Considering 2014s or 2015s and was wondering if anyone was aware of any differences in the upcoming 2015 models.
I remember the following post but was wondering if anything else might be in the new models. thx
"Looking at fiche part numbers and the official Honda website, it looks like the only thing that has changed is the year on the VIN sticker. It seems to me that the only real change was to a particular wire harness, after serial number 0000350 or thereabouts. The sort of thing that comes from, for instance, a different connector vendor or shift in where the harness comes from (initial ones are often made in Japan and later production harnesses come from China from what I have seen on a couple of models)" Shinigami OP'er
Resurrecting an old thread, did anyone ever discover any meaningful difference between the 2014 and 2015 VFR800? My research has discovered none.
New 2014s are being discounted by various dealers and there's a good chance I'll be buying a 2014 Deluxe model later this week, but before I blow the dust off my wallet I'd like to be certain I won't be missing anything serious by not going with a 2015.
This will be my last bike, so I'm not concerned by the prospective lower resale value of an older model vs. a newer one.
I haven't heard of any issues with the 2014's, and it has been almost 2 years since they were launched. I've got nearly 17K miles on mine, zero issues, and I have heard of a couple with twice that (in Europe and Japan), and still no issues to speak of.
I ride harder than many, have burned through four sets of tires and 80% through the 5th set, but just did my first chain adjustment yesterday. Yes, I keep it well lubed, but still... impressive to me.
