I Can't Remember The Last Time I Filled Her 🤫

[@dogzero1]

Ahh the old Richy Vida I remember. And the VFR. Best video for ages.

[@paulgriffiths6404]

Great to see the VFR out. Sounds amazing. Still Sounds exactly the same as it did on your 2013 Croatian tour. Amazing bike.

[@kevinjbreslin7111]

I bought my vfr 5 years ago after watching your channel, it soon became my dream bike, after doing more research into them. I’ve started a motorcycle club/group with this bike which now has 1400 members, I’ve lead out hundreds of bikes on charity events and also unfortunately lead out funerals,. I’ve lead out bikes on a dying man’s last birthday, I’ve spent ££££ on it through out the years, I’ve changed the colour 2 times wheel colour 2 times, there’s not a nut and bolt untouched, il never ever sell this bike either. Others have then bought vfr after seeing mine.. isn’t it crazy the knock on affect your KZbin channel had ? This bike to me now is extremely sentimental and il never ever sell it, my other bike is also immaculate which is a 929rr Fireblade.. the vfr videos of yours will always be my favourite

[@stuarthull5706]

Haven’t watched you for awhile because of the content was not interesting, now a vlog on the VFR definitely interested as sounds epic 😂

[@Chris-mn7yy]

100% best RichyVida video, been waiting for it. I adore my VFR.

[@RichyVida]

Thank you. Yes, me too. Such a stunning machine/model ❤️

[@Wats1984]

Come on Silver Lady take my word I won't run out on you again believe me Oh I've seen the light! Great to see the silver lady out again!

[@reinmansmith]

You’re 100% right about your attachment to a bike that you’ve had for a long time and done many trips with. They definitely become something that you have a genuine relationship with. My 1983 BMW R100RS has carried me to all four corners of the UK as well as many European trips. I trust her implicitly to get me there and back home again and, like you said, there is always a feeling that we are in the adventure together and I’ll admit to giving her a little pat and a thank you when we finally arrive back home from a trip. In June my friend and I (with him on his 1983 RS as well) did a trip via a selection of the highest Alpine passes via France, Italy, (including the Stelvio Pass) Switzerland and back via the B500 in Southern Germany and both bikes performed perfectly. Following your trip to Morocco we’ve now planned a trip there next April following a similar route and I have every faith in my old girl getting me there and back …. Like your VFR, she’ll be with me until I screech up to the Pearly Gates exclaiming, “that was a hell of a ride!!” 👍

[@RichyVida]

Amazing comment! I’d hate to not have that connection with a bike.

[@EmeraldExplorer1200]

Good to see the Silver Lady out again, it's been ages since you posted a video with her.

[@ReMotorcycle]

I believe she was your only bike when I found you. You were testing the first Africa Twin and ended up buying it. The audio quality of that evening ride was why I hit subscribe. Then I watched the USA trip and got to know the VFR. No idea how you rode it that far leaning forward! Anyway, now here we are!

[@RichyVida]

Aah thanks for that! Nice to hear how and why you found/stayed 👍

[@tim_biller]

I know exactly how you feel. My Sprint ST is the same age and despite her being stolen (and then recovered) recently she's a keeper for life, no question.

[@IanTed]

Loved mine too…

[@michaelinkster4977]

Some engines are difficult to start after leaving them for a while - it’s seemingly due to ethanol in modern-day fuels creating gummy deposits. I recently bought fuel stabiliser to add to various engines not being used over winter but I find that I don’t need that in ANY Honda engines, be they bikes, lawnmowers, outboard motors or whatever. Really reliable too!

[@RichyVida]

She fired up (for the MOT run) for the first time in almost a year I think, like I’d pulled her into the garage only the day before. Absolutely spot on

[@James-Eddie-Insley]

It's still my favorite bike of yours. Nice to see the Silver Lady out again. You need to take her on another tour.

[@RichyVida]

Yes, I do. Thanks James

[@MikeWalden-t1c]

I know exactly what you mean, I have a 2000 Fiw in blue, had it from new. Still feels good to ride and is irreplaceable, they simply don’t make them any more! It’s a keeper alongside the 1200 Tiger.

[@davewash50]

Nice to see a proper lady back out Rich. Just looks right!! Thank you👍

[@Sidetops11]

I have a new Africa Twin and and a 2012 VFR like yours. The Africa Twin is a stunning bike and I adore it, but the VFR is something else. If I had to choose in only keeping one, the VFR would be it. Best bike in the world.

[@RichyVida]

Aah that’s great to hear. Yes, indeed. Something very special about the VFR. No question.

[@gerkeane5626]

@richyvida … yup , just getting around to watching this vid now ….exactly the reason I started following/ subscribing to you ….. other vids are great but can’t beat sound and look of vfr 👍👏👍…. Mine is a gen 5 …. You have to get the Lady over here to Ireland again soon

[@debbieclegg2485]

It's definitely a stunning machine ... (my ex had a Vfr in red, I think that swayed my decision way back then.. when he got a yamaha Fazer 🤔it changed everything 😆! ) thankfully I met someone after the divorce that is a KTM man .. a rider needs some grit in their life .. stability too .. life with the right mbike .. its everything huh (I sound really shallow now 😅.. but life story not required! Huh!!!) .. good to see the silver dream machine out ... its you RV ... its your thing ... unique is a fab trait 👍✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@neilwiddison6529]

I still have my 97 vfr love it

[@touc2001]

Just stumbled across your video. I’m waiting for my first bike to be delivered. Yep an 02 VFR V4 Vtech. Can’t wait for it especially after watching your vids

[@RichyVida]

Congrats!

[@mohdhilmitahit8748]

The great memories with that lady....😊

[@daystate123]

Excellent... Finally decent content and the reason i subscribed

[@RichyVida]

“Finally decent content”?!

[@daystate123]

​@@RichyVidayep...thank you

[@JayVtec-GAMING]

Yay, a VFR video! 😁👊

[@markchapman3890]

Brilliant..! What a machine .! Think she is crying out for a mini tour at least..!!

[@RichyVida]

Agreed

[@adrianojes1]

Bom... bom... ❤ Acompanhei tuas grandes aventuras com a Dama Prateada 💯 é bom vê-los de volta. 🤗🇧🇷

[@Jim-nm1en]

Nice to hear the sound of your VFR again Richy. How about some more vids on VFR ?

[@RichyVida]

Yes, definitely

[@danweston6043]

Marnin pal. Proper good bike that 🤙👍

[@TheTypeRTheory]

VFR! Hell yeah.

[@speedbird8528]

Am I wrong? I don't like the twin cylinders. I prefer the fours. Generally less vibration, and a smoother power delivery, with the ability to ride at low rev's in top gear. Great ride out again Richy.

[@andyrawlings5369]

Been waiting for a long time rich for a vfr clip off the sliver lady good to c her again i am the same with my 2 vfr750 models will never sell them had both a long time still have my vfr 1200 f as well the v4 honda engine is a beauty you must next season do more rides on it and more clips. You still need to get that right hand mirror bolt cleaned up or replace it ! the rest off the bike looks mint i know you like your AT but adventure bikes are not for me still like the sports tourer models and yes i have just fitted some michelin road 6 GT to my vfr 1200 had some road 5 before best tyres i have ever had so thought i would try the 6 out .

[@debbieclegg2485]

Ooopa... Hooters 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🙈🍻

[@MrSimonfoz]

I feel the same when I jump on my ZZR1400 after riding my adventure bike for ages .

[@IanTed]

My 2002 (early model with ABS) was perhaps the best bike I’ve had, but I’d still prefer to ride my Multistrada today which has a lovely V4 too, great sound..

[@DanceMusic1957]

Watcha mate, great too see the silver lady out and about again...What year is it..? i had a 2003 that had as standard ABS with the dual braking system..after a few months of riding found that the wrists were hurting so had a new yoke fitted with superbike handlebars still fitted perfect with the fairing.👌 found it alot better too ride then for me... Regards Glenn.👍

[@RichyVida]

2003, too. 👍

[@lifeontwowheels1206]

nice to see you on her

[@johnreid9818]

Not a VFR but I have a 1999 CBR600FX with around 50K miles on it, owned from new, went to the Catalan GP for my honeymoon on it, can’t sell it. It’s part of our family history. Sentimental value not just for me

[@headrace4863]

Richy+vfr+Derbyshire… the world is good.

[@mum-0217]

Not really seen alot of it apart from the intro. It looks a nice bike and seems to handle well despite the lack of technology.

[@eithne50]

That title really is a cry for help. I hope you get the support you need.

[@paullee6663]

I was talking to a guy in the Pico's in 2018 he was on a new (ish) KTM I was on my Honda 500 single (1985) He was riding with a group of about 5 other riders. He said to me 'We're here on 'holiday' You're on an 'adventure'. Ironically, there was a 2013 Ducati 'stranded' in a car park in Potes that kept blowing the main fuse....Apparently he had to be recovered the year before.... 'We' did way over 1500 miles and she never missed a beat... and returned in 2019 and did over 2K miles....We were booked for 2020 but we all know how that went....

[@timothyopie1880]

Out on my VFR last Sunday like you Rich will not part with this one. Over the past forty years I have owned seven VFRs. It's a shame Honda stopped manufacturing them.

[@RichyVida]

Great to hear, Tim! Hope you and Sue are all good. Give her a cuddle for me!

[@onhiswavediscoveringthaila6862]

vfr.... the best

[@MB-qk5it]

That was interesting 🤔

[@denismustafa4225]

❤❤❤❤

[@p1lts1]

Sneaky timing that Mr V! At least I beat @PP and Kev 🤣

[@5tevieb954]

Love the title…. You’ve also swapped Africa twins so it’s not the same bike where as it was that one VFR that took you that way

[@RichyVida]

Yep, exactly. I adore the AT, but it’s just not the same

[@norriemasson4080]

Ricky is the Silver Lady a Gen 5 VFR and do you know if Paul’s White VFR Gen 6

[@RichyVida]

Mine is Gen 6. Paul?

[@norriemasson4080]

@ The Welsh guy who did the USA Adv with you he rode a White VFR

[@RichyVida]

Aah Andy. Yes, his was the same, 6th Gen

[@norriemasson4080]

@@RichyVida thanks Richy

[@michaeldunlap3401]

Do you have plans to come back to the United States. Your vfr reminds me of When you went to the us.

[@RichyVida]

Yes Sir! ‘26 will be the 10th anniversary of our trip in ‘16.. TEN YEARS?! 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@michaeldunlap3401]

@ cool. I started a KZbin channel and your ideas have given me cool places to go. When you come out again it would be cool to ride with you. I proudly wear the wildbad touring sticker on the trunk of my Goldwing. In the last four years I have traveled 12,000 miles across the U.S. I know it’s hard to meet up with people because you don’t know what to expect. I’m mile marker mike KZbin. Also hope to make it to Europe some day. I was stationed there a in 1991 at Lakenheath. Love your videos. I continue to follow you since your us tour

[@RichyVida]

Thank you, Mike! Soon as we know exact route, I’ll let ya know

[@harrypalmer7169]

Love my Road 6 GTs, the stiffer walls help no end with my Suzuki's weight, Shhhh, they don't make her bum look big.
