i was wanting some info on this bike. i have seen and read about everything on the more common bikes. i am more interested in gettingt one of these but was wondering on some of your feedback.

just anything about the bikes besides how in looks. handling,performance,and machanics of the bike are good for starters.

 

what gerneration and model?

the F model V Engines are STILL being used today in the VFR...

there were 2 years in which honda released an R model engine.

the early versions were considered focused sportbikes, the later years it has grown into a sport touring bike

 

i am looking at early 2000 models

like this

 

THEY HAVE A CENTER STAND?!

:jealous:

Edit: damn those bikes are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot

 

I know very little about that generation other than the fact that they are well loved by the owners...

 

The white ones make me squeel like a pig.

Quick enough, but a touch slower than a 600 supersport. Nice thing is they have steady power throughout the rev range so you're not forced to shift all over the place to get going. They also have a much more relaxed seating position, a really nice sound with a pipe, and have better range than your typical sport bike.

How much do they weigh? My old GSF600 weighed a porky 460 dry, but I could still get it on its stand.

460 dry... maybe my stand is broken?

 

you need to learn the center stand boogie, they are very easy to use

 

Mike, you guys suck.
I put my bike on the center stand every night when I park it.

1- Put right foot on center stand tab.
2- Grab the convenient handle close to the passenger peg with right hand, left hand can hold the handlebar
3- shift weight onto right foot foot and press down while pulling up with Right hand
4- done.

I am NOT a big guy. My wife could do it. She is not a muscular woman.

Something about leverage, or so I heard.

 

thats the boogie

note that Mike is talking about a previous generation VFR. The 2000s are 800 instead of 750. They are heavier though. I think the newer viffers are a smidge faster in a straight line, but the added pork makes them a bit slower in the twisties.
Great all around bike. It excels at nothing, but does everything pretty well.

Hahaha!


Oh, I didn't know that I already knew how to do the boogie. lol. You can also just rock the girl onto the stand as well. Takes a couple of rocks.

 

so is not a bad choice for a begginer bike?

Hahahah

 

Its not a beginner bike, but it's not an advance riders bike... GREAT all around choice, and you can make fun of your friends that are twisted into pretzels on there sportbikes

 

well i am not 100% begginner but i haven't been riding for a year yet. i am tired of riding my friends bike and wanting to buy my own.

 

you could ride this bike for the rest of your life, and unless your into racing you won't need more

 

its a great bike, my uncle had an 02', only bad thing people are complaing about it is the vtec. 01 is the last year i believe with no vtec.
