It would be nice if they ever migrated to inverted forks to decrease the weight at the wheel.
I'm glad you're trying it out. The CBR has a dedicated sport riding position that puts you more on the tank so you can feel the front end better...
I went 6.5k miles on the OEM tires and finally got tired of them feeling somewhat unstable at higher lean angles. A common complaint I hear about...
I did. I put my Bridgestone BattleAxes from my S1000RR on them. I don't recall the exact model of Battleaxe but size wise they are 190/55-17s....
Thanks! And thanks to Jeff Barrett also! Yes, Mike, I was the Autobahn. I was a bit timid at first with the VFR due to a cold track and an...
Hi Mike! I think we did meet at the Willy World Cycles! What a SMALL world this is! I actually have been on this forum since I was searching...
Well...Here are some of the track day pictures. As you might be able to see, my left peg feeler is gone (popped off on a rumble strip) but the...
I finally dumped my Dunlop 222's. Yuk they were terrible and put on the 190/55-17 Battleaxe's I took of my S1000RR. I also had the suspension...
No vid yet but pics to follow...when they are posted and I can download them. I'm sure that Smokeandmirrors did better than I did as far as lean...
My thoughts exactly on the OEM tires and chicken strips, especially in the cooler less predictable weather of the center of this continent. No...
On Revzilla there are lots of reviews of all of them. I'm personally partial to the Metzler Roadtech 8 which is what I had on the F800GT. There's...
Like I said elsewhere I do not trust our local roads and ride maybe 60-70% ability here. Out there your roads are nicer and the pavement is...
I'm not riding today but when I get a chance I will. It's a tight fit and I'll let you know more after this weekend at the track. The real trick...
Actually it's funny because you'll get that in nearly every forum except the die hard sport bike forums where the discussion veers more towards...
I agree. The VFR is hardly head and shoulders above the other bikes anymore as other manufacturers have gone in different directions and have...
thanks! Ya I'll keep her on the track. That's why I need something exciting for the street anyway. I do love my VFR but like all jack of all...
You're right on the stock wet weight. Side by side the track fairings weigh less and the lights, plate holder, and other road specific gear are...
Actually all I did was have the suspension set up for my height/weight (had to dial everything out and soften everything to compress the springs...
So THIS is why I keep my S1000RR as a track only bike. I don't trust the open road to allow me to do this without hitting something slippery or...
I had moved from the BMW F800GT to the VFR because of the handling, the smoothness and liveliness of the engine, as well as the seating position...
