Got my Fi new June 2000. She's still with me but this year I decided to swap her in for the new F Interceptor, in white...gorgeous....wife told me not to do it, son in law told me not to do it, my lad told me not to do it....you have had the blue girl for so long since new and still looks like new, both my wife, son and daughter tokd me that I have shown to love her more at times than them but the time came...it was time to set her free, my hands shook, it was like letting one of the family go, a funeral for a VFR (Jezza excuse the pun lol). We here we are....with a tear on my cheek I got to the dealers....anticipation filled with optimistism that this was the right move. I looked the white girl in the slanted eyes and she looked great, younger for older, leaner, slimmer, great looking...the keys from my blue Fi babe in hand I walked over to the showroom to complete the deal, showroom guy came out to take another and see if all was good, I looked back for one last time at my great Blue VFR800FI 💙...I could see the look in her eye, she almost cried....then I came to my senses. 20 years we've been together and ridden through thick and thin top and bottom of the country and never once has she let me down why oh why would I do it. She looks as good now as when I came to see her the first time. Gorgeous...I went into the showroom and did indeed buy the F but never woukd I let my old girl go...I kept her to keep her where belo ngs....with me. I am now the proud owner of 2 VFR's....stablemates and much the better for it. So I ow how you feel Richy boy. Gazza

[@treasureadventures1975]

Richy, I'm fairly new to watching your videos.... really enjoying them! I found them because I was looking at what bike to buy any, I always fancied a VFR and found your videos... USA tour was awesome to watch!

Another great video, cheers 👍🏻 Loved your US Tour, loved your Picas adventures (spurred me on to get touring on my SV, then Covid hit :/ ) Fellow VFR fan too - even have a little NC30 project as you just cant beat than V4 sound. Looking forward to your next video, biking keeps us all positive despite all the news negativity we get these days - all we need is a great ride, awesome soundtrack, good friends and an awesome view for us all to awe at. Cheers 👍🏻

Thanks to you I downloaded calimoto and drove in the direction of Derbyshire and the Peaks. Had an amazing few days and feel like I've ridden every road! What an amazing place to ride a motorcycle 😎

You're absolutely right. I have a white one. Greatest motorcycle ever. I'll never sell mine until I'm to old to ride. Keep up the great vids!

[@jasonfinney259]

My first Interceptor was a new 1984 500 Interceptor, then in 1990 I bought a used pearl white VFR 700, and now my commuter is a 2014 Interceptor. Great bikes indeed, Richy. I really enjoy your videos. I would totally ride with you and the boys Friday but I live on the other side of the pond near Seattle.

[@MoSportsUSA]

Bought my 6th Gen new in '04. Bullet proof. Very few mods and still a daily rider. In fact, until I purchase a vehicle, it's my only transportation. I take care of it, it's never left me stranded. Still gets 40 mpg avg. though I don't baby it much.

[@garyday9438]

I’m with you being down, I’m not able/allowed to drive/ride until late Sept due to short stay in hospital and in recovery, cant wait until I can get out, really good to keep up with your trips/rides out and good to see old faithful out. Ride safe.

[@MrAlmar07]

Great to see you back out on your 1st love Rich mate. Aye, the other bikes of late have been cool, but this one has all those memories attached eh!! I'll say you're really looking forward to your time away with the lads!! I know I would be. Awrabesht to you & the family from me & mine pal. 😉💙👍

Yet again... Another great video.

[@pdx650]

Richy V., You feel the way I do about my ‘98 Vfr Interceptor. I want to get my feet wet on a 6th Gen, also, at some point. Probably with and without the vtec ‘snap’ when 6,800 rpms engages the 4 valves just so I can experience what other owners are saying. I’m happy you were able to post this video after not riding for a while (COVID-19). Kudos to a fellow vfr rider!

[@bertayoing]

Excellent Richy,i have a silver one same year as yours,done 70000 miles now,bought it last year for £800.i have 2 other bikes but this is the only one i "need"in reality.

[@TimHouriganMusic]

Have a maroon colour of the exact same 6th gen. Watching your channel made me want one. Riding a VFR..... made me love one. WHAT A BIKE.

[@RichyVida]

“Maroon”?! 😳 that is the “Candy Red” - my fav colour VFR! Have you got the silver or black frame?

[@TimHouriganMusic]

@@RichyVida sorry yes. Candy red. Silver frame pal.

[@markbteeps]

Great bike and great scenery, thanks for the video

[@andyrawlings5369]

Watched your clip again had all my vfrs started up today all went first press off the button roll on spring and hopefully no more lock down gave all 3 vfrs a pat on the seat I am like you will never sell any off mine only get another one to add to my collection the v4 is a perfect road road bike I am sure you will agree .

[@woooster71]

That sounds like epic trips! Would love to do something similar 👏🏼 I just purchased a white ‘91 VFR750, 14k miles, all original.. It’s my first VFR, which is surprising as I have owned more bikes than I can remember since ‘89 - and so far, I love it! 🔥

[@andyrawlings5369]

You hit nail on head vfr the perfect all round motorbike thats why i have 3 of them super smooth v4 loads off mid range grunt . Me thinks a trip round yorkshire dales where ever you go this weekend the weather is going to be very good me off to scottish boarders again going saturday another full day out will take the 750 viffer this time my 94 fr model went last week on the 800 one have a great weekend with the lads and a few pints.

[@keithwilliams4262]

Had my first shift on our vfr800 crossrunner blood bike yesterday and have to say I fell for it. So much so I find myself looking for one in a certain publication. I need to do more of the peaks. Its only 90 minutes away so no excuse really. Stay safe Rich

[@quarkiepo]

I'm back to biking after a 25 year gap, been watching your videos for years and decided to stop watching and start making my own trips! Thanks for getting me inspired! I love the bike!!! Would you recommend it as a first big bike or should I wait? Are some good deals around, would be great to have your views comparing how it's changed and the differences. Take care and happy Xmas!! 🥳🥳😊🙏

[@lonebiker931]

Cheers from Greece. I was looking for a 1100 xx and I came across a nice 2004 vfr in red, just like my Gen 5 girl so tomorrow I'm going to have a look at her and most probably I'll take her home this week. ❤️👍🇬🇷

[@stephenscharf6293]

Grrreat video, Richy! Really like your sensibilities. I have '99 5th Gen with only 27,000 miles on it. Just took it out of the garage for the first time in years, put fresh tires on it, and changed out the coolant and oil. I also "dangled the front end" after installing the new front tire/wheel acc. to a protocol by Delboy and suspension guru, Dave Moss, so now the front wheel runs perfectly true with respect to the chassis. BTW, I put an Öhlins three-way adjustable shock on mine and had the forks re-valved for my weight by a roadracing suspension guru. The bike now handles like _a dream._ Going to take it out for a ride through the Napa and Alexander Valleys today in Northern California. You'd know what countryside is like. 😉 Cheers, mate!

[@petehaworth5959]

Great to see the old girl in action again! As a long term owner of a silver ‘04 VFR I’m biased but have to agree, for me it is the perfect all round bike 👍 I know it’s divided opinion since it was launched but i love the VTEC motor and the key change when it kicks in gets me every time 😁🤘

[@RichyVida]

Same here, Pete. Hey, it’s like a song. If it divides opinion, it’s going to be successful! The controversial Vtec system, always divides opinion. Folk who own it love it, folk who don’t own it are in denial about it ;-)

[@lynsmith1096]

Good to see you out on the VFR Richy. I miss my 09 plate VFR.

[@RichyVida]

Every person I’ve ever spoken to who has moved on, regrets selling the VFR. I’ve never had someone say they had one and didn’t miss it. Thanks Lyn

[@tomolitravels2276]

I agree. I traded up to a Goldwing (non tour) and is better suited to me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t miss my VFR.

Great vid 👍 ..looking for a vfr for my next bike 🏍

[@michaelhart5886]

I'm on my 6th vfr currently. 1 vfr750 1997, owned 4 5th gens and currently a 2008 model with mods. Everytime i venture away from the mighty vfr i always come back to what is one of the best bikes made. Having owned over 25 different bikes there is just something about a vfr. Not the fastest, best handling etc etc but geez they suck you in. Made when honda produced utter quality stuff. Im running a power commandor 5 with custom map and she is really smooth with the vtec dip gone. Yss shock and .95kg fork springs. Dominator Mufflers which look like termis saved 5 kgs. Minus 1 and plus 1 rear on sprockets. Power 5 tyres. Shes a keeper

[@RichyVida]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dalesharpy9197]

I like your vids! I own a 2015 VFR800 DLX.... yes it does have on/off TC and ABS but I am thinking our love if the V4 and how it cruises effortlessly down the Motorway! I only have a SC Project Conic Slip-on.. but I love the sound under engine breaking and downshifts. The self canceling signals work awesome. I play hard on it at times, giving the V-Tech some work! I think it is a long time keeper. I got mine for the Honda discounted price to sell them at $7000USD. I bought it last year out of the crate. It was $13000 MSRP. Changing the oil is a task though! The front mounted single radiator has to be unbolted down low to pull it out to get the filter wrench cap on the filter. Chain tightening is easy with the single side swing arm and pinch bolt. Cheers from just south of Vancouver, B.C. Blaine, WA. Where the Peace Arch Stands.

[@IanTed]

Bought one new in 2002 in red, probably the best bike I ever had, so much fun and character. Hope you’re visiting Northumberland, recommended...

[@andrewnicola2003]

that VFR is a lovely bike innit, once I saw this kind with full carbon accessories, and pannier, and custom exhaust. sounded like a calmed Panigale V4. love at first sight. Cheers from Indonesia mate. wish I could find one for sale in my country tho. great video, nice scenery, enjoy.

[@mlcmotorcycling9392]

I think the VFR is still one of the best looking bikes. What a belter!

[@dongraham1559]

I know how you feel Richy about your VFR! I have the same feelings for mine, year after year of touring Spain and it has never ever missed a beat! Mine is in semi retirement now, moved to Crossrunner because of my bad back, but I'll never sell it,. I truly love it and when I start it up even after months, it always starts on the button! One thing to mention, I know you have never had the valves checked. I think with the mileage you have done you owe it to your girl to have the valve service, just in case! I bet they will not be too far out, but if one is closing up.... you just don't want to harm your lady! You know the man to do it for you, and it will certainly make good viewing!

[@RichyVida]

Thanks Don. It would make a good video, I’m sure. I do get asked about it all the time, so you’re maybe right, my friend. I’ll look into it ;-)

[@twoeyedbob]

Same here,although I didn’t have the option of keeping my 2001 Vfr . Did about 70k on 750 fr before that (absolutely loved both of them ). Cross runner is excellent although I do miss chasing sports bikes 😕 but my body was no longer happy on the vfr’s , Really need Honda to make a v4 mobility scooter 😂

[@dongraham1559]

Good man! It will give great peace of mind knowing there is no harm being done to your lady. Then you will enjoy your rides even more knowing she is in perfect health and capable of any Euro or trans USA tour, many more times!

Absolutely loved mine. I miss the V4 sound , the impact of hitting 7000 and hanging on . Had to let her go due to hip problems.

[@mars0030]

Yep they're a nice bike. Had one myself (silver of course!) and kept it five years. A record for me. If i still had it I'd certainly fit a quickshifter for that extra zing to go with the vtec coming in. Healtechs are very good. Go on, treat yourself .

[@guystevens162]

Yes i agree Richy the VFR800 is so photogenic and does not want to grow old at all. Oh them headlights hmmm have a few grazed knuckles changing mine lol. As for where you going maybe Edale lol. And keep safe. 🙂

[@machien321]

...thataboy Rich..🙂...like I said earlier, her lines are incredible..have a red 750 '95 (last 750 model) myself and god do I love her...had the regulator repositioned just above the radiator, so directly in the airstream and with that the only problem she's ever had is in the past for years now...wish I could ride allong with of one of your Wild Bad tours...

Having experience with 'Onda 2, 4 and 6 cylinders, from in line, Vee, (see what I did there) twins, to horizontally opposed 4 cylinder configurations, they're all awesome. Last time I rode a 4 pot Vee banger was my mates VF Thou' interceptor a lifetime ago, when it was 3 days old, in his Kett racing gloves, trainers, and a tee shirt (I kid yea not) with a helmet I swear has still disfigured my skull, - and I rode it at full tilt. Accordingly, I can really appreciate the gorgeousness of your silver dream machine (Blummin 'eck - what a great film title - but we need to find a Cockney to star in it). I love that you'll never get rid. Same here (well - there) with the love of my 2 wheel life pal - which is still a 4 - but parallel - as God intended 😘. Think its in the Book of "Rev"ellations 👀

Hey Richy, love the videos. Just wondering what year is your VFR?

[@RichyVida]

Cheers! She's a 2003

[@BodybuildingSteve]

definitely in the top 5 of best sounding engines too, the 5th gen holy grail is amazing but the 8th gen vtec is so smooth and its hard not to grin when vtec kicks in

We all love our own bikes! I wouldn't swap my Tiger Sport for anything😊 I was thinking of getting better bulbs for my bike. What H7 bulbs do you use Richy?

[@MDHenry4]

It does look perfect! Engineers masterpiece. Got to find a spot In the living room.

Because of your videos I'm goin to get a VFR and can't wait. I'm reading horror stories about the stators and rectifiers burning out.Since ur Mr VFR had you any trouble with these issues or is the Internet blowing it out of proportion. Thanks

[@RichyVida]

Not really a horror story. Yes, I’ve had the problem. Check them when you look. See if they’ve been changed. If not, think about changing them, and make sure they’re genuine. Not really expensive, and once they’re changed you’ll be good. Change the battery as well. 👍

@@RichyVida thanks for the reply mate. Love your videos keep up the good work

[@alexmorgan3435]

Good to see you back in leather although prefer your old jacket.

[@darrenmcallister1307]

Great vid as always mate, is the Vfr heavy on your wrists? I seen u can buy the risers, just thought I would ask your opinion. Cheers

[@RichyVida]

Not personally. I know folk who have fitted the risers, and said it would motives their personal riding experience though, so always an option.
