Last 50 of 128- 2014 vfr800 deluxe Hello. It's time to sell my bike. 2014 vfr800 deluxe. 53,000 miles. Full bags, lithium battery, bar risers, ixil exhaust, new tires last year, garmin GPS, kaoko throttle lock, givi touring windshield, k&n air filter,…
- I am going to shut down vfrd soon Thanks for keeping it up so long. Take care! Is the fall ride still happening? If so, I'd like to suggest that everyone who can make it, please go. It would be awesome to have a big group for the last vfrd meetup.
- First Aid Kits I keep one in my car's glovebox, and one in my bike's top case. I'm on the first aid team at work. It's a simple kit. Some trauma bandages, some tape, blood clotting agent, gloves, etc. What you carry really isn't that…
- Lifting to centerstand Btw, there no shame in asking someone else to stand on the other side of the bike and spot you til you feel comfortable doing it by yourself.
- Lifting to centerstand I have a few tips to go along with what everyone else said. Use the ball of your foot. You have more power there. Wear boots. I use my passenger footpeg bracket for my hand to grip. I use my knee against the bike for…
- Rear Rack suggestions for a 2014 VFR 36 minutes ago, Skids And the Crossrunner 😉 Wish I could get a crossrunner......
- Rear Rack suggestions for a 2014 VFR I have the factory rack. Btw it's the same rack for the seventh generation vfr1200 as the eighth gen vfr800.
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal I take off the calipers, but don't touch the sensor. You are also supposed to replace the caliper bolts every time, but I don't. But definitely bounce the front end a bit to ensure proper alignment, and use a torque…
- Last of V4 Sport Tourers Vfr800's? They couldn't even sell the ones they made. Why would they ever make more?
- Honda announce VFR “replacement” My friend rides a bmw 1200. I've rode it. Nice bike. He says bmw stands for buy more warranty.
- Quick Poll: Are you using Chain Lube or Chain Paste? It doesn't matter. You can use pam cooking spray if you want. Spend less time worrying about the small stuff, and more time riding.
- I sold my panniers: Buyer wants to make a duplicate of my ignition key. Heres how to get at the locks. My suggestion would be to remove the locks for him. Making a copy of the key is not needed if the locks are out. He can re-use your lock insert, and just needs to order and install the…
- I sold my panniers: Buyer wants to make a duplicate of my ignition key. They are blank lock bodies. You key them yourself. The key number is not engraved in them. He's not going to steal your bike. But you can pop the lock bodies out for him, and he can re-key them. It's cheap and easy.
- Windshield extender thingie? Mra makes the real deal version. I bought a Chinese knockoff to try it out first. I tried it on both the factory windscreen, and the longer givi touring screen. Took it off and gave it away. Did not like it. The one in…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? 3 hours ago, VFR4Me I tipped it over in the garage today while driving onto the dolly... rear tire must have not been lined up good enuf and I caught the edge and over we went. Threw a leg out, but that pig had other…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... Your bike, do what you want. But it's bad practice to make more mods while in the middle of diagnostic testing for existing problems.
- What did you do to your VFR Today? This pic is from yesterday. Today I took the givi windscreen off, and put the stock one back on. edit: I put the givi back on after a few rides.[image: IMG_20211009_142742.jpg]
- Maybe sport tourers are not Dead? 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 MSRP: $11,299 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT MSRP: $13,149 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+ MSRP: $13,799
- Maybe sport tourers are not Dead? I like it, but I don't think they will sell well. Maybe I'll buy one on clearance in a few years when my vfr is ready to retire. The real question is how happy can you be with an inline 4 after years of riding a Honda…
- OEM Quick Shifter Clutchless shifting is effortless. I just don't see the need for a device to do the same thing. :wink: A hundredth of a second of shifting isn't going to matter compared to a Tesla that can put down 0-60 in 2 seconds…
- OEM Quick Shifter I guess I don't get the quick shifter. What does it really do when you can just do clutchless upshifts anyway?
- Honda announce VFR “replacement” Fools! Vfr can't be replaced by a parallel twin!
- Is this a good deal? I bought my 2014 deluxe brand new for a grand more than this used one. I'd say you could do better. It's not like there is a huge demand for used VFR's.
- Wtb 8th gen left pannier Just putting it out there. If anyone ever has just a left side pannier for their 8th gen, I'll buy it.
- A Fuel Efficient Beast Gen 8 is. People who don't understand the importance of fuel efficiency and range have never ridden so far out there that if they ran out of gas they would die trying to walk back to civilization.
- Sorry Ive neglected my duties Thanks for doing what you do, and for giving us this space to talk and learn about our VFR's.

- What did you do to your VFR Today? 22 minutes ago, VFR4Me I rode it to/ from work in 100° weather... wish I would have worn my mesh pants today instead of my non vented pants over my jeans...ugh If it's over 95°f, the airflow thru the mesh will make you…
- Can I disable 'always-on' headlights in the wiring loom - 6th Gen Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Just leave it alone.

- Just curious, so when does you riding season typically end Grum, 2/20/2021 at 8:54 PM Yuk! Do the benefits really outweigh the cost to the environment etc, and heaven forbid......a rusted out VFR? :ohmy: [image: IMG_0328.JPG] I just love that wrap!!!
- Picking new cylinder wall material need help I guess I'm in the minority here, but I have to ask. Why? Why must everyone change everything? Can't you just ride the bike and enjoy it? Not trying to be mean or a smartass. I just don't get it. Isn't the vfr is a…
- Countershaft oil seal - b@stard thing! 4 hours ago, Stray Gents, do you really think it’s worth splitting the cases (which is effectively a full disassembly and reassembly job) just to replace one seal? Yes, but replace all the other seals and gaskets while…
- Countershaft oil seal - b@stard thing! Engine is already out and on the bench? Split it and fix it right!
- The King is dead, Long live the King. There are plenty of VFR's out there. You will never have a problem finding a VFR if you want one. They might even make new ones again someday.

- A beautiful VFR that may be better than 2019 Japan RWB Wait, hold up a second. Wtf is up with the bmw logos on the pic!?!
- A beautiful VFR that may be better than 2019 Japan RWB Way too many stickers. The vfr is about understated beauty.
- Just curious, so when does you riding season typically end My VFR us too nice to ride on salted roads. Cold won't stop me, but the salt does.
- Picture Thread 4 hours ago, Cogswell That seems so typical of Honda - some way - whether through design or materials selection of whatever, they just don't seem to wear out! I would love it if there was a delivery rider or similar…
- Top 7 dorkiest motorcycles..... It's just comedy, fellas 😉
- Top 7 dorkiest motorcycles..... Yammie noob released a video today listing the top 7 dorkiest motorcycles. Guess what the first bike on his list of ultimate nerd bikes was? 🙂
- Windchill 2020 winter 1 hour ago, TimC No heated gear for me, but my new bike came with heated grips (which I should have installed on my VFR years ago) and a Powerlet, so maybe at some point I'll get a heated vest or jacket. I can do my…
- Windchill 2020 winter I have a heated jacket and gloves. I'll ride in any temp, as long as the roads are clear.
