10 Things I Hate About the Honda VFR800

[@votronimatic]

I had the 750,plenty not to like 1.total waste of breakdown cover. 2.bars 2mm to low 3.seat to narrow,needed another 1mm 4.not enough room for your mates spares under the seat. 5.rubbish at cutting grass 6.took an age to heat a pasty 7.wouldn,t sleep two 8.the engine noise would often wake you up 9.had to wear a helmet 10. And worst thing of all,my mum liked it!

[@RichyVida]

[@fenchelteefee]

I consider a bandit 600 as my first bike, but the VFR serves for some headaches this last weeks. What a great product!

[@davedeja]

You got me... I thought, the way he goes on and on about that VFR I'm very interested to hear what he hates about it, and then you go and snooker me! Damn it, man! I fell for it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

What a cracking idea for a video!! ....and you're quite right, we don't tend to buy bikes we hate do we, still made me smile this one and gutted I didn't do the same treatment for my Street Triple (which was extremely difficult to even come up with niggles for!). Massive thanks for the credit on the video....stay tuned to my channel as I have a little something in mind for you in one of my future productions..... ;0)

[@RichyVida]

Haha hey, all credit to you, Sir! I personally didn't think it was funny enough, but seems to have gone down well! haha. Great stuff! Will keep my eyes peeled ;-)

[@beans4491]

Brilliant you two! Kind regards

[@mike.47]

I had an extremely good tour of Ireland on my VFR800 around 10 years ago, topped off with a quick sprint down to Dartmouth in Devon and finally back home to Ipswich. The whole experience was marred when going passed Colchester on the A12 my chain decided to part company with the bike, taking a chunk of the crankcase with it. Fortunately it was just a stone’s throw from the Honda dealer where I bought it. Having said all that I still loved the bike.

[@onedigg90]

Been wanting a VFR for a while, your videos are convincing me to pull the trigger and get one 👍🏻

[@team-badseeds]

The lack of gear-driven cams! :-)

[@matejpotrusil1464]

VTEC is what makes it fun and different ;)

[@mr.tarkovish2587]

Nope worked on gear driven cams like 8-9 times and my life and I’m never doing it again🤣🤣

[@gheresin]

I m a 5th gen vfr all day for the gear driven cams love all vfrs tho

[@csmorris903]

I have a 2005 VFR800 and I love it. The only complaint I have is it does tend to run a little hot when caught in slow traffic here in California.

[@Cm.enduro]

Must say, I was a bit confused at first but now it's rather funny after the 3.5 minute mark 🤣

[@gdscheiwe01]

Watching TMF brought me to your channel a few months ago. You two(and a few other Brits) have cost me many hours this winter. Great video great channel! Peace!

[@Jungleland33]

I just bought one recently (2010 model)and after owning a VF 500 and 750 many years ago I must say that it is an absolutely fantastic bike and light years away from those models. Looking forward to touring Scotland this May on it. Can't wait.

[@harishkumarko]

Before I watched the video, I was wondering how could someone say anything negative about a VFR 800! Glad to know we think alike.

[@alexandrubuzatu1021]

I can tell you a few things after driving a vfr800 for quite a while, 1 sometimes you can get electrical (ground wires) issues that are a headache to troubleshoot, 2 the horn button is a bit too long so sometimes you can activate it by mistake, 3 quite wide turn angle compared to a GSX for example, if you want to turn the bike on a narrow street especially if is a steep hill is not very easy. overall not recommended for the lady riders that can drop it quite easy and it would be impossible for them to get it back up. That being said is a very nice bike to ride, no more negatives, i have a lot of fun with mine.

[@jhpbrown]

I have a VFR750FL, there are two niggles as far as I’m concerned 1. The weight, heavy for a 750, fine once you’re moving and very planted but heavy around the garage. 2. Charging circuit is weak on VFR’s 3 reg recs and counting since I bought mine. I also have a blackbird, heavy bike again but the difference in weight for the extra capacity is minimal. That has a mosfet reg rec so unlikely to blow any time soon. The 800 is longer than my old VFR as well, so for a shorty like myself is less comfortable over distance.

[@DreadnoughtNorway]

After 3 days of owning a VFR 800 V-tec I can confirm you are right,- There is nothing I hate with my VFR.... BUT,- I can make a long long long long long long long long long long list of what I love about my VFR...:-)" Keep up the good work:-)...

[@RichyVida]

YES! ;-)

[@PartialS]

I started riding my '98 again after I replaced the reg/rec, stator, and harness. In the meantime was a Ducati Multistrada 1200s. And I'm so happy to be back on the VFR that I don't ride the Multi any more. The Multi might have bigger on-paper numbers, electronic suspension, ride by wire stuff but it's no match *at all* for the VFR, even though its engine is a full 1/3 bigger. Nowhere near the flexibility, woosh feeling, sound. Plus the Multi feels twice as heavy, and has nowhere near the same telepathic throttle/brake, feeling of grip, or perfect gearchange. And even though it's got more power, massively more torque, it's just not as usable. It's either too quick, or just too cantankerously irritating in the fuelling to ride at anything other than full throttle. The VFR is as beautifully relaxing at 10% pace as it is at 80%.

[@RichyVida]

What a great comment! Lovely to hear. 👍👍

[@bobhope4395]

1. Temperature raise fairly quickly and takes a while to come down. 2. Under seat storage in incredibly minimal. 3. The centre stand is next to impossible to use if you don't weigh very much and haven't got height on your side. 4. Cam chain tensioners can be dodgy. 5. The front of the engine is a right pain to keep clean. Takes ages to make it shiny after being out in bad weather. 6. 2 of my disc locks do not fit very well in the front discs. 7. Nightmare to mount a dash cam in a sensible position 8. Steering lock is temperamental (not looked into why yet) 9. Bleeding the brakes is not exactly the easiest in the world. 10. It's not a Yamaha 😉

[@JohnHyatt-n6z]

A few things; I like to stand up and ride occasionally. That’s pretty hard to do for any extended period on the VFR. Almost zero underseat storage. And there are not many options to fit a throttle lock/ cruise control. Hitting the VTEC whilst on the back wheel or cornering is sometimes very unnerving. My particular fuel gauge is not at all accurate. But that is maybe only my bike. 😂 Other than that. It’s perfect. 😉

[@franhunter4701]

Just seen this vid. Cracked me up. I’ve been a subscriber for a while and was wondering what you were going to say. Especially as my 1999 5th gen arrived yesterday. Thought I’d take it for a first spin for half an hour. Got home 4 hours later. (Naughty boy) 😀 Love it mate. Great channel. Looking forward to these restrictions getting lifted and taking the VFR on a south west tour. Cheers for all the vids. Help keep my sanity. I own an events company. Supply sound light and stages. Not had a gig since last feb. So your vids have been helping lift my spirits mate.

[@stephendale5897]

I have a 800FI, last year b4 variable timing, great bike, fuel injected, gear driven cams, sounds unique, goes well, won’t sell it, to fond of it. Love my R1200gs but the VFR is unique

[@sandy2483]

This never gets old lol.

[@pberguy]

Richy, I agree with your list! Here's my number 10...I get angry with all those riders who are constantly telling me (correctly) that it is the finest sport touring bike ever made! :>)

[@DreadnoughtNorway]

Two days from now,- I am going to try and may be bay a VFR 800! I'm looking forward to that:-)! Thank you for giving some good vibes into this channel..:-)!!

[@ApacheSquirrel]

when you can't find anything wrong with something, I think that's called love! you've got me thinking as I don't feel so fondly about my biffer...

[@kkiwi54]

I don't have a VFR (I'm thinking of getting one) but here's two things that I've heard of - the side radiators of the gen 6 vfr can cause your legs to get hot - they can be very expensive to work on (that's all I've got ;)

[@RichyVida]

Rubbish. To both. 👍

[@isaiahvillarreal4512]

As a motorcycle courier in Los Angeles , I got 750,000 miles outta my 2002 VFR. I replaced many fork seals. A rear shock, clutch, many chains, brakes and tires. The front discs. Seat cover, front wheel bearings, the rear wheel bearing was a chore. Triple clamp bearing and a clutch slave. Reg rec and coil. And just before it was time to sell her Honda replaced the entire wire harness under a recall.

[@RichyVida]

Wow! That is amazing! Thanks for that.

[@mortenborgen1134]

the only negative thing about the vfr is that it's a bit thirsty, but my gosh what a great ride. the sound,,, performance. all excellent. the only mod i will do is to raise the bars a little bit.

[@belmiromartins5044]

Hahaha!!... Man,thank you for a good laugh and thumbs up for the VFR800! Incredible machine!

[@UncleWally3]

K, I just obtained a VFR, mostly based on this video. After 1000 K's in, I'm glad I watched and bought a VFR! Thanks . . .

[@RichyVida]

+Walter Wilkins glad you like it!

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

1000k's? Wow that's a million kilometers. .

[@4khilys]

Well done, at first I thought it was just gonna be another typical 10 things list, then I started getting annoyed when you didn't have a list ready. Took me a moment to realize what you were getting at, nice little chuckle

[@raymondsullivan1154]

You got me again, Richy. As I have the same bike as you, I was very curious as to what you would say. But as I was watching, I thought to myself that you were running seriously behind on time...until I realized the point that you were making. I will say that one thing I hate about my Honda VFR800 is that it's too good of a bike to even think about trading it in for a brand new bike, which is what I promised myself I would do when I retired. I have test-driven a number of bikes the last couple of years, but I couldn't bring myself to part with the VFR. Even the salespeople tell me they think it's a great bike.

[@RichyVida]

+Raymond Sullivan exactly, Raymond. It does say a lot about a truly great bike.

[@baton90]

Great video, tomorrow i will probably buy my first VFR 800, your video just convinced me that this is a right choice! :D

[@guyr7351]

Tyre valves not at 90 degree for convenience, otherwise I think you like it a lot. It’s actually very nice to see someone who does the miles and the trips you do not fall into the newest is best must change the bike mode, preferring the existing bike that actually meets most if not all their needs.

[@AimlessMoto]

100% agree. The Viffer was the best bike I've ever owned.

[@RichyVida]

Cheers. Yes, 'tis true! What are you riding now, mate?

[@AimlessMoto]

Working on a 75' KZ400 scrambler/tracker/café thing... lol.

[@moonshinepz]

Same here. My son has got one now and taunts me with it, I'm seriously thinking about trading in the bike I replaced it with just because my old bones found it easier to wheel about the garage. Best rapid tourer I ever had. Probably the best bike full stop. One of the first pre-vtecs dec 97.Loved it, had it for years.

[@tropicalstormrain5893]

Miss my 87 VFR 700 F2.(Candy blue and Silver) Great bike.

[@tropicalstormrain5893]

P.S. My 87 had approx 185 K on the odometer before it broke ( stuck valve). Still have it though.

[@seljd]

Those who are interested who's that youtuber, it's RoyalJordanian or RJ. He owns 2 classic Yamahas, Honda Grom, BMW S1000RRs, Husqvarna Nuda 900R. Husqvarna SMR511 and KTM 1290 Super Duke R. That 1200GS was just rental but it was hard for him to give it back

[@derpeter110]

Oh my god!!! Soooooo good! But why did the video stop, just when you wanna start the count down??? :) Great Video! Thanks for laugh!

[@andyrawlings5369]

10 things wright with the vfr just so perfect whats not to like about them god made these bikes .

[@Radioactive_Slime]

As an owner of a 2003 6th gen I instantly clicked on this video when I saw the title! I thought, "Oh here we go..." and quickly compiled a mental list of my own . At the end of the video I was a little annoyed; I was dumbfounded as to why your #10 was the same as my #1. One of us has their priorities backwards. ; )

[@RichyVida]

Haha :-)

[@andrewwasson6153]

I’m a bit surprised because this list matches mine perfectly which is why I’m selling one of my current bikes to pick up a mid 2000’s v-tech VFR.

[@andyedwards1625]

richy do you know what i hate about your vfr ?.... the fact that i am not seeing it at least twice a week on new uploads lol... i subscibe to a fair few but you are the only one i have notifications for .. you lot are simply the best love all your utube vids never a thumbs down from me mate ... now get another vid on qwik before i do 😂😂😂👍👍👍

[@RichyVida]

Haha great comment! I try my best, Andy 😂

[@Helmethustler]

Fancying VTEC and stumbled across your channel, great fun and nice to see roads I have always ridden as seems you are local to me. Cheers well done youth.

[@jimthompson717]

I bought a vfr 750 new back in the 80's. It was truly awesome. That was about 20 bikes ago. Currently on an r1250gs -the best.

[@rayr9643]

The VFR is a great bike but if you want to come up with 10 things to hate about it just try doing some work on it. For example; to get the throttle twist grip off you need to disconnect the cables at the throttle body end. There's a little plate with a couple of screws for doing just that... except Honda put it right behind the frame, so it's almost impossible to undo them without chewing them up. Turning a five minute job into an hour or so of struggle. Even if you have an old one, with no VTEC, you'll need to remove the front end to get to the the front valves for checking. Most people take them to a dealer of course but these difficulties are why the costs are so high. Trying to come up with 10 things to hate about riding it would be virtually impossible, once you've de-linked the brakes.

[@MrBoybergs]

Good dose of comedy acting but making a valid point. I ride the 5th gen vfr800 and find it hard to fault. I actually prefer it to my two previous machines; a Yam FZ1n and a mk1 Triumph Street Triple. They were both excellent machines but lacked the versatility of the VFR (which is also a blast to ride when you're in the mood to take things up a notch). I discovered The Missenden Flyer about a month ago and I completely agree with your comments; I've watched all his videos and his reviews are excellent; Just wish there were more of them........

[@thewelder9492]

Funny. I own a 2003 silver VFR 800ABS. I am selling it now as I purchased a mobile couch for this 49 year old. My new ride is a BMW R1200RT. It has all the bells and whistles lol. But the VFR is a very nice bike. And you can’t beat that V4 sound through the carbon fibre exhaust. Just can’t! 47000km on it and still going strong.

[@RichyVida]

Still going strong at 47,000kms? She’s a pup! Mine is on 87,000 miles now ;-)

[@thewiltshirerider01]

Just found your channel and love it, you nearly had me on this one, great humour 👍

[@RichyVida]

Welcome aboard! 👍👍

[@BasHeijermans]

I know one, slow rpm speed in a 30km/h zone, that is horrible. But other then that, it still beats modern bikes in comfort, speed, power and mostly everything else. It's 115HP is more then enough to keep up with all other bikes. Going from 100 to 250KM/h is so fast, it's no problem to keep up. I know as I used to have a VFR1200F with a racing ECU, the VFR800 had no problem to stick in my mirror. Honda are idiots for not producing this bike anymore thanks to the stupid EU-rulings on CO2, that turned out to be lies in total. I will not ever sell my VFR800Fi's, ride them until they crack, there isn't any better bike on the planet. The VFR800 does it all, great speed, great touring bike, great racer....what more do you want or need? And before I forget, they never let you down, they simply don't fall apart.

[@srvfr800]

No helmet hanger/lock ( was on the 5th gen). The stupid dual exhaust ( heavy). Rear shock ( no rebound adjustment). Stock seat ( crams ur nuts into the tank). Linked brakes (Maintenance and hoses). Steering bearings die at about 20K miles. A frikkin' bear to service. That being said, I love it to death....have had a 3th, two 5ths and a sixth generation bike. Well over 150K miles combined on these. All of them ran flawlessly until, in the case of the 3rd gen ( crash), one of the 5th gens ( run over by a chickee on her cell phone ) terminated their life. Still have one of the 5th gens and the 07RWB. ~VFR Steve

[@spiderjerusalem4152]

lol well played. I'm seriously considering this bike, so I thought, "Ok, HERE'S what I need to see. The BAD THINGS about the bike. This will help me decide." Then I'm waiting...and waiting...and waiting. nicely done, I didn't see it coming, haha!

[@RichyVida]

+Spider Jerusalem you're welcome ;-)

[@antonoat]

Lol Richy that was amusing. I bet you hate the fact that you can't think of ten things you hate about the VFR! LOL cheers

[@hiszpan25]

there is ONLY ONE THING i hate in VFR800VTEC - weight. could be some 50kg less :) this is amazing bike... I got mine since 10 years allready...

[@JodyCybulski]

Richy I have the vfr800 2009. Is your Africa twin at 100 HP and 77 ft lb torque as powerful as the vfr 800? I am contemplating getting a 1100 atas

[@zenrising3314]

Love my '07 Viffer, but yeah there are some things. 1) LED screen starts to have pixel issues after a while - certain bits fail to display. 2) The bike looks better from the side-back than it does from the side-front, due to the weird pointy nose. You have to virtually lie down on the road and look at it from the side-front for it to not look weird and pointy. 3) Styling is starting to look quite dated (though I still enjoy the weird angles of the thing, except from said pov). 4) Those glaring round headlights look like something off an old FZR. Honda should have given them a bit of shape to go with all the other angles on the bike. Otherwise, love the bloody thing.

[@TheRyan668]

Richy, quick question> Do you wave to other riders in the UK? right hand or left?

[@RichyVida]

We don't wave. We nod ;-)

[@mansellmovies]

I love this video. I have owned A VFR800 for a couple of years now and I love it. I just sent this link of your vid to a mate who is going to look at buying one on Tuesday night. Same colour as mine. He canny see green cheese. lol Hope your well Richy.

[@paulwood7798]

Every bike suits someone and brand snobery is embedded deep in many peoples minds. To you Rich you have a bike you love and cherish as i do with my Street Triple. I also love my BSB and TT and I do not care what brand wins as long as I have had great racing and the thrill of speed control and the sound of the motor. Good on you son and long may you make your vids.

[@weblefeck]

lol, and I thought "oh, this will be handy for when I think about buying one!" How about 10: Honda Dealers ?

[@RichyVida]

hahahah! BINGO! ;-)

[@johnpollard3038]

Well, that is the ‘pre-adjusted ‘ VTEC model, which can be dodgy if you are in a certain rev range when taking a lean through a corner - then it ‘snaps ‘ at you at 7K as you accelerate out. Thats why it lowered the VFR tone. The 2014 model irons that issue out (mostly) and is much better…. 😊

[@ExtremeDeathman]

I got one for you! No. 10: Everybody rides a boring silver one! And... that's about it...

[@zacht9447]

I've got a Red one haha

[@garylawton9688]

awesome vid, made me laugh. but in a serious note what exhaust do you have? were they expensive as I'm currently looking for a good set to make the V4 roar.

[@RichyVida]

+Gary Lawton they're Staintunes Gary. Sound bloody lovely!

[@garylawton9688]

+RichyVida cheers fella, I did think they sounded good! keep up the good vids, and ride safe.

[@joelpinto2413]

Another great video... as usual. And Richy, today, do not leave us you too... ok? Cheers from Portugal

[@bootz0409]

Five things I hate about this KZbin channel: 1. It's interesting enough to cause me loss of sleep. 2. The clarity of picture and sound quality are so good they drain my phone battery causing the inconvenience of multiple battery recharges. 3. Funny vids which cause me to Lol and wake my wife. 4. I learn so much about bikes and your vids foster this love interest to the point of my becoming disinterested in other hobbies. And finally.... 5. I spend too much time watching these vids which means I miss meals and now I'm starting to lose weight.... Oh! Ang'on'a'minute... that's a good thing!! 😂

[@RichyVida]

Haha brilliant! 🙌🙌

[@noonster55]

What a beautiful town you are riding through. I' hear you I have 4 VFR"S All 5th Gen. 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. I hate the yellow color on my 2000...

[@jllepupp7838]

the yellow one is stellar and the one to have!;)

[@benlegTiger]

Have a Thruxton R, a Tiger 800 and a 1999 VFR 800...love them all? The VFR is a gem!

[@利红]

Great video buddy, Question! I have a vfr the same as yours and find the throttle return spring very strong, so after 100 miles or so my hand is killing me. whats your thoughts. ? my hate is 0 storage

[@RichyVida]

+红 利 yes I do get wrist fatigue on long runs, but just get used to it. Got a massive right forearm now haha

[@ernieschatz3783]

1. Weak stator 2. no cruise control 3. No quick shifter 4. Short on power for its class 6. Front turn signals resemble lopped off elephant tusks 7. Seat won't recline. 8. No forward pegs and controls 9. No LED accent lighting 10. Falls far short of 200MPH.

[@wilswood8137]

Brilliant richy 😀😀👍👍 Made me proper laugh out loud 😂

[@RichyVida]

+roger wood nice to share a bit of sunshine in a morning! ;-)

[@andycampsall3832]

I’m thinking of getting a VFR not ridden for 14 years but people have raved on about these bikes for a long long time. Are they that good Richy?

[@RichyVida]

Get one and see! 👍

[@RBEmerson]

Just got around to this one. My K1200RS has a fair list of hates: $2000 for a new BMW (not rebuilt) ABS module, almost any meaningful [maintenance] means the tupperware comes off, and afterwards, which screws go where, and more. But I suspect I love my bike just [as] you do yours. :) [edited to clean up fat-fingered dyslexia]

[@RichyVida]

+Richard Emerson exactly the point, Rich!

[@zacht9447]

I've got an 02. 1. Bleeding the linked brakes is a nightmare, 2. oil changes mean you get oil on the header 3. My shoulders are a hair to wide for the mirrors 4. It's a wee bit heavy 5. the previous owner and the one before him were morons. 6. Honda doesn't make a sportier version that's lighter with more power. 7. I'm not riding it right now 8. Its rainy here right now and i don't have proper rain gear. 9.... Well I couldn't make it to 10 but most of these aren't issues with the bike haha

[@konyac1]

Lol, I thought you was trying to imply that the VFR was a perfect 10/10 bike. I'm sure I could prob find 10 niggles with my ZX6R starting off with its tappety cam tensioner, comfort, vibrations, mirrors, sitting position, suspension, e.t.c. But do you know what, I wouldn't change it for nought. Nice vids mate.

[@RichyVida]

+Jarred Roe good man. That's the thing isn't it. Character! Cheers for watching

[@andycampsall3832]

Lol I like the video. I’m guessing you love your bike 😊 I’ve not ridden for 12 years I’m 43 and thinking of getting a vfr800 I’m too old for leaning over tanks again (last bike was an r6) the vfr looks like a good bike......hmmmmmm 🤔 Subscribed so keep posting bro 😉

[@theoverall-w5j]

when the penny dropped ( 3:48 ) I burst out laughing. You are a genius!

[@alby291261]

Quality Richy I knew you wouldn't have any before it started lol👍

just bought one on saturday, and thanks. this video made my day

[@RichyVida]

Congratulations!

[@BeTouring_Bulgaria]

Of course there is nothing to hate about VFR :) it was so predictable. Great video Richy mate :)

[@VerbalKint742]

Cant find 10 but 6 are enough... 1)Electric Gremlins (...if you have the luck) 2) Heat coming from radiators (Mediterranean guy here) 3) Easily gets hot (more than other bikes, but not a real problem here) 4) Surging at low revs (PC + Mapping can fix this) 5) Locked ECU. (at -2006 models) 6) Kind of expensive service (VTEC valves especially)

[@marcindemczuk3906]

For me all above plus it's top heavy which means it's more difficult to counter when you start leaning it while standing. Exactly what happened to Richy when he "leaned" it over from center stand.

[@ziggyzig73]

Well thought out 10 things you hate about the VFR...very informative list ;) .... haha had a good laugh

[@happylemon666]

I don't want to put a downer on things, but there were 2 things that annoyed me about mine.......although it was not the bike itself it was pretty much perfect, it was more Honda I suppose. Incidentally you have a new fan! Just told my mother I watch your channel, so she looks you up, and gives me a running commentary over the phone of your ride over the Grossnockler, which I've already watched. "Think I'll watch some more of him" she said...

[@RichyVida]

+happylemon666 hey that's fantastic! Tell her thank you, from me! Did she enjoy the views over the Großglockner?

[@happylemon666]

+RichyVida she sure did. "he's a much better camera man than you" she kept reminding me. "he looks at the scenery."

[@stelightfoot9185]

How's the silver bullit performing anyways mate

[@gilescraven1580]

10. when you drop it, it breaks9. cost of replacement parts8. MPG 7. I should have got the one with the heated seat 6. Lack of self oiling chain 5. Service intervals 4. Lack of electric charge points for phone e.t.c. 3. Wing mirrors not big enough 2. A shade top heavy when parking up 1. How far it is to the dealer6 out of 10 will apply every bike you ever own

[@ay7pre]

how many miles per gallon do you make?!

[@ianrichardson3329]

great vid's rich, been meaning to ask... whats the case/holder you have for your iphone, i need something similar for my phone

[@RichyVida]

+Ian Richardson hi Ian. It's made by Tigra. iPhone 6 mount. 100% waterproof (tried and tested) won't let you down.

[@andycoomber6159]

adjusting the chain, cleaning the chain, replacing the f##kin chain. There's 3 for you. Past that it's......

[@RichyVida]

+andy coomber haha yeah I agree. Cleaning the chain (on any bike) is a thankless task!

[@AW8UK]

@RichyVida - VFR800 5th or 6th Gen are on my short list in next year or so. I have been reading online comments of some engine jerkiness on the earlier V-TEC ,(2002-2005), around 7k rpm. Not yet spoken to someone who actually owns this exact vintage of VFR - hence asking for owners opinion here ........ Any thoughts on this issue (or non issue) ? Thanks

[@RichyVida]

It’s not an “issue” it’s a trait. I love it. Obviously 👍

[@AW8UK]

Got that. Smoothness & safety were my concerns. Thanks

[@keithwilson609]

rabola 55...i have a white 2014 interceptor and love it. its no super bike but it is fun to ride. my only complaint is the weight. shes heavy. thats for sure but still rides well. overall i love it

[@nuttycbr6390]

Do you still have the vfr i am torn between getting a vfr or a cbr

[@RichyVida]

I do. She’ll never go anywhere. 👍

[@mrbilllonney]

Ohhh that made me laugh! I’m just researching the VFR’s as possibly my next bike and this makes me feel better about my decision. Any suggestions on what year of the 6gen to get? It must be a 6th gen! I currently have a Yamaha Warrior and had an 06 R6. I hope this won’t disappoint

[@RichyVida]

It won’t disappoint 👍

[@peterkoning21]

The 2 hates I had was that it shorted about 39kph, just a bit too slow. Also it needed more of an exhaust note....so I gutted the silencers and problem solved !

[@meercat6972]

Nice work mate. I own a '04 VFR and because i'm 6 foot 3 I find it a little cramped.. But otherwise an awesome piece of machinery.

[@claudiosantanaviera8582]

😂😂😂😂😂 Bravo! For someone who is looking for this bike, this is the ultimate test!

[@markcooper1505]

I'm with you, I love my VFR 800, I had a 954 blade and can honestly say this is as good, and I had my blade from new until 2018 and loved it only sold because at the time needed money for my business.......... But.... I can still think of some odd things about the vfr and the first has to be weight, after that comes a few little things that I can ignore or can alter for the better...all said and done....Great bike
