All 30- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. Sunde Picking the bike up next Friday Pretty hyped [image: emoji846.png] The ECU is fitted underneath the tank i assume? Have already been in contact with Sabsteef ECU tuning (Stefan) and plan to do the remote tuning to…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. 2011 model is without a “sophisticated TC”, correct. Instead there is a rather more rudimentary electronic ‘power restriction’ fitted in standard form to 1st, 2nd (and possibly 3rd?) gears. Speed freaks will notice it…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. Sunde Hi guys, i currently ride a lovely GSX-S1000 (but have owned a VFR800F which was lovely) I adore the engine on my Suzuki and the way it handles, but i'v got to admit i miss having a bike that i can just ride, and…
- What did you do with your VFR1200 today? Skids The reflash is cheaper than PC + Maps/dyno, I think by more than 50%. There are links to both Guhl and Sebsteef in my sig block, try contacting them. When the time comes I will for sure give them a shout and pull…
- What did you do with your VFR1200 today? Skids The Helibars on mine are definitely worth it, they saved the bike for me as it was becoming increasingly difficult to ride for long periods with the strain on my wrists and back. Rather than decat and PC, have you…
- What did you do with your VFR1200 today? Skids Looks good with matching paint. Cheers mate [emoji1362] Yeah the mismatched topbox in black just made the bike look a bit strange IMO. Took me far too long to get around to getting it painted but super chuffed…
- What did you do with your VFR1200 today? ...seen as I’m not likely to be touring anytime soon (thanks corona virus [emoji19]) I removed the top box hanger. Liking the look of the bike without it on TBH [emoji57][emoji1362] [image:…
- What did you do with your VFR1200 today? Decided to get my luggage resprayed the other week.. the panniers were flaking paint since I got the bike 2yrs ago due to a dodgy respray earlier in their lives and the 45ltr top box was black. Now all looking much more…
- My first VFR! 1x NR750 alongside the VFR12F would be enough for me. After all, I don’t wanna be seen to be too greedy eh... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- About to Laraza66 Thanks for the info, will check on the recall especially. It's a manual and comes with the luggage and heated grips. it's coming via a dealer who will be doing the valve check service before it comes to me (I…
- About to Laraza66 Hi All, I'm about to pull the trigger on an 2013 1200 in black with 18k miles on the clock, is there anything that I should be looking for aside from the usual service history etc? Also, will I need to reflash…
- VFR1200F Production Volume vfrflanders Google and VFROC (Dutch VFR forum) Thx I’ll check it out [image: emoji1360.png] I’m not one to believe everything Wikipedia tells the world (rarely are things error free) but the VFR12F is listed on there as…
- VFR1200F Production Volume vfrflanders To give you an idea: 3624 F's in the UK 1825 F's in the US Production of the F stopped in 2013 (although you can find "later" model years) Production of the X stopped in 2015 (although you can find "later"…
- VFR1200F Production Volume vfrflanders When Honda did a recall for the driveshaft (for all F and X types between 2010 and 2015), the total number was around 30.000 worldwide. I don't know how many X or F types were involved. Ooohhh.. that’s an…
- VFR1200F Production Volume Darrenk I have no idea, but I can count on one hand how many others I’ve seen “in the wild.” Yeah, same here... rare as hens teeth. That said my opposite neighbour actually has one [image: emoji85.png] No coincidence…
- VFR1200F Production Volume Hi all, anyone happen to know how many of our gorgeous VFR12Fs were made before Honda pulled the plug? I read that some of the main reasons why Honda stopped making them was because it struggled to meet emissions and…
- Ignition Cycle / Water Temp Lamp Test RC36B Do we have a wiring diagram of the 7th gen? Unfortunately I don’t have a wiring diagram [image: emoji53.png] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Ignition Cycle / Water Temp Lamp Test RC36B As a pilot I got to say any last ditch system is worth nothing if operation can't be verified (like the 737 MAX). In that case it only adds false sense of security. I know, it's not a aircraft you crash but to me…
- Ignition Cycle / Water Temp Lamp Test Just in case there are others who feel that I am wasting my time chasing an answer to this (seemingly valid) question, please go find another thread to read and sh*t on. Thanks [image: emoji1360.png] Sent from my iPhone…
- Ignition Cycle / Water Temp Lamp Test Mohawk Find something else to worry about. Jeeeze... now there’s a cheery contribution [image: emoji849.png] ..not the helpful response I was seeking when reaching out to fellow 7th gen VFR owners on this forum. Sent…
- Ignition Cycle / Water Temp Lamp Test Grum I understand you wanting confidence in the LED working should you ever have a real O/Heat situation. Exactly! [image: emoji1360.png] Grum Attached is a method of testing the O/Heat LED from the Service Manual. Wow,…

- Ignition Cycle / Water Temp Lamp Test Hi all, Wondering if I can have some help please - clearly I have too much time on my hands as I was going over the bike with a fine tooth comb and making a list of everything I need to get it looking mint.. while…
- Seat Options Looks awesome man, loving the colour combo.. and the custom seat looks like it should’ve come from the factory like that [image: emoji1360.png] [image: emoji1360.png] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Seat Options For sure CD - I’ll mention you referred me [image: emoji1360.png] [image: emoji6.png] Great looking Blackbird BTW man [image: emoji1360.png] [image: emoji1360.png] I’m a huge fan of the CBR11 and very nearly bought one…
- Seat Options Chromedome Did you ever get your seat redone? If not, since you're in the UK, I'd recommend at least talking to Else Made. https://www.elsemade.co.uk/ I live in the states and had him make a seat for my Blackbird and it…
- Seat Options thtanner Also,If Sargent US refuses to help you due to their UK distributor having the regional rights, just have one of us in the states act as a middle man. No big deal. [image: emoji1.png] Really? That is a very kind…

- Seat Options thtanner Sargent will redo any seat, just send it to them. http://www.sargentcycle.com/Custom-Seat-Services/ Already spoken with them, or should I say I spoke to their UK distributor (as Sargent don’t actually have a UK…
- Seat Options BillAz31 I just really surprised that there just aren't many options out there for a Honda. I just don't see why this bike is so ignored. 100% agree!! I’ve been shopping for a decent seat for my VFR12 for 6mths.. still…
