    '98VFR800 and '99 Valkyrie - one to go fast, one to go slow, not necessarily in that order.

    Some asked why there were spec for the 3rd gen but not the 4th. Seeing as we also have spec of other generations, I felt it appropriate to add the 4th gen, too.

    It might also help those searching for a vfr to compare some of the differences between the different generations. :-)

    you could just throw them all together in a spreadsheet for everyone that always asks, what's the difference between 4th and 5th etc. Then you could put it in the VFR wiki.

    Aren't JDM 4G+ VFR's detuned? Maybe this is true for EU spec bikes, too?

    To see all the changes from 3rd to 4th, get a 95 service manual. It lists everything and then the changes for 94 up. Along with drawings. There are A LOT of small changes. Some good, some so-so.

    I have a collection of articles when the 3rd gen was new and they list it as 79 hp. Is one rear wheel, and the other engine? It seems like 20% loss is a lot.

    Had mine dynoed at 32K miles, thou I have a KN air filter and a Staintune, it pulled 97HP 55 torque. I too have the Factory manual where it has inserts showing whats different between the two versions, some are minor, some not so.
