definitely be concerning to me. I remember reading a discussion and/or article on car vs motorcycle tires and wheels and something about the beads and lips being different…
- Skyline Drive, US 250, and motorcycle touring during a pandemic Stunters gonna stunt! haha jk Glad you made it back safe!
- White or black wheels on 2014 VFR 800 You know I think I prefer the white! Although what I'd really want are the wheels off of a 2018+ CB1000R... [image: DWPMA6MRPBEVVLDC57LMPQX2X4.jpg]
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 12 hours ago, sfdownhill If one is lucky enough to take the two motorcycles in question - Hammerdrill’s 6 gen and Samuelx’s 8 gen - out for a 100 miles or so that includes a bit of city surface streets, a bit of…

- Jelorian's Racing Pics Adding to my wallpaper slideshow folder, thanks gentlemen! Also IMO, 1991 Suzuka 500gp race - one of the best ever!
- New Potential Owner; could use some input That's Da Kine braddah! To be able to settle down in a forever home on Oahu (or Maui or Kauai or Hawaii or you get the idea), I'd be happy to trade my VFR in for a Grom! :D
- Bike vs. car in the twisties Great choice Tim, my Accord is basically the same color! 🙂
- Bike vs. car in the twisties At the pinnacle - F1 vs MotoGP, F1 wins and it's not even close. That being said, IMO, it takes more skill to ride a bike fast than drive a car fast...

- Does 8 gen have this? Ditto, thanks Grum, thanks SF!
- rode to broken hill, vfr caught fire Hang in there Man, got to be some good things waiting for you around the next corner!

- 8th Gen Speed bleeders SF didn't mention any problems during install so I'm assuming the parts #'s that were emailed to me (and that I ordered) were correct...
- 8th Gen Speed bleeders SFDownhill was kind enough to install mine for me a few months ago (I apologize, I don't remember if Duc4V helped him or not, if so, thanks too Duc!). I haven't had to use them since then. I posted the part numbers…

- Anybody finding the bronze wheels a little tame? I could live with any of the three (bronze, black, or white) but what I'd personally really like would be to install the wheels from a newer CB1000R... [image: honda-cb1000r-plus.webp?v=4]

- What did you do to your VFR Today? Hail Caesar! Is 'semper ubi sub ubi' part of ATGATT? ;)
- Secondary "kill" switch 1 hour ago, Marvelicious But a 22? That seems extremely unwise... If you are going to shoot someone for stealing your bike, the last thing you want is them surviving to take the witness stand against you! hahahaha
- Brake issue assessment. Would you agree with my conclusion? I don't know if this would be feasible/practical, but what about swapping out the entire rear caliper with a unit that is known to be working properly?
