All 11- Rider or bike? VFR1000FD cornering Thank you everyone for the replies. I was expecting I would get an email notification but never did which is why I'm responding so late. I'm used to burning the rubber on edge on most bikes, but don't feel safe with…
- Rider or bike? VFR1000FD cornering I have a fairly low-mileage (~28000 km) 2015 VFR with fairly new tires (<5000 km) but haven't actually been on a long winding trip for years. Went with a few friends with 800-900cc adventure motorcycles and they kicked…
- Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR At the motorcycle safety course they told us that on the street it's better to be on top of the bike as you are more likely to be able to shift the bike fast than your body. Obviously, if you race, it doesn't apply, but…
- Saw another 7th gen in the wild Funny, after I bought my 7th gen just saw noticed another one that was always parked, less than one km away from where I live. I always thought it was strange bike looking at it from far away. This is Germany however,…

- New (to me) 1200 I checked the pressure, it was ok on both tires, but the front tire is worn out almost to the markers. I adjusted the angle of the brake lever, seems like the wrist is more relaxed now. I still have a feeling it steers…
- New (to me) 1200 I think I already found the answer to the first question: 🙂
- New (to me) 1200 Hi all, my first post here. I just bought a VFR1200FD from a friend, 2015 model, low mileage. 10 years ago I had a VFR750 from 89 or 90, it was a joy to ride, but not too long. I find the 1200 much more comfortable on…
