  1. 2014 VFR 800 CYCLE WORLD Test 22 Aug 2023 15:58 TimC, 5/22/2023 at 10:19 AM I don't think the MO review was very negative, but let's call this out: Moto journalists who spend days on the track and on amazing Spanish and Italian mountain roads during all-expenses paid…
  2. Service from authorized dealers on older bikes 16 May 2023 20:01 15 hours ago, Grum I wouldn't be put off by valve clearance checks! Valve checks are no longer 16,000miles on an 8gen they have upgraded the interval to 24,000mile. Below is a reply from Honda UK to one of the forum…
  3. Service from authorized dealers on older bikes 16 May 2023 03:37 Bren, 5/13/2023 at 9:17 AM That sounds like a lot of crap. They'll only service bikes less than 15 years old, others only less than 10 years old? That's bull. Ring around and find an independent shop. I called all of…
  4. Service from authorized dealers on older bikes 13 May 2023 12:28 Hi I am in the market for a new bike and i had a Honda dealership here in Ohio tell me that he is the only Dealership that will work on a model year 15 years or newer and that the other ones only go back ten years. I am…
  5. Vid of VFR800s at Daytona Loop 11 Jun 2017 03:49 Great video Gator.
  6. Getting back in the saddle. 8 Jun 2017 02:05 1 minute ago, Rectaltronics I don't usually look to H-D riders for advice about handling. For too long, too many of them have been the sources of stories about how they had to "lay 'er down" to avoid colliding with…
  7. Getting back in the saddle. 8 Jun 2017 01:22 I appreciate the opinions on base vs. deluxe as i am weighing the pros and cons of each one as well as the cost difference. I went to look at the used deluxe today and the salesman said he was riding with a friend who…
  8. Getting back in the saddle. 6 Jun 2017 03:40 11 minutes ago, GatorGreg You're welcome. A Gator helping a 'Nole - imagine that - maybe there is still hope for world peace? Actually, I'm only helping you cuz one of my older brothers went to FSU - so I root for them…
  9. Getting back in the saddle. 6 Jun 2017 03:06 Thanks Gator.
  10. Getting back in the saddle. 6 Jun 2017 02:45 I have always bought my bikes new but a couple years old. (Crate sales) Does the milage (with no service records) concern anyone when they go to purchase a bike? The salesman on the one i posted didn't have any with the…
  11. How old are VFR owners? 6 Jun 2017 02:36 Pinkhairman, 4/12/2017 at 0:17 PM Just thought I'd say that I didn't fit into any of the age options as an 18 year old, which I thought was kinda funny. Judging by the age of the other owners, it seems I made a good…
  12. Getting back in the saddle. 6 Jun 2017 01:55 4 hours ago, GatorGreg That's a very difficult question that has been debated many times on the forum. Usually it comes down to how much value (if any) you place on ABS. There are some folks who think if you need ABS…
  13. Getting back in the saddle. 6 Jun 2017 01:47 5 hours ago, rckrzy1 The problem is you can't add ABS/TC after the fact. Center stand yes. I'm starting to like the self cancelling signals as well, still have to get used to the fact they will stop on their own. And it…
  14. Getting back in the saddle. 5 Jun 2017 18:01 29 minutes ago, Tews19 I purchased my New 2014 VFR base model for $8006 out the door to include the 1 yr manufactures warranty and another 4 yr unlimited mileage full warranty. I see you are in OH. If you look at Cedar…
  15. Getting back in the saddle. 5 Jun 2017 17:02 54 minutes ago, rckrzy1 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…
  16. Getting back in the saddle. 5 Jun 2017 13:36 2 hours ago, GatorGreg '14 and '15 models are the exact same as far as I know. The factory saddle bags are roughly $1K, so that makes the price of the used one more palatable assuming you would have added them to a new…
  17. Delkevic Exhaust on my 8th Gen 5 Jun 2017 03:40 That does sound a lot better.
  18. Getting back in the saddle. 5 Jun 2017 02:55 I had an 03 VFR and sold it in 2007 which i now regret. I am thinking about getting a new/used bike now after 10yrs and am deciding which bike to get. I was looking at either a used gold wing, another vfr or possibly an…
  19. Close out sales 14' and 15' 4 Jun 2017 03:52 Ok. I had an 03 VFR and sold it in 2007 and could kick myself for doing so. I was thinking about getting a new/used bike now. I was looking at either a used goldwing or another vfr. I stopped into a local store to look…
