Currently riding a 2019 Himalayan for local riding on our bumpy back roads and dirt roads.

Haven't had a sporty road bike for some years, I did own a 1989 VFR 750 back in 1991 for a couple of years also a VF 500 and a VF 750, so plenty of V4 experience, albeit decades ago.

My main concern is with tyre wear and the dreaded valve clearances (something that never concerned me years ago).
It's gonna be...

I registered on the forum a week or two ago. I've made a few posts, but no formal introduction.

I just recently bought my first VF, an 86' VF1000R. Some of you are familiar with my bike. I bought it from Kaplan in Rockville, Conn. I paid $6,950. I don't think that I over paid, but you guys and gals are better informed than I am about these bikes and you may have other thoughts.

Before I bought it I knew the bike wasn't what they were saying it was. They represented...

In August my 8th Gen was written off thanks to my insurance company deciding it was cheaper to write it off than fix it.
I was waiting in the queue for a toll station when the truck in front of me just reversed into my motorbike and crushed the whole front end. After months of seaching it is very clear that finding a similar spec RC97 VFR with full factory luggage is like hunting for a unicorn, so for now my Street Triple 765...

now just need to hunt down a PC V or a rapid race module, haha.

My name's Rich and I recently picked up a 2008 VFR800 Vtec.

It was my friends bike for many years but he's given up riding having not ridden it for a couple of years now, so I took it off his hands. It was in a sad state (and is still in some areas) but I plan to make it a nice looking bike again.

Pictures to follow but here's one of it at the start of the process.

Now I am back riding a 2008 VFR 800. It was new old stock when I bought it in July of 2010. It was still in the crate. I flew to the city where the dealer was on a one way flight. After all the paperwork and money changing hands I rode my new bike 270 miles back home. I didn't consider how the hot weather would be in late July....

My current bike is a 2007 VFR800 (super low miles 5k ish)

My first VFR800 was a new 2003 I bought in Springfield Missouri.

2nd was 25th anniversary (very sad I sold this one)

3rd was a 2014 that I purchased new in 2016. (i lived in Atlanta at the time and people kept trying to run me over)]]> 2 Mon, 12 May 2025 02:42:25 +0000 https://vfrworld.com/threads/howdy-from-texas.62372/ https://vfrworld.com/threads/howdy-from-texas.62372/ invalid@example.com (Burger) Burger

Just under 20000km, nice condition except for bad brakes. Warped disc makes the whole front shake when braking at speed. Quite annoying. Besides that, love the bike.

Bought mine (2006 model) a few yeard ago from a friend because of extensive oil consumption. Took out the original engine and replaced with a spare one. Original is benched untill I find the time to overhaull it completely. So for now riding a little Frankenstein VFR and loving it all the time.
Ride save you all!

I have my 3rd VF now after a long time without one.

Had a VF750F from new when it was released in the UK.
Did a mod on the engine to stop the CAM wear issue.
Sold that and then purchased another in late 1980's

Had a Fireblade 954 for several years.

After about about 10 years without a bike, back on a VFR800Fi 1998, and love the V4 motor.

Have had a few other brands but you cant beat Honda for build quality and reliability.]]> 3 Tue, 14 Jan 2025 19:52:38 +0000 https://vfrworld.com/threads/first-vfr800f-owner.62186/ https://vfrworld.com/threads/first-vfr800f-owner.62186/ invalid@example.com (ibipancevo) ibipancevo
