    Clutch Release Point 5th Gen

    You got that right. The rawness of the VTR is a great contrast to the sophistication of the VFR. Both of mine are red and my wife thinks they're...

    Brake pads?

    I think EBC HH pads are fantastic, so much better bite than stock. As for disc wear I can't really comment, my bike has done 90K km and the discs...

    Stripped shift pedal
