  2. VFR1200 2012 29 Nov 2011 05:36 VFR1965- Allow me to be the first to say: "Bad-ass!" (I can't believe no one else has commented yet on the fact that you've taken your fancy new 1200 and put it through the paces on a track). Anyone who complains about…
  3. good price for 2001 VFR? 27 Oct 2011 03:08 I think $4000-$4500 would be a fine deal on the bike, especially if they can throw in some kind of short warranty or service plan on the bike. There is something to be said for a clean, largely stock bike. For one thing…
  4. The Gentleman's VFR 24 Oct 2011 03:16 The looks of that bike are growing on me. It think the bars should be just an inch or two lower.

  7. CrossViffer? 30 Dec 2010 21:12 While CrossDresser is the most fun to say, VF-X makes the most sense.

  9. Craziest/longest VFR wheelie I've ever seen 29 Dec 2010 04:20 And quite a relaxing song for a soundtrack.
  10. 2011 CBR600F 28 Dec 2010 15:23 The graphics on the white and red bike are, as always, a bit silly but it could be a nice little bike in black or blue trim. I'm very happy to see the ever-present three spoke wheels give way to five spoke. They even…
  11. Gangster Lean 27 Dec 2010 22:07 I had a Monster that had more lean than made me comfortable. I took it in to the shop and we found out that it was bent. I guess a previous owner liked to sit on the bike with the stand down when talking up chicks. A…
  12. It's almost sexual 13 Dec 2010 14:49 Okay, now I'm getting depressed. The next best sound to this (if not equal in sexiness) is my VFR. This depresses me because I'm selling my VFR and already have a deposit on it. I bought a F800S which sounds like a…

  17. Manufacturer Representation in Forum 14 Nov 2010 04:51 It's always a good idea for companies to listen to the end users. At the same time companies have to be careful as not to design by committee (by proxy). Most blockbuster movies suck because they are tested and often…
  18. Possible new edition to the fleet 13 Nov 2010 23:11 I've always been curious about them too. I almost went to go get one but a 900S Monster caught my eye and I liked the look of the Monster better (I should have gotten the Superhawk). I'm sure that at some point I'll…

  21. 5th Gen VFR / BMW F800S initial comparison 12 Nov 2010 18:23 Hey Gang, Ever since I saw a BMW F800S I just liked the look of it. While I love the VFR (both my former first gen and my current 5th gen) my eyes kept coming back to the little BMW. I posted here to see if anyone had…

  24. bike repair service.. 8 Nov 2010 02:34 Wait, you are throwing this out there NOW? Right after I buy a BMW and decide to sell my VFR? Hell, one of the reasons I decided to make the change is so I could get decent service (when needed) on my bike? Damn.
  25. My VFR in the trees.... 30 Oct 2010 02:40 Wow, it looks like you threw that bike down a cliff! It's a good think that you decided to body-surf without it. It all worked out, 500lbs of bike isn't worth an ounce of flesh.
  26. Did you or do you Name your bike? 21 Oct 2010 16:51 [image: View Post]Bad Boy, on 21 October 2010 - 11:05 AM, said: I do not believe in anthropomorphizing inanimate objects. I don't think they really like it. Brilliant.

  29. 2009 Bell Star 18 Oct 2010 17:41 Some of you may already know about this but MotorcycleCloseouts.com had the 2009 model Bell Star at pretty great pricing. They run as little as $199.99 for Gloss Black but you can still get the fancy paint jobs for $299…
  30. D'oh! I dropped her! 10 Oct 2010 01:51 It was very cool of you to help the guy and check on him. Too bad he isn't super wealthy he would have probably bought you a new bike as I'm sure he felt bad after watching you drop yours to check on him.
  31. Just Bought My New VFR1200 DCT - Very Dissattified 11 Sep 2010 13:18 Are you wearing shorts to ride? If so you are required to sell me your bike at half price.

  35. Trailer in a bag 21 Jul 2010 13:14 I'm thinking about getting one of these. I would like to tow the VFR but I don't want to store a trailer outside when the trailer isn't in use (which is most of the time). This seems pretty cool as I can tear it down in…

  41. A buddy just gave me a BMW R100 12 Apr 2010 12:40 A friend of mine bought a 1980 BMW R100 last year with the intention of stripping it down and fixing it up. Well, commitment from work and kids have caused him to abandon the project so he gave it to me. I don't really…

  43. Triumphant (at least for me) Return!!! 6 Apr 2010 02:33 I tried a Monster 900s for a short period of time. It looked bad-ass in the driveway but was pretty brutal to ride. I was also on the Monster Forum. A decent bunch of people but no where near as cool and helpful as the…
  44. My 95 v4 fighter project 4 Apr 2010 12:38 A messy VFR Streetfighter looks exactly that... A mess. A cleanly done VFR Streetfighter... Nothing is cooler. Good luck, do it right and keep us updated.

  50. How would an 86 VFR700 compare to my 2007? 3 Jan 2010 21:53 I had an '86 VFR700. It is the reason that I'm back on a VFR after trying a few other bikes. I would would say that there is more in common between my '86 and my '01 than there is different. In fact I think that my old…
