@@CutACrow ahh a difficult case, where do you live? A friend of my is selling is GEN5 (the Netherlands). Send me a DM on insta if interested 😀 The 5th gen is more reliable cause of the direct injection. I do personally prefer the looks and the riding position of the 4th gen. Sound wise they are the same, did you see my comparison video between both bikes?

I own a VFR800Fi and I love almost everything about it. Only looks are a bit 'mhoa' in my opinion. It doesnt have the beauty of a Ducati for example. But with a Gen 3 rear wheel, dark double bubble screen, Sargent seat, high mount exhaust, no rear footpegs and some other small changes looks are much improved in my opinion. For all the rest, amazing bike

In a lot of countries you wouldn't be allowed to have something this big. I've got the 83 VF 750 Magna and besides from the speedo drive gear I've had no trouble getting new part. Mind you some times they do cost a small fortune. As for the speedo I just use a tom tom gps speedo. It's a lot more accurate and comes with a speed alarm so it's a lot better.

Got the 750 FV in the best colour, BLUE. RR replaced 10 yrs ago but relocated onto a heat sink down by radiator to get better airflow. Put the 8 spoke rear wheel on, looks better! 72k miles, runs sweet as, just run in I would say. Have the bigger brother to now, 1200X but not the same without gear driven cams 👌

I do not agree that you shouldnt get a bike instead of a car if a car is too expansive. The monthly costs are WAAAAAY cheaper (atleast here in NL) amd work on your bike can be done yourself most times, of you have atleast one right hand and a service manual, especially older bikes (like your vfr! Love the vfr.). Riding when tired or ill though.... couldnt agree more. In now 6 years of riding (and about 200k km) i crashed once, after a 16hour shift at the airport (on kingsday) which is where i failed a emergancy stop for a trucker that ran a red. There was a speedbump in front of the traffic lights, wich send me over the bars, bike totalled, i fortunatly only hurt my knee (rip my first vfr). My helmet was ground through the foam. Wear full gear people! I started riding again the same week. Bought a cheap 500cc, checked it over, and started tiding again so i wouldnt get scared or traumatized. The next time i had a shift like that... i slept at the job. They even got me dinner and breakfast.

Agreed when you have two right hands, but generally speaking, a bad maintained bike is a liability. I had a 500 euro car for a few years just in case I didn't feel like riding 😆 (It was a Mitsubishi so it never failed me).

Got mine at the start of the summer, 80k on it. was FULL of problems. Insane. But its all due to severe neglect. The 700euro bike is about 4,5k now, but it has a rebuild engine (bearings, rings, pistons, oversized), oem+ rebuild forks, hyperpro shock, 525 chain kit, dynojet kitted the carbs and finetuned it on the dyno (110hp at the wheel!), BMC filter, TYGA performams HRC style headers with kevlar exhaust, new tyres, throttle cables, rebuild brakes and SS lines, full EBC clutch kit, new stearing stem bearings, wheel bearings front and back, iridium plugs amd brand new OEM coils amd spark plug caps, new coolant lines, amd some more small stuff. Next is brake disks amd pads when the disks are officially under spec (0,15mm left) and then i'll repair the fairings and powdercoat the forkstems and subframe, amd replace the swingarm and pro-arm bearings. In the far future, it might get to be a rc30 replica. In short.... i love the bike so much that i'm willing to spend this kind of money on it.
