  4. VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years 4 Jul 2022 10:10 That’s awesome Leon, I’m so happy for you. I loved the Redslut and I was sad to see it torn to pieces. I’ve a soft spot for 4th gen VFRs and this one looks great. I guess I’ll have to go back a few more pages than I did…

  6. Steve Rapp’s VF1000R and 8th Gen VFR800 3 Apr 2022 08:56 I could not see anyone posting this before. It’s an instagram post from Iconic Motorbikes, showing Steve Rapp’s newly acquired VF1000R next to his 8th generation VFR which is wrapped in VF1000R livery. I think it looks…

  9. Throttle tamer installation for VFR1200F 7 Apr 2017 08:55 Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I've used Honda Handlebar Cement for the installation of the heated grips. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/998/35728/Pro-Honda-Handgrip-Cement Probably does not bode well for…
  10. Throttle tamer installation for VFR1200F 5 Apr 2017 20:13 Hi everyone, I bought a throttle tamer for my VFR1200F which has original Honda heated grips. The mechanic told me there's a big possibility that the heated grip might be damaged during removal and installation. I…

  14. The Ace Of Spades Baltics Tour 2016 16 Aug 2016 06:45 So sorry to hear about this and it was going so well :-(. I'm so glad to see that you're OK though, get well soon.
  15. CA Lane Splitting Regulation 8 Aug 2016 11:45 Well I was also surprised see you here, I was like "Hey I know that guy 😊" [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/AVHRyiYmZiM?feature=oembed] Go to 7:28 to see Larry's gorgeous RC45...
  16. The Ace Of Spades Baltics Tour 2016 1 Aug 2016 06:57 Looking good Leon; sorry to hear about the job, but nice to see you aren't too troubled by it. Nice pictures :wink:
  17. Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts 30 Mar 2016 08:51 I was sent an SMS by Honda Turkey about a month ago about the driveshaft issue. I immediately called my dealer who told me that the parts weren't yet in the country and that I should check with him later. I called him…
  18. Vfr1200 And Traffic Filtering 21 May 2015 22:04 They somehow look like Honda Integra's side cases to me...
  19. Finally A Vfr800! And A Tv Pilot 2 Mar 2015 17:06 What about a Scottoiler to keep your chain lubed and your mind on more important things? I highly recommend it...
  20. Laser Extreme Exhaust 11 Feb 2015 07:42 Hi Arrow well short answer YES I'm going to install the supercharger kit after all. Did some regular maintenance just the other day & the bug bit me again only problem I have to do valve clearances & have injectors…
  21. Laser Extreme Exhaust 9 Feb 2015 14:36 The torocharger is still sitting in my garage :wacko: it may sound strange but lost interest in fitting it because riding it without still leaves me with a wide smile. I will fit one day maybe unless offered the right…
  22. Mr. Rc45 Digital Oil Pressure Gauge Mod 3 Feb 2015 13:18 Those steam gauges look sooo cool, love them!
  23. Goodbye 30 Nov 2014 10:32 Damn Leon, you had me there for a second. I thought you decided to sell the redslut and buy a "stinky" I-4 :-D ...
  24. Flash Ecu Vfr1200 Conclusion... Please Only Experience From People Who Have Theire 1200Ecu Flashed, No Speculations Only Facts! 9 Nov 2014 16:46 Ishark, you need to post it in the "Other Motorcycle Talk" section, even then it gets taken down after a certain period if the topic isn't active...
  25. Dynojet Pcv & Autotune & De-Cat. 15 Oct 2014 08:47 I'd get the bike set-up by a dyno right away if I were you. I got a map from Dynojet UK for the same setup (decat, K&N Air Filter, and Akrapovic slip-on) and it was kind of OK but I wasn't totally happy with it. When I…
  26. Vfr1200 2015 5 Oct 2014 07:41 I for one didn't think BikeKenG was being rude, but he did dismiss the other arguements a bit too readily. I hope he sticks around. If one thing he actually showed that Honda thinks (he said he had worked there) that…
  27. Vfr1200 2015 3 Oct 2014 08:40 I don't think calling people who criticise as haters is fair. A lot of those people (myself included) own a VFR1200F. I modified my suspension and engine, installed helibars and I enjoy it immensely. I feel Honda should…
  28. Vfr1200 2015 2 Oct 2014 05:35 The 1000cc chain driven bike would be lighter, that's one advantage I'm thinking of. It still wouldn't be as light as a liter superbike, so I don't think it'd overlap...
  29. Vfr1200 2015 30 Sep 2014 08:19 Why only BNG? Honda needs to wake up and start building interest in VFRs again...
  30. What Did You Do To Your Vfr12 Today? 30 Sep 2014 08:14 Dunlop Roadsmarts...
  31. What Did You Do To Your Vfr12 Today? 29 Sep 2014 07:15 New buns... Of course it started raining cats and dogs right after I had them installed and didn't stop throughout the weekend, only to stop on Monday morning so I couldn't ride in my favorite backroads. Arrrgh!!!…
  32. Rc45 Turbo Rc46 Turbo 24 Sep 2014 08:25 wargen No i have no plans to offering kit…. sorry I will post more picture and video later I think that's wise. A member here (Dan) created a of a supercharger kit for the VFR800s (both 5th and 6th gen) and some people…
  33. Bst Carbon Fiber Wheels For Vfr 1200 8 Sep 2014 10:12 The price i was quoted was by Larry at PDQ1. When he fits them i will get him to way the stock wheels and the Dymag ones and then post the results. Should be around mid August. So, any news here?
  34. Out For My Last Ride Of The Season And Look What I Found, Bought, And Just Sold... 2 Sep 2014 05:30 tomk1960 I can't really tell you what was done to resolve any cam issues that took place way back in the 80's, but here is an excellent write-up by Mike Nixon that explains the real issue. It's well written and makes a…
  35. Out For My Last Ride Of The Season And Look What I Found, Bought, And Just Sold... 31 Aug 2014 19:26 Great thread, I love how folks here fix and bring old machines back to life. This was already in great shape, but still... I'm curious as to how the cam problems were solved in the VF750. I remember reading that the…
  36. 1990 Running After 22+ Years 8 Aug 2014 15:53 Any updates, new pictures etc?
  37. Vfr 1200 Motor In New Ariel Ace Motorcycle 10 Jul 2014 17:07 First ride impression by MCN and they like it: http://www.motorcycl...ce-at-goodwood/
  38. Bst Carbon Fiber Wheels For Vfr 1200 9 Jul 2014 13:53 Aren't they (BST) making these wheels for the new VFR1200 based Ariel bike as well?
  39. Vfr 1200 Motor In New Ariel Ace Motorcycle 26 Jun 2014 06:30 ...I have to admit that I'm more than slightly curious how the optional front end might feel on the road or track. That one is the cruiser-ish version, the one with the Öhlins forks is the sporty type. I like them a…
  40. Ohlins Install 7 Feb 2014 19:22 What do you guys think about upgrading springs only? I don't feel like spending too much at this point. I'm looking at HyperPro progressive springs front and back. Is it worth it or should I pass?
  41. 2014 Updates For The 1200F? 12 Nov 2013 09:08 I'm starting to like my bike more and more after a rocky start (the ECU died after the update and was replaced under warranty). The thing is that the 1200 isn't an easy bike to get along with. Like it or not, the big…
  42. 2014 Updates For The 1200F? 11 Nov 2013 23:43 I was checking the latest MCN and it seems that the 2014 Crosstourer has self cancelling blinkers, a new seat, a new ignition key (grooved like latest car keys), performance updates for the DCT and most importantly…
  43. New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. 4 Nov 2013 17:38 SEBSPEED Earthshake YoshiHNS And if luggage isn't an option, bolt a 6th gen tail, luggage rack, and undertail exhaust? It looks to me luggage will be an option. Judging from the odd extension off the rear peg hangers…
  44. New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. 4 Nov 2013 13:08 Well, this came as a surprise :happy: ... So the engine stays the same I guess, which isn't necessarily a bad thing... I wonder about the suspension, electronics etc... I really dig the 10 spoke rear wheel as well... Is…
  45. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 21 Mar 2013 08:46 You might already have done so, but please check Dawson's post below, it might be useful: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/73156-my-longwinded-theory/#entry864565
  46. My intimate Volvo moment... 16 Aug 2012 14:24 Thanks for the kind responses guys; Burns I was just kidding :-) , I don't think it's possible to supercharge a Vespa, it's already scary as it is thanks to its -ahem- unique weight distribution and tiny wheels. I…

  48. My intimate Volvo moment... 15 Aug 2012 22:32 Hi guys, I came to my parents home in Cesme Turkey, a popular holiday resort where I spent all of my summers since I was a kid. I keep my first bike, a 1988 Vespa PX200 here to get around, it suits the spirit of this…
  49. VTEC-SC... 29 Apr 2012 17:26 I know my posts are boring but :tongue: ... Isn't anyone interested in a high nines/low tens quarter-mile VFR :huh: ?
  50. VTEC-SC... 25 Apr 2012 17:06 Check this guy out: 6.589 @ 119.5 MPH 1/8 mile run... AFAIK the stock VFR runs quarter mile in 11 seconds @ 119 mph ...
