Using the watch crystal glass is a smart idea. Is the 17.9 on the label the diameter in mm? I wonder if the VF500 will be the same diameter? I...
Modern thous are insane. Just be grateful we can still purchase these machines. I think if the health and safety types really knew what modern...
Modern 600s are amazing. Just watch supersport racing for an idea. They aren't that much slower than the thous these days.
Zombie thread alert. I love this site. Every issue I have with my VF500 has been discussed to death already. I spose that's the advantage of...
Went to the British Superbike races on it. Round trip of 600 miles. Went with a friend on a Honda Blackbird. Had trouble keeping up but I managed....
I got mine on Ebay(UK) OK. Loads of sellers there. Search for "VF750 silencer" or maybe for you "VF700 muffler"?
From a UK/Ireland perpective, I personally don't think it is a good investment to put money into VFs or CBXs. They were both decent enough bikes...

Seems somewhat overpriced to me. Be surprised if they get any bids. eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
I agree. Don't get hung up on the numbers. Try top ending the bike. If you get close to the speed others get there can't be too much wrong with it...
Not news to most on here I suspect but it may be useful to someone. I have been checking stuff on my 86 VF500F2 Euro model and I spotted the pilot...
Yes, no problems about it working as a brake but maintenance was a PITA. Removing the wheels turned from a relatively trivial exercise into a...
I had a VF400 in the UK in 1984. In its day it was an OK bike. I agree with the other sentiments expressed above that it is a pretty old bike now...
After every ride :smile:
AOL. This is the reason I bought a VF engined bike. I want the trouble it brings. Modern stuff is just too boringly reliable.
But again you have no real evidence to back this up. It's just anecdotal. There are VF500s in the UK with huge mileage and I assume the cams are...
