Same as mine and same colour best vfr model to date love mine only one thing wrong with any vfr is getting of it and waiting for next ride ridden every model even early viffers are good.Man in sky made the viffer perfect road bike.
Looking good there! Mine's a 2016 in white with Akrapovic slip on. Just a tip for you for the ram fork stem mount. Remember to pull it out every now and then and spray the inner fork tube with an anti corrosive such as rock oil. They are prone to corrosion from water being trapped around the ram mount insert.
Such a nice bike. I ride a '94 Honda Magna but I am entertaining the idea of a second bike and for that the VFR800 is a top contender. Watching this video makes me want one even more.
Awesome dude. Man you do love your viffer. Mine or more or less still stock with some minor adjustments , i'm waiting for my dream bike which is the yamaha FJR 1300AE. That looks amazing for 24,000km - you have taken damn good care of it - so sorry you cant ride atm. You would love the number plates here they are half the size of your smaller one. Stay safe bro.
Thanks mate! I do take care of my bikes and they never let me down eheh... your plates are like the nz and us, nice and small, in europe all motorcycles plates are huge. Hope to be riding soon, but this virus it´s causing some real damage in western europe and the lockdown will continue at least in April in many countries 😕 Cheers ✌
Liked most of your mods but I think you should put back the Honda reflectors that you removed from the front forks. They are there for safety reasons and removing them does not really improve the look of the bike. So why? A worthwhile safety mod is to add some LED DRLs (daylight running lights). Your bike looks great. Well done.
Well for me it does improve the looks and I don't usually ride at night.. the bike has led lights front and back, I think its enough 😁 Thanks for watching ✌
Out of curiosity, how much did the 24 000 k service cost? I love my ‘09 VFR, flawless performance but . . . had the valves adjusted at 60 000 kilometers and let’s put it this way, I’m glad we’re born with two kidneys!
I didnt do the valves check... the bike it's running strong and without issues or wierd noises. Most VFR owners do that service and the valves are on spec always... maybe when I hit 60k I'll check them ✌ Btw for a normal service I pay around 100€
@@V4Rider In Canada, at least where I live, a full service with valve adjustment plus pads and plugs, will run upwards to $1300 cdn (845 €) about triple the price of my other bikes. In my opinion, worth every penny. There are people who will do it for less, but I do believe they’re presently incarcerated.
@@UncleWally3 A full service like that in a Honda dealer should be around that price... I'm doing the 36k soon... oil, oil filter, air filter and maybe new chain and sprockets.. 350-400€... the things is that VFRs are hard to work on, so I prefer take her to my mechanic 😁✌
@@V4Rider Exactly. My competent and trustworthy mechanic (not working at a dealership) tells me the ‘09 VFR I happen to own is very reliable and to keep it that way simply requires following the maintenance schedule. The bike has performed flawlessly over 60 000 kilometers so . . . time and distance will tell. The cost of ownership of other bikes I’ve owned has been much higher (BMW RT) and much lower (Suzuki V-Strom), the VFR is somewhere in the middle. Where the VFR has arbitrarily cost more is getting the most of the engine (full exhaust system, Power-commander V, dynotuned, etc) - the stuff many owners do. Also, of all the bikes I’ve owned, the VFR demands very careful - IE expensive - tire choice. Still, I do believe the VFR is a “real world” masterpiece and cheap at the price; every biker ought to give one a shot.
Why don’t you swap the rear seat for the seatcover without grab handles? Looks much sleeker. Thanks for your channel, btw.! I received my RC93 two weeks ago and followed your choice and got a Power Bronze screen. Keep up the great videos! I enjoy watching you ride in your beautiful country.
Thanks for the support mate! I know that the tail looks better with the cover and without the hand grab handles... but sometimes I ride with a pillion.. Hope you enjoy your VFR like I enjoy mine... Cheers ✌
Hello, IHave the same bike but in red color , I just purchased a set of baja design sport ( spot-fog) lights. But I have no clue, where can be installed, etc.... Do you know by your self or some one did install those type of lights o similar. Thank you in advance.
Hey V4, love the bike looking at getting the sc project exhaust for my own!!!!! What did you do in regards to changing the mount for your number plate? been scratching my head for months on how to slim it down !!!
@@V4Rider se as coisas melhorarem economicamente e voltarem ao normal, ainda vou tentar comprar uma importada, pode ser que compense a diferença de preços 😉
No Reino Unido talvez seja o melhor sítio, ainda venderam algumas lá do modelo da minha e as motos usadas lá têm preços bem interessantes... ou então esperas que venda a minha 😅
Trato bem as minhas motos e elas tratam bem de mim eheh... A principal diferença no ecrã é mesmo o formato, este oferece mais proteção que o original e é ligeiramente mais escuro.. Abraço ✌
I have the red VFR Beautiful bikes aren’t they. Have you found a cell phone mount suitable for the VFR yet? I can only find ones for tube type handlebars I have a suction mount one at the moment but it’s not solid I wobbles about a bit too much.... the mount that is 😂😂
Hi, Do you really need the centerstand stop on the SC exhaust link pipe? I thought there is a stop already on the cat/collector on the +2017 bikes? Or will the centerstand still hit the sc link pipe? thanks!!
@@V4Rider ok cool, thanks man. I just ordered this exhaust and maybe I’ll try to get it without the center stand stop than if there’s really no need. I’m thinking about putting a little carbon heatshield on the link pipe and it might interfere. Cheers man!
As far as i am concerned, your bike is full stock. Also these are not mods. Mods would be after market wheels, master cylinders, calipers, discs, brake lines, suspension, clip-ons, triple clamps, ecu tunes, air filters, rear sets. Changing to chinese cnc levers, an exhaust and windshields are not mods.
A moto está um brinco👌, muitos parabéns. 👊👍 Como já disse, estou a pensar comprar uma este Verão, acho a moto muito equilibrada. Para mim, a Honda, na VFR, 800, continua a insistir em duas situações que não compreendo, a suspensão dianteira não ser invertida e a potência continuar nos 100cv. Para uma 800 é uma potência escassa, a Honda poderia facilmente pôr esse motor com 140 ou 150cv. Daria ainda muito mais prazer conduzi - la.
Obrigado companheiro! Esta VFR tem 107cv de origem, com escape talvez uns 110cv.. chega bem para o tipo de moto que é! Dá para ter um bom prazer de condução mesmo em andamentos mais rápidos. Muita gente diz o mesmo da suspensão dianteira, mas nada tenho a apontar, dá para regular totalmente e a Showa criou-a de propósito para esta moto. Muitas das motos partilham componentes entre si e a maior parte das vezes nem são ajustadas para tal... Abraço e boa compra ✌

Hi. I have the same bike, 2018 red. Such an old school gem that engine, right? Is the quick shifter worth it? I had it on a bmw but really didn’t use it that much. Found it a bit jerky and I’m just so used to clutching when shifting.. maybe it’s different with these? Thanks for making this content!
