3 year ownership long term review on a 2011 Honda VFR800fi VTEC RC-46

She's a beauty.... I couldn't find a white and black model and ended up with a Candy Cherry Red version 2006. Love it.

My 2009 vfr sits in the garage for weeks without battery issues. German winter is long and cold. The electronics on your model should be perfect. Honda had problems with empty batteries on the 5th generation. Nice bike, looks great in white with the black frame. A touring video with your vfr and your thoughts would be good. Regards, Uwe

I have silver wheels on my silver 2008, I'm still cleaning the rear wheel all the time but you don't see chain lube anywhere near as much as with white

I wish honda still produced a V4....they made a 1200cc V4. With some more engineering, if they could get the HP up, they could have a great motor to compete with Aprilia and ducatis v4 in the super naked/touring bike class. But instead, honda decided to make the CB1000R which looks beautiful but they used the old cbr1000 motor and then detuned it (never understood why manufacturers do this)...so now honda has a 1000cc naked bike that can not compete with the competition as far as performance...that's my rant...honda has great potential but refuses to make a fast bike for some reason

Yeah I totally agree with you mate! Its very sad!

[@xboxice2005]

Nice i have the 2006 Gen 6 model same as yours, hey did you do the chain and sprocket your self?

[@mrxss1]

Nice mate! I ended up paying a good mechanic to do it.

[@Harold_Shand]

Consider ceramic coating that back wheel, will make cleaning much easier.

[@mrxss1]

Good idea! Thanks!

[@teokastelan2930]

Nice bike. I’m thinking to buy one 2011 23tkm. That’s nothing for vfr

[@mrxss1]

Awesome mate, good luck!

[@teokastelan2930]

@@mrxss1 Thank you ! I was thinking that the vfr is more expensive. It’s not. Over 20 years ago I had VF750f 1985 model and I really like that v4 engine.

[@jasonjaeger3898]

Cool review, how it feels on highway speeds?

[@mrxss1]

Thanks, its pretty good actually, 6 gear is quite tall so it sits on 5500 RPM doing 110km/h on they freeways. Its also very smooth and quiet even with the cat back exhaust.

[@jasonjaeger3898]

@@mrxss1 I have the a 2009 one, chrome color. I generally like it alot but i have a few weird sensations when on the highway. I feel uncovered even at 178cm height and kinda unstable, like the wind affects it, That´s why I am asking.

[@mrxss1]

Oh okay, im pretty tall 186cm and there is a bit of wind buffering now that you mention it.

[@jasonjaeger3898]

@@mrxss1 Good to know, thanks dude :)

[@christosganidis]

@@jasonjaeger3898 mine (also a 2009 model) sits like a train on highways, hardly any movement at all. im 191 cm and i have an aliexpress windshield on it

[@brentbauer8258]

Pretty low for its age…lol. I ride a 1984 Honda vf750f with 60000km, but dam the whit rims look nice
