Picking Up Gaz's New Honda VFR800 Vtec

[@rochmel1409]

I'm watching this with my VFR purchased last summer all prepped and ready in the garage for when the restrictions are lifted. I could really feel the excitement of that 'new bike feeling' coming through. Enjoy the Africa Twin!

[@holeephuk]

I am watching this and waiting august so I can come to Croatia and buy vfr800 and give her good shakedown 😂

[@iSlanderEST]

Nothing beats the feeling of getting the first bike :D

[@crackerjack8115]

Love them bikes. Got me sold on one thanks mate.

[@ian1patterson]

That's my back yard! Been all over the Buxton hills with much enjoyment!.....you can hardly move in Superbikes now they've got that many bikes in.

[@kghwanadoo]

Just picked up mine between Xmas and new year same colour with top box. Difference is that it was cold wet and raining. Can’t wait to get on roads like that in the sunshine. Derbyshire is stunning

[@RichyVida]

Congratulations!

[@kghwanadoo]

@@RichyVida goes nicely with my 83 VF750FD also a red one, problem is now which one to take out, I already love the VFR, but the VF’s now historic, bit like me! Great vids

[@RichyVida]

Excellent collection, my friend!

[@wezdarsit]

Been watching some VFR videos I love the sound of yours on acceleration just beautiful and your freind has a great bike great videos 👍😊

[@ecaribe2000]

Nice bike, I have a 03 silver. They are great machines.

[@RichO1701e]

same here

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

I had to watch this again especially as I've just put a deposit down on a beautiful 2006 VFR800 ABS from the very same place! I'll be picking her up tomorrow or during the weekend, I cant wait. :D

[@RichyVida]

+Steve Walton congrats, Steve! Let us know how you get on!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

I will mate! Really excited, I'm not too far away either so would love to meet up in the near future :D

[@steveo4141]

Nice bikes.... I've owned a 2005 vfr800 for the last 4yrs ...very happy with it.. Put on 18000kms...no problems.... Get the sergent seat big difference in comfort level from stock... Michelin power pilot tires suit this ride perfectly... Would also advise voltmeter wired directly to the battery so you can keep an eye on charging system. Goin to be adding a soundbomb horn this year as OEM horn is useless as are most OEM motorcycle horns. VFR800 really is an excellent all round bike.

[@TheMATTYB1234]

Great stuff. Jeez Richy your friend looks like your long lost younger brother! I often think it would be good for an experienced rider to go out with and experienced rider and talk about what they see and what they are thinking as they ride. Did it once and the other rider was amazed by how much was going on while riding, especially reading behaviours etc. I suppose when your younger you just want to get out there though. Hope it goes well for him.

[@IamLawro]

I'm picking up my first Viffer on Saturday afternoon, can't wait!

[@RichyVida]

Yes!! Good luck!

[@darralnolan5792]

Looks great in red I'm looking at the same bike for my first bigger bike too

[@arabianjules]

great choice of first bike, mine was, love my vtec!

[@arabianjules]

my first ride after passing my DAS was a vtec vfr, also lined up an 800Fi but its battery was flat, and after riding the vtec and liking them since they came, job done! :)

[@flawlessspraylimited]

That feeling first big boy nice

[@angelina-louisa]

The bike that is! ❤

[@RichyVida]

😂

[@davidandnicoleslife]

i hope he enjoys it! i cant wait for this 3ft of snow to melt to be able to ride mine!

[@RichyVida]

I'm the same David, but we don't have snow here in the UK now. Where are you? I've seen some pics of the east coast, looks crazy!

[@davidandnicoleslife]

i live in quebec. about 1hr from montreal. it is really gross and cold. -20 -.-

[@RichyVida]

Woah, that is cold!

[@lliguf]

a new bike,, the best feeling ever!... ride safe brother , watch out for idiots..

[@fredblogsmac.5697]

i love the drone of yer bike,

[@richiektm]

He did really well getting a nice bike from the Superbike factory and I must admit I’d be quite happy never to do cat and fiddle on any bike ride I can’t stand the place it’s either cold wet windy or somebody’s fell off the bike

[@Baza765]

What did you and Gaz reckon to Superbikes,now he's had it awhile, service and after service,,,Cheers Baza

[@toe-cutter3611]

yep ill join in saying viffs are ace. Got an 03 silver one too.

[@5tevieb954]

Missed this one in the back catalogue, nice little treat … well apart from the potty mouth 😂

[@RichyVida]

Oops haha

[@motorcyclerefurbishment8162]

ThoseVFR's are sooo nice.......

[@Gavdrums]

What was the name of the garage you went to? Im in Ireland and would contemplate getting next bike from U.K.

[@alleywatson]

Hi Rich, love the vids, just a quick question what walkie talkie do you and your mates use to talk to each other, thanks

[@RichyVida]

alex watson You mean Intercom? We use the Scala Rider G9. Great unit. There is an upgrade now - G9x - It's not really any different though.

[@alleywatson]

Thanks. I presume eBay sells it.

[@RichyVida]

They do yes.

[@johnfragos7660]

Top vid. Congrats to Gaz on his first bike (two years late lol). So is the vfr easy enough to ride even for a brand new biker? Did gaz find it difficult in his first couple of months on the bike??

[@RichyVida]

+john fragos I think the weight took some getting used to as a first bike, but he loves it.

[@angelina-louisa]

My other half! ❤❤❤

[@devotedBG]

Hi! :) I'm interested in the VFR. I did find 2 bikes... but I'm not sure of byuing any of them because the first one is said to be a 2007 model, but is painted in the cool white+black scheme, which (as far as i know) is only for vfr from 2009 -i think this means the bike was seriously damaged in a fall and rebuild...And the second one is a 2006 vfr claimed to be a vtec but according its documents is from January06 and i think the vtec is mounted in vfr late 2006... I need some clues from passionate vfr riders. Please, help me with some advices! :( Also...i wonder if it is a suitable bike for a tall rider? (above 195 cm) ? :(

[@RichyVida]

+Николай Цонев the vtec model started in 2002 I believe (maybe 2001). Absolutely great bike. I love it as much as I ever did.

[@illeodavinci]

Николай Цонев i own a 2003 VFR 800 VTEC and she flies after 7000 rpm , you realy feel the valves open :)

[@DrB187]

Would you say the VFR800 is a good bike to start on? I have been looking at a CBR600F, but I like the VFR aswell...is the power uncontrollable? would you be able to give any insight int the matter, would be appreciated....cheers in advance mate

[@illeodavinci]

D B i have a 2003 VTEC and shes a beast over 7000 rpm but under that very easy bike ;)

[@davidsquarepants1256]

how reliable is the vfr800? alot of people say their are problems with the vtec systeam

[@RichyVida]

There are no problems with the vtec system. Some people just moan about it. Most people that moan about it are owners of the pre vtec model. However, people who own a vtec model absolutely love it, myself included.

[@davidsquarepants1256]

RichyVida what about a 2002 model of the vfr800 is it still reliable? Im inbetween a vfr800 and a fz1 2003-2006

[@davidsquarepants1256]

RichyVida I just can't make up my mind lol

[@RichyVida]

I can't comment on the pre vtec as I'm not familiar with it, but I do know their owners are just as passionate about them as we are about the vtec..

[@davidsquarepants1256]

RichyVida okay that good enough 😊

[@leschaplin]

RichyVida how did your mate find the superbike factory? am just in process of buying one from them

[@RichyVida]

Hi, Les.. Yeah no probs at all. Seemed like a nice fella who runs it. He let us take it for a test with no strict rules or anything. What Ya buying mate?

[@leschaplin]

Funny enough red vfr, with full luggage, al post pics up on your FB mate when I get it pal

[@RichyVida]

That's awesome mate! Yeah put some pics up when Ya get it. Mention the video to the fella as he was sniffing around the camera when we were there, and I told him there'd be a film of it. Good stuff :-)

[@leschaplin]

Will do pal, have always wanted one an when you was looking for a new bike but said couldn't find anything as good think that made my mind up

[@RichyVida]

Super! Hope you like the VFR as much as I / we do!

[@angelina-louisa]

I'm literally rubbing my thighs. Biker heaven!

[@RichO1701e]

Well, the superbike factory certainly hasn't changed 5yrs later, it's still quantity over quality.

[@alanhesse2507]

I Can’t believe he never negotiated a tank of petrol lol

[@Ianj1983]

Gaz needs a camera now..

[@martinbond461]

I have an identical bike to the red one. However, I wouldn't dream of having that big red fridge stuck on the back. It absolutely ruins the look of the bike. Get it removed asap lad!

[@grapewater123]

It would probably look better if it wasn't colour coded

[@martinbond461]

@@grapewater123 I don't think any box or pannier looks good on the VFR. It completely ruins the look of the bike. Only my opinion of course! 🙂

[@grapewater123]

@@martinbond461 I think if you get the right one they can complement the bike and can make the rider look more adventurous or interesting... Though the fridge comment was kind of true and did make me laugh

[@tngchinghwa]

top box should never go with sports bike

[@danvanbelk1]

Tony Tng But it's not a sports bike, it's a sports touring bike 😄
