Late to this party, but I'll chime in anyhow. I've got the Givi E21's as well and have used them for a couple of seasons. I typically do a...
Congrats on the great new addition to your family! The Gen 6 is gonna treat you so nicely! Throw up some pics when you can, but no need to...
One of my 'Motorcycle Mentors' went from a 5Gen VFR to a Blackbird, and was thoroughly please with the decision. That said, the extra size...
No, definitely not. Per the 5th Gen Service Manual, warm engine idle should be 1200rpm ( +/-100). 1300rpm for Cali models. My 2000 VFR has...
Happy to hear that it all worked out! $350 is a pretty tiny bill, all things considered. Now get out there and ride like you mean it! :)
Prices are CDN. We just don't have the volume of bikes up here, which really drives the prices. As for the wait.....the 5th Gen VFR was the...
It's odd......I patiently waited 3 years to find (locally) a 5th Gen worth buying, but in the past year there have been around a dozen more. That...

^^This. At 30 years old, I was ready for a touring bike (love longer trips) but still like to wind it up a bit in the mountains. There can't...
I'm willing to take them (~ half speed) unless they have a really thick (1" or more) layer of gravel. The bikes are just so heavy and it's so...
The BMW F800GS (fully geared) is my dream touring machine, although the R1200GS is probably better suited to the "Year around the globe"...
I think the situation/deal you described is excellent......I wouldn't fret over lingering doubts on the service. The dealer is standing by the...
The Honda Dealer here in Calgary quoted me an even $1000, assuming everything goes "Reasonably Well". For $1000, it's definitely worth the time...
Welcome aboard! That's a pretty big machine for your first bike.......no worries though, respect it and it'll take awesome care of you. I...
LOL - understatement of the year, no doubt! I'm really glad you're enjoying the bike!!
Glad to see this thread brought back from the dead......good discussion and revisiting old concerns is always healthy. I typically go out of my...
