Great video, the cbr is looking good 👍 👍👍

any tips how to get gf who would ride also? wife wont let me have one.

CycleCruza reference? his brother also had a brain aneurism in his sleep at 30 and he died. Maybe you heard the story there as well.

Lol she is your GF not your wife she has no say so lol so go learn.. that was her dad that died not him.. Live your life not her's And SHE just now told you that her dad died on a bike AFTER you brought up a bike #GirlBye

First 2 mods need to be an exhaust an a moore mafia ecu flash. It will really open her up. You can even get pops an bangs tune if your into that kinda stuff from him

Weird that lane filtering/splitting isn't legal in freedom-loving USA, even here in socialist Sweden it is. Agree with you on the taxes, over here the tax on income is over 50%. Absolutely ridiculous. Housing also completely unaffordable.

It doesn't come from a place of love as much as it comes from a place of irrational fear and trauma. She needs to sort herself out.

All good points and Aprilia was my top pick until the Triumph Daytona came up. I actually like it's more refined mature lines and who really wants less cylinders or Yamaha R7 yoga positions 😂.

What are the fans called again?

Omg someone pronounced Akrapovic correctly. One day perhaps a kind soul will pronounce Öhlins as well. I fundamentally disagree with modding though, total waste of money and actually destroys value in som cases. Keep it stock.

R6

For the prize os rs660, consider street triple 765rs

⁠ I gotta say the r7 has got to be the most gutless middleweight bikes out there. To be fair it has good torque and street ability. But most my shop agrees that the motor and the power doesn’t match the bike or the style. For me I would go rs660 but the Daytona does a good job in the top end keeping up with my 600rr to a decent degree.

Where did you get the mirrors from? ive been looking for a set of 1k mirrors for mine.

My top 5 would be 1.Exhaust - everyone who rides loves the sound and its safer to be heard 2.Tyres, braided lines and sintered pads - a bike is only as good as its tyres and brakes. If the bike you bought or have already has good brakes and tyres then I'd look into a quick shifter, smooth effortless gear changes 3. Led headlight bulbs and turn signals bulbs - be seen and able to see, most older bikes have terrible lighting and barely able to see what's in front on a dark unlit road 4. Zero gravity corsa windscreen - gets the air flowing over you and more enjoyable ride, less wind noise easier to tuck, less rider fatigue 5. Aftermarket seat - more grippy, more comfy makes the ride far more enjoyable and more control over the bike, also less rider fatigue There are for sure many other mods to do, but those are my top 5 that I've done on my k5 1000. After owning a s1000rr and getting rear ended I bought the k5 and tried to get it to feel more like the s1000rr and with those mods it definitely helps

RS660 is a modern super sport, so it doesn't count. The others are not

It’s funny what Americans consider “heavily modified”. Living in Thailand these mods are pretty basic.

Her fear is understandable. A lot can happen, and motorcycles don't offer a lot of protection. It does show, she does care about you. But choosing to live in fear is not a way to live life. It will lead to misery, and whole slew of other personal internal conflict, that just isn't fun in the long term. I have met people who are just down right angry all the time, because they are controlled by fear. And one persons fear, should not control the path of others. If that were the case, we would have no military at all.

Currently on my brother's GSX-S750. After working for like a year starting next month, looking at some bikes. CBR600RR is in my radar due to its light wetweight, but i dont know how i'll fare with the supersport seating position and im like 172cm with 31inch inseam. How do i sit on the bike

Fantastic comparison! I own a 2023 636, and just recently bought a 2024 Aprilia RS 660. Two totally different machines. If you want to upgrade? I say get the RS 660, but if you want your next bike to be your bike for the next 5 years??? Get the ZX6R 🙂 I love both my bikes, but the 636 puts a smile on my face every time i ride it 🙂 The RS 660 is Amazing with Eletronic's, but the 636 just has so much power for a 600 class bike.

The new wires are a MUCH bigger guage than OEM but transfer to existing smaller guage. Something fishy there. So the new wires will cope with a much higher wattage but then the existing smaller wires won't.

as always, its about what you use the bike for. when hero said "one is different than the other 2", i was expecting him to say the aprilia. the rs660 is a track tool with all ups (handling, power, electronics) and downs (ergonomics), the other 2 (and also the suzuki) are everyday sports tourers with higher handlebars and lower stressed engines.

You are bloody lucky you checked it when you did. As you said the catastrophic failure was probably waiting at your next start up of 6th Gen VFR.

You should make more vids like this it will blow up the subs

I prefer the Triumph Daytona 660 the most. It's the smoothest, has power everywhere, still reliable, costs least, is comfy and has the best accessories

Without a shadow of a doubt, the R7!! I dunno why people are so obsessed with electronics and customisation, personally I just wanna get on the bike and take off! No need to worry about being in the right abs mode, throttle mode, traction control setting, right power mode, right quick shifter mode especially not on a 100hp bike😂😂 The reliability is always gonna be a problem due to the sheer amount of electronics on the bike. I mean aprilia have reliability problems even in their moto GP bikes so it's no surprise.

Honda 650rr

“Money is not an issue since I plan to keep the bike for a long time” There is a lot to unpack here. The cost of a bike is not in the purchasing price but in the maintenance, modification, insurance, depreciation, service and repairs. This does not diminish but increase with time. The RS660 performs better all day, but it is also more expensive in every category I just mentioned. Do you really need the expensive components of an rs660 for the type of riding you do? That is a good follow up question.

never let a woman dictate the actions that you want to make as a man. she has a valid reason for not wanting you to ride but maybe you’re not the one for her if you really want to ride and she doesn’t want you to

I'm sorry but that's a deal breaker.

I rode the r7 and the rs660. I liked the r7 better. It even felt faster to me for some reason. The 660 felt like a dog to me.

The Triumph also does NOT have adjustable suspension. The Aprilia has adjustable suspension, and FULL Aprilia electronic suite

Just checked out my connectors and they look only a little better than yours, guess I’m gonna do this soon👍 thanks for the vid

Repeat after me: "Motorcycle were here before you were, they'll be here after you are gone."

I feel that’s lot of love in the VFR, support 👍🏻👍🏻

Sounds like it's time for the girlfriend delete mod.

Yes, agree. Especially 1st revision of the 6th generation. These are the ones with the black brake/clutch reservoirs. The 2nd revision have a better rectifier and loom, and silver reservoirs. No harm in doing the change on the 2nd revision.

For any 5TH gen guys, you only need 1ft for the battery cables.

In general dont let women tell you what to do...

Not married, don't live together... why did you even ask her? Just go get it. Be a man

Grow some balls boy. You can't live under someone else's fear.

The bottom line is she has the right to not be with someone who does something that gives her sleepless nights. You have the right to ride a motorcycle. You just have to choose. Her stance is completely fair. I think if you didn't already have your bike by now it wasn't that important to you in the first place.

Mine burnt out the wiring and the connector block at 50k on a 2000 model. New mosfet RR and ok thereafter. 👍🏻

Ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Riding a motorcycle can be done safely but you have to follow the rules of the road and stop acting like a stupid squid. This means stop treating the state hiway like it's your own personal race track.

Yo, hero what you think of the FireStorm? I want to buy it after selling my Ninja 250R (2009)

So the thing is this really ends up being a matter of priorities. I think we all know where Hero stands. Where does our viewer stand? Personally, if my wife did not support me getting a motorcycle, I would not ride one. She makes me happy, she helps take the stress away. Is your relationship in a state which, if prevented from riding, you could still be happy? Dedication to motorcycling can range an entire spectrum from "just a hobby" to "ride or die". Which do you think you'll be? Your girlfriend has cause to be scared, regardless of the circumstances of the accident, she lost someone she loved on a motorcycle. Those emotions aren't likely to change even if she did let you ride. If you're seeking a long term relationship, that kind of worry can put a strain on you both. I would suggest being open with her that you're thinking about it and letting her know that you care deeply about how she feels and ask her to give you the same consideration. Again, it relies on your priorities. I choose to make my decisions with family in mind. It's not wrong for you to choose your own path, but please, take your time.

That is one smart girl friend.....now get rid of her before she starts going to shopping with all the money.

F*cking hell Honda, why couldn’t they get this right after so many years of the VFR?

My last gf broke up with me right after my first bike accident lmao, im 7 bikes in now and feeling 100% better without her, Good Riddance!
