  1. 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 6 Jul 2016 14:15 Have to get to Nelson again some day with the VFRd group ?
  2. Ok Its An 8Th Gen, But What Is Its Name? 15 May 2014 22:29 I have never heard of the 94-97 referred to as the Testarossa. The VTEC has been described as having 'origami' styling, but again I've never heard someone call it that. The 86-89 and 90-93 don't seem to have any…
  3. But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. 26 Mar 2014 01:59 my local dealer will get the 1st delivered in 4 weeks. Kind of hard to buy one and ride it if they are not even in the dealerships for another month, I guess
  4. Hello And Colour Opinions 22 Mar 2014 02:37 We got that color silver in 2005 only ~ it's nice. I would not paint it a different color.
  5. Hello And Colour Opinions 21 Mar 2014 04:28 There are a couple of 5th gens in white. BaileyRock had one in a dark grey / gunmetal metallic :fing02:
  6. Hello And Colour Opinions 21 Mar 2014 03:52 The Candy Dark Red '07 model was nice, and that color would look pretty good with your silver wheels. Although it would look better if you had your wheels stripped or chromed or ceramic coated silver. I always wanted to…
  7. New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. 5 Nov 2013 04:12 I kinda like it. Sounds like it is not coming to N.America, but sometimes Canada gets Euro-leftovers so maybe they will test it here first and see if anyone buys one. I have never been a big fan of the 6th gen's…
  8. Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? 15 Apr 2013 20:53 Why does it matter whose bike is faster ? Because some people want to know, and others want to show those who don't know how wrong they are LOL.
  9. Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? 12 Apr 2013 19:49 Stock vs. stock I say the V-Rod will definitely take you in 1st gear, and maybe 2nd. It has a lot more torque so will get the jump on you from a stop. Once you are rolling out of 2nd into 3rd above 10,000 rpm the VFR…
  10. Speedtv Programming, Need Your Feedback To The Network 16 Feb 2013 18:14 I dunno ~ how much 'feedback' do you think a programming department needs that cuts off the end of a world championship series race to show highlights from another completely different series ? Who da frack do they…
  11. Just A Few Cosmetic Mods Done 13 Jan 2013 21:59 Vinyl needs to follow the rear shape of the tank better, and a 2nd stripe below going through the lower part of the fairing vent would balance it out.
  12. eBay assistance w/ RC51 wheel 18 Jun 2012 17:11 Thanks guys ~ looks like BusyLittleShop can give me a hand, and he's a little closer :tour:
  13. Went riding today, our friend Bill went down. Prayers needed. 18 Jun 2012 16:38 We all hope your friend comes through this as best he can :fing02:
  14. eBay assistance w/ RC51 wheel 15 Jun 2012 19:21 Looking for someone that can forward an RC51 wheel I found/bought on eBay. Long story short is the seller is quoting nearly $175 to ship it to me via UPS, who will then charge me additional brokerage fees, etc etc etc.…

  16. Carrozzeria Alu Wheel Set: Vfr800 30 Oct 2011 17:01 Scot Carr's are great wheels. Too bad they bounced on making them for the VFR. [image: 4546043395_a3ac8061f6_b.jpg] They never made a set for the VFR. They just used an F4 front wheel and a wider 6.0" Ducati rear wheel…

  18. Anybody in Manitoba? 21 May 2011 15:02 Based on the number of positive comments about the 'motorcycling experience' in Manitoba, I suggest you take up fishing LOL On the other hand, you are a lot closer to the Dakotas and Indianapolis than you used to be.

  20. i want to buy a vfr 400 as my first bike. any advice? 13 Apr 2011 01:59 Unless you live in Europe or Japan where Honda sold or imported the VFR400 I would get something more commonplace for a first bike.
  21. Best VFR model 13 Apr 2011 01:40 The 2000-2001 VFR800 got R/R's from a different supplier, and had fewer failures.
  22. Is the VFR 800 the ideal bike for me with a passenger ? 13 Apr 2011 01:30 [image: View Post]Jack, on 11 April 2011 - 02:39 PM, said: I like spirited riding, I really like a lot of torque, I want a comfortable bike for long ride with a passenger. I really like powerful acceleration, I don't…

  24. '06 worth the wait for a new buyer? 24 Mar 2011 02:50 [image: View Post]pivot, on 21 March 2011 - 12:11 AM, said: It vibrates a good deal after 6k rpms up to 9k (I didn't take it any higher on the return trip home). Is this normal? I test rode two different VFR800's ~ one…
  25. Motorcycle Training worthless 19 Mar 2011 01:26 A number of years ago, the MSF's highest-ranking executive actually resigned over the lack of statistics that can show that training is actually reducing accidents. Collision data did show that rider training kept NEW…
  26. Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) 15 Mar 2011 18:26 Switchblade He's got extra one and mite sell it unless he has two VFR's He does and he is. I still want to know where he got it.
  27. Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) 15 Mar 2011 15:20 Is this the place ? 4 bolt 1.25" spacer
  28. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 13 Mar 2011 18:28 Check out the Ontario VFR Mailing List. I just sold a D&D muffler to someone there for their VFR. http://www.vfr.on.ca/club/mailing_list.html

  30. Liknked brakes modification 10 Mar 2011 19:20 Years ago there was a member on vfrD that had reversed the operation of their linked brakes on their 5th gen. ArizonaVFR ? Had a yellow 2000 model. Unless you were going to modify a part of the bike where retention of…
  31. Steel Frame: Paint or Powder Coating? 2 Mar 2011 16:43 Powdercoating is more durable than paint....Every color has its own chacteristic though. Painter I have used locally says straight paint in general is about 60% as durable as powdercoating.

  33. Rear Shock Choices 19 Feb 2011 16:58 I have a 929 shock for sale in the classifieds :491:
  34. Suspension Obsession 17 Feb 2011 02:44 The VFR800A has the remote preload adjuster. You would lose that going to the CBR929 shock. Since you are on a bit of a budget, and maybe not experienced enough to deal with multiple-adjustability on your bike anyway, I…
  35. A&A Performance 6th-gen Supercharger Kits 12 Feb 2011 15:48 The VFR800 engine is a derivative of the RC45, which made 190hp before they discontinued racing it. HRC actually ran short of some RC45 parts shortly before they changed over to the RVT1000RC51 and made a submission to…
  36. vfr750 8 spoke wheel fittment 11 Feb 2011 15:53 The only wheel that will not fit without some modification is the '98+ VFR800 wheel.

  38. New Mirrors for my VFR 8 Feb 2011 21:40 I think they will look terrible, but only you will know for sure once you put them on. Maybe make sure the seller will accept returns...

  40. What am I trying to correct? 2 Feb 2011 04:41 The dreaded Paralysis of Analysis. Just get a CBR929/954 or RC51 SP-1 lower and a CBR929/954 upper and forget about it.
  41. vtec v ninja 1000 test ride 28 Jan 2011 05:08 Have you ridden the 2010 R1's? I rode a 2009. Like a more aggressive and lighter VFR with a lot more power. But hot hot hot. Honestly not even nice to ride under about 100 km/h.

  44. Carrozzeria Alu Wheel Set: Vfr800 20 Jan 2011 05:28 Jmmymc750 Looks like I will be doing a spindle for another board member with a 5th gen this spring. They are going to fab their own brake caliper stay for use with a Ducati caliper, so those of you not afraid to delink…

  47. Carrozzeria Alu Wheel Set: Vfr800 19 Jan 2011 05:08 SEBSPEED Sorry for taking this even more off topic(and for not searching first...). What's the deal with putting HawkGT/NT650 drive guts in a 4th gen arm? I've got a guy who wants to swap his Hawk single nut stuff for…

  49. Painting/color question 18 Jan 2011 20:07 All the :computer-noworky: on the VFR websites about how the U.S. doesn't get some of the great colors the rest of the world does, and you want flat black ?
