All 49- Ventura Bike Pack I sold my bike so lots to sell. First up is ventura bike back, sells new for $459 , shipped to you for $250 [image: IMG_2658.JPG.0d6701b658791817ea6ceef972909c2a.JPG][image:…
- Am I the only one who didn't know... My CTX1300 2014 did this too, kinda helps to not stall it.
- Any New Frame Sliders? One word of caution, I was reinstalling mine after an oil change ( you have to remove them to access the one clip on the cover ) and was using my electric driver to get them snug before torquing and was holding the…
- Clear Clutch Window 21 hours ago, 3dcycle please let me know how the white holds up, mine is not liking the heat or oil or both and is yellowing :( Did you paint or powder coat ?
- Clear Clutch Window Well I just installed my clutch window on my 2014 VFR , wow, so happy. I was unwilling to take any down time so I spent the $210 to buy a new right side case cover. I'll probably put it on ebay at some point but I will…
- Picture Thread GatorGreg, 6/29/2017 at 1:22 AM I agree , many times I do things to avoid putting myself in harms way that could be ticketed for , I will always speed past a 18 wheeler, not getting killed by a retread coming off. There…

- Picture Thread I'm pretty sure that strobing lite will get you a ticket.
- Tires! 5 hours ago, Thumbs Me too I have same issues on car, bought Michelin pilot sports I think with a 45k warranty , at 17k I'm getting near warning bars.
- Paint Code 4 hours ago, Thumbs It was common practice to put different base coats on before the top colour coat ... I'd try that sprayed over a black base coat, a bit of trial and error and you should end up somewhere near right I…
- Tires! 01ragtop, 6/20/2017 at 8:53 PM In this case, the RS is the Michelin Power RS. Another linear tire is the Bridgestone S21. Those appear to be not sport touring ? I'm looking at the pirelli angel or GT I think. I found a…
- Picture Thread Rambler358, 12/11/2016 at 8:17 PM I've got the Honda quickshifter, and yes I'd buy it again. Had one once, found I can blip the throttle about just as fast , really un necessary IMO. There is no magic in them, just…
- VFR in WV One nice bike there parked next to a PIG, I mean a HOG , whatever, LOL
- Tires! 01ragtop, 6/17/2017 at 5:12 AM That wasn't aimed directly at me, but since I share the opinion: The RS is a bit slower than the PP3, but it is far more linear. It gives that dial-a-lean feel. The PP3 has a more…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy still waiting for mine to arrive here in TX .
- Getting back in the saddle. Harley riders dont even use front brakes. I won't even discuss riding skills with them.
- Tires! 14 hours ago, DriverDave Standard is fine unless you spend most of your time riding 2up. And the FJR is about 100 lbs more than the VFR. Nope , the wife rarely rides with me. I figured the A spec would harshen the ride.
- Tires! I'm not sure if it's been covered or not but on the pirelli angel gt do we get the A spec or regular ? They mention the fjr1300 as needing the A spec but that bike is almost 600 pounds , so not sure were the vfr falls ,…
- Any New Frame Sliders? T REX sells them on ebay all day long, got mine there so pay no attention to their web site , someone is not up to speed on updates. I ordered a replacement puck from them and their shipping guy sent me a whole new set…
- Man I really am loving this bike 20 hours ago, GatorGreg Wow, you're very lucky to have not been more seriously injured! Sounds like the VFR is much more suited to your style of riding. Good helmet that took a hit , good joe rocket jacket , and kevlar…
- Man I really am loving this bike 34 minutes ago, crakerjac I wish I could slap those plastics and headlight on my 1200... Head lights work great EXCEPT in a turn with lean , they shine up and down too much, their horizontal plane is too narrow IMO . My…
- Man I really am loving this bike 14 hours ago, GatorGreg Yeah I'm really loving mine too! For a bike that came out in 2014 it still LOOKS like the latest greatest high-tech supersport with its LED lights, fancy wheels and swoopy fairings - the chicks…
- Man I really am loving this bike I ride to work every chance I get , I just can't get enough of this bike. I think it has alot to due with the mistake of buying the honda CTX1300 , I got to the point I dreaded riding it and when it was totaled I was…
- Getting back in the saddle. Noles, 6/5/2017 at 8:47 PM Thanks for bringing this up. i didnt even know about the suspension adjustment. A salesman downplayed the ABS on the phone today. Has that been a good feature in your experience? SO far I have…
- Getting back in the saddle. 2 hours ago, Noles I saw them in a link but i don't think they have any left with the ABS. Do you think it is worth saving the money going with the base model? The problem is you can't add ABS/TC after the fact. Center…
- Incognito Bent, 6/3/2017 at 6:59 AM I've owned 2 BMW's and they were very good motorcycles for me. I beat on them just like my Hondas and they don't care. In many regards they're better bikes but in summary, about the same…
- Getting back in the saddle. I paid $8500 new for my 14 deluxe and cost me $900 and change for bags. So this comes down to what is a 1yr new warranty worth to you ? Plus it has about $250 in sliders on it. Seems like a good price to me . I came…
- Paint Code 23 hours ago, Rectaltronics That reminds me, I had searched hi and lo for wheel weights that would at least come close to matching the wheels outta the box but no luck. It was a good place to test my touch up paint.…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 11 hours ago, NZCam Monday morning mail-run is away. Thank you to everyone who has sent through prompt payment, your package is on its' way. US: 10 Canada: 2 UK: 1 Sweden: 1 Unpaid orders: 6 Available tidies: 14 Thank…
- Paint Code rckrzy1, 5/26/2017 at 4:54 PM well stupic paint place sent me a lexus opal peral kit, sorta purple with pearl. They are re sending right color. man that color they sent was hideous. Well the Bmw pyrite brown is way…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Got my pp invoice and sent money right away. Can't wait to get it.
- missing radiator screws ? While on topic , how do you access radiator cap ? I'd like to add water wetter which always seems to help my bikes.
- missing radiator screws ? OK, looking over my new bike, besides missing the clips to hold down o ring for tool bag it looks like the there is supposed to be screws on radiator guard on top ? Please LMK if there is something supposed to be there…
- Paint Code well stupic paint place sent me a lexus opal peral kit, sorta purple with pearl. They are re sending right color. man that color they sent was hideous.
- Incognito 11 hours ago, Woodie Why? I've had 2 Triumphs, my second on 30K miles without missing a beat. Whereas my 20K mile Honda has had an engine replaced, and many electrical gremlins. Only thing that ever went wrong on my…
- Close out sales 14' and 15' 3 hours ago, LucaBrasi Yes BUT - I paid $7,310 but there are a few things to keep in mind. That didn't include shipping to my house (which I wanted but won't effect you). and because I'm in IL there is no tax…
- Incognito 35 minutes ago, jhenley17 It's a joke, I doubt anyone is going to think he really wants to pretend to have BMW. Now if I velcro some empty paint cans and mount them off the fairing to imitate the boxer. Again it was for…
- Paint Code I found this code YR-325M pyrite brown metalic for a 2015 BMW , I have ordered some touch up and see how close it is.
- Incognito 4 minutes ago, Grum Sure they will notice you, it will be the best looking bike there. Think they will wonder were I got the BMW interceptor ? You did notice my tank badge ? [image:…
- Incognito I'm attending the Top of the rockies rally in CO in July , its run by the nice folks in the BMW club, so you think anyone will notice ? [image: 4EB7035F-6198-4035-816A-63B5C3C8CAD8_zps]
- 8G Clear Clutch Cover Thumbs, 5/20/2017 at 6:50 AM That's a Thurn cover. http://www.thurn-motorsport.de/html/vfr.html They don't weld the case so no damage to cover colour, I checked with Gerhard before I had mine done about this Not too…
- 8G Clear Clutch Cover Switchblade, 11/29/2015 at 8:27 AM 8G ? [image: $_57.JPG] Ahh found it , looks good. Ok, so who did the powder coat that matched so nice or is it paint ? Either way I've searched like crazy and no luck finding an exact…
- Is my bike too &@#%ing loud? Some people feel the need to Justify why they spent 3 or 4 times what others did on the same type of product. I think the mini carbon is too much for me, but that's me, I went with the 13" tri oval , TO EACH HIS OWN.…
- Sprocket change 32 minutes ago, Beardedboxer Because I feel it's a little more geared for highway . I don't think it needs anything drastic , just a little more oomph . Ok, I would not do to gas mileage going down on long trips which I…
- Sprocket change Beardedboxer, 5/5/2017 at 7:26 PM Has anyone done a front or rear sprocket upgrade? I was debating down one upfront or two up in back. Why ? The VFR seems to be about perfect gearing. The only bike I ever changed was a…
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer I'd say get a red VFR to go with the white . But since I'm still in my honey moon phase with my new VFR I may be biased. 2 bikes ago I had a 2010 street triple R with every option from triumph, arrow full exhaust,…
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! DriverDave, 5/1/2017 at 6:20 PM Glad to see you're stepping up to the Deluxe. Worth the extra cost, in my opinion. But that's still a great price. I didn't on my CTX1300 and regretted it, I would have paid the extra…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I'd be in for one
- New 8th gen - $6,500!! Bent, 11/5/2016 at 9:20 AM Could it be a slow selling bike because it has NEVER been marketed? People will buy ANYTHING if it's marketed. Just look at this election about to come to an end....finally. Ok new here but…
