2000 Vfr800 - Report — Ride Reports

Hi!

I fired up my baby today for the first time in 3 months. It just started. Even with the old gas!

It has 49,202 miles on it. She has lived 1 block from the beach ever since my father puchased her in 2001. Thank god I jumped on it in 2002 and started riding it. My father just gave it to me (he bought a harley).

For the last 12+ years I have been rocking this thing. Almost a daily driver, been on the track 1x Laguna Seca and 2x Buttowillow. My brother and I have made the yearly pilgrimage up the 1 to see the MotoGP races at laguna seca 8/10 past years. I live in Orange County, he lives in Redondo (and rides a supreme 954r). I love my Honda. We love our honda's.

So, this thing is bad ass. I love explaining to people what a V4 is by using my two fingers with both hands making a double vtwin motion. And then I explaing what it's like to have gears instead of a chain drive!

That Noise!

I love you honda.

Even though at 40k I blew the gearset one day on the 73N and spent over $1200 in repairs. No matter that even after a Mission Motorsports Honda dealership rebuid, it leaks oil probably too much to track again, I cannot let the sound of your gears meshing and V4 whining go. I cannot let the forgiving feel of linked braked guide me time and time again. With fresh Dunlop's, yeah its heavy, but the torque is just something to behold.

That sound.....

I love you
