Lovely bikes ! We were in Golden Gate and met some Harley riders from Gauteng. We got to swopping bikes. The guy took of on my VFR and was back 5 minutes later, head hanging, saying, "I think I broke your bike !" I laughed because I knew as the Vtec kicked in it make "THAT" sound ! Told him to carry on and push the revs. He eventually came back smiling, so impressed. Two bikes in one, gentle cruising, then steek it and the Vtec took it to another level.
Glad you mentioned weight - love mine, but it's an absolute monster manouvering it around my garage and I was starting to think it was me! Agree though that it's fairly nimble once it gets going, and the VTEC never fails to make my heart skip a beat. Thought I knew how VTEC worked (as in the high lift cam), but I wasn't aware of the valve thing
I have an 03 vfr 800 and youykdhr have put it better when you said “this bike will make you want to take the long way hike every time” I take back roads for work since I got mine

Awesome review Brendan and great job getting into the technicalities of the good ol' Vtec ! Keep it up bro!
Good video, I have the 07 model here in Canada and yes all you have said about this bike is so true.

What are the handle bar risers do you have on your VFR
To the best of my knowledge it was stock, but i may be wrong
Hi have the same year 2006 model Red in colour good bike as far as i can tell, I like the Vtec too :)
How is the ride for a pillion?
Only did one trip with a pillion. But no issues. You do alot of sitting up straight on this bike

Just bought a 6 gen 2009 VFR interceptor. It's got all the bells and whistles other than gear indicator. Go figure......
A topbox is the most disgusting addition to any bike. I gutted the standard pipes, lovely ! Magic bike and the V4 engine ....!!!!
