What does VFR stand for?

VFR? ok, there`s GSR, GSX, CBR .
But they have names,bandits,fireblades,blackbirds
Is VFR short for something?
For-- Very Fat Riders?-------?
Or does a certain collection of letters sound better than others? -
I ride a HLB 800 , or a SWE 800, a QPJ 800 ??
Any ideas?

 

V Four Race...I'm guessing here.

 

I believe it stands for V - cylinder configuration, F - four, R - race. This is completly an assumption but makes sense when one thinks about the VTR (RC 51).

 

Got undercut by two minutes! Great minds think alike.

 

Visual Flight Rules, unless you have that baby certified for instrument flight.

 

Very Fast Range (back in 1983)

Just kidding - I think even in 1983 we had Top Gun's GPz900 to set the standard on that. V4 Racing is it.

 

Mine is guessing as well.... But the VFR is also called an Interceptor.... I was in the service, and my Squadron was VF-84 (Interceptor Fighter squadron-84)... It's likely that it could have been taken from that concept....

 

VF meaning Vee-Four, and VFR meaning Vee-Four Racing :biggrin:

Hey I resent the comment about very fat riders. I'm not fat, I'm "husky" :biggrin:

Rollin

 

RSE800 ? :biggrin:

 

V-Four Revised or Very Fine Ride

 

Yeah, I hear you. My one son, when he was younger, used to say to me, "Dad, you're not fat, you're just a good size man!" Somehow that sounded so much better.

 

I was told the following by different people:

• VFR = Very F*ckin' Rad
• VFR = Very Fine Ride

I'm not buying either.

 

My educated guess is with the v four race crowd.

 

Yep, Very Fat Rider here.

 

Maybe if i were a chunky female rider--
Voulptuous Flirty Ride ??

or--

 

I have a zumo mounted on mine which lights up at night,so-
Mines a IVR--- Instument Flight Rules?
All i need is a altimeter,artifical horizon,asi,compass,vhf,squawk,,--- better get a bigger dash!!! oh - and some wings!

 

You already got the wings. They are on the side of the tank.

 

Very Fast Riders ???:tongue:

 

I always thought it stood for Very F*$%*ing Roadworthy. But that's just me.
