Seems to me that the bike's charging system should be able to keep the battery charged, regardless of motor speed... The battery on this bike...
So I had the afternoon off. And it was 80 degrees out today. So off on the VFR I went! I was having a great ride, heading north into PA and...
That's so senseless. I'd want to go Dirty Harry on them, too, but honestly, what are the chances of catching them? I guarentee it was a...
My thoughts exactly. I just took my new (to me) VFR for a 2hr spin. At NO POINT was I wishing for more power. I'm still in that "honeymoon"...
My Hawk GT is a california model. I did this very thing to remove the ACV (Air Control Valve) and PCV (Purge control valve), trying to correct a...
There's a thread over at sport-touring.net about a guy who did a 270* flip on his ZX-14, just by getting on the throttle a little too hard. He...
Also, I'd be keeping a detailed, written record of all the interactions you're having with the shop. If, god forbid, something falls apart that...
Re: what bad valves sound like: I don't know, really. Generally: poor milage, running rough, clattering sounds from the motor... I've haven't had...
2 bikes here... A Hawk GT as my city/commuter/backroad burner and a VFR750 as my sport/tourer. At least, that's the plan... the VFR is brand...
There are a few "lessons learned" here. "Don't get cocky" applies not just to dismounting, but to everything pertaining to a new bike....
I've got 7200 on my new-to-me 4th Gen. Way, way too low. I hope to correct that this summer! :)
Congrats on the "new vintage" 80s bike! Sounds like you nabbed a good one! Enjoy it... it's totally unique and will turn as many heads as a Duc!...
Get used to it... more and more japanese bikes are going following the Buell example with those low exhausts. It makes sense to me. It's a heavy...
I bought a pair of actual "Honda" brand boots... they say "Goldwing" on the sole and everything. They're very well made, and don't look too...
I hear ya... I'm coming from a Hawk GT, which by my reconing is a fast bike. By comparison, my VFR is a rocket! I really just wanted the VFR for...
I'll throw my $0.02... If your wife can't ride a bicycle, she has no place on a 700cc multi, dude. I really, really think a VFR700 is a bad idea....
Yeah, them's the gear driven cams! I just got my VFR, too. You're right, it does have a decidedly "sci-fi" sound to it. I haven't gotten to...
I jumped on the Conti Road Attack bandwagon last week. I only got to ride 20 miles on them, but they sure felt nice. Very light turn-in. I got...
That's exactly what's bugging me! I'm used to my Hawk... I can crank on that thing actually have FUN in city traffic. On the VFR, it's a much...
In my life, I've owned four Honda vehicles...two Accords, a Hawk GT, and a VFR... they all do this, or something like this. My VFR's headlights...
