Just came across your vid! I bought my 2nd VFR after a 20 year gap. I found a 2014 with only 4K miles on it. Love it. See you ride like this on a VFR makes me wonder why you'll see so many people on RUclips slam it for it's weight, it's lack of horsepower, etc. I could NEVER ride like you but admire how well you do so. Sure wish Honda still made it. Thanks again for a really great video - Rick
Thank you Rick very comment, yes the VFR is one of the greatest motorcycles of all time in my opinion and the handling is absolutely perfect, I did remove the centre stand and rear pillion pegs which saved a little weight but in all honesty the VFR is no heavier than any other Bike. Also in think around 110 to 130 bhp is the sweet spot of power, all these 200 bhp bike's you cannot ride to 100%
Good lap! Nice line! Seeing such a fast lap with a bike i always wonder where you get this confidence to go full throttle even in the corners! I´m so excited to visit the ring next wednesday and thursday for the Motorrad Action Team Motorradtraining!
Thank You! The confidence through the corners only comes from experience to be honest, I hope you have a great time, which I'm sure you'll have, and May be I'll bump into you...😊👍
Thank you Diego, so it was a 2006 model VFR 800 with ABS which I didn't alter, I removed the Centre stand, rear foot rests, it had a titanium exhaust from the bottom up to the cans, it also had the common "Snorkel, pair and Flapper mod"....
That was fun to watch. I just passed my test a few months ago and have been offered a VFR from a lad from work at a really good price, would this be ideal or a bit too much to handle? I obviously wouldn't be attempting to ride like you are but anything I should be aware of? I've been told they are a heavy bike. Thanks and a great watch!
Wow thank you! No I think the VFR is a great Bike to learn and progress with, because when you are getting more and more experienced on the Bike, quickly small capacity bikes feel slow.
Thank you, I took the Centre stand and rear foot pegs off to save weight, it had after market exhausts, plus the common Snorkel, Pair and Flapper mod to the induction. Suspension was standard and just had EBC brake pads, The VFR is still one of the best all-round Bike's ever made!!...
Hey damanisin377 and Nurburgring Biker Blog, I'm looking into buying an 03 or an 04 VFR800 for the ABS, one-sided swingarm, and vtec. I'd like to hear your opinions as owners of the engine itself. Most VFRs I'm finding have at least 65 thousand kms on the odometer, would you think that should be considered a red flag on that bike?
No real main faults to be honest, the fuel consumption is pretty good and won't differ too much from a Bandit 650, but the VFR will be quicker and much more fun!...
I'm not sure now but the Bike is good for 25+ miles with it on and the Nurburgring is only 12 miles so it's never a problem, just roll off the throttle a little bit earlier and carry the corner speed...
@@bearbreakb3468 So to be honest I never touched the suspension in any way, I may have softened the rear a touch because I don't like to firm suspension either on the front or rear, I like a bit of dive when braking. I am around 90kg it my weight goes up down like a jojo! So in a year I can be anywhere from 85kg to 100kg but average around 90kg.
@@bearbreakb3468 The only real modifications that Bike had was the rear footrest holders and centre stand were removed for weight, it had a lighter better exhaust system and I did the common snorkel, pair and flaper mod to allow it to breathe and rev better...
@@P4WELpl I don't think it's nearly as harmful for that particular engine as you think. the RC45 streetbike freely revved to 12.5 and red @ 13 and for good reason. it made power there. I get the feeling the VFR800 (of which the engine is derived directly) can spin to 13 w/o much harm, it will just never make power there due to the intake/cam/exhaust combo.
I have a vtec, it will run all day long without a hick up at 130+, I just never seen anyone capable of making a vtec look like a big super sport...............
@@BrunoSantos-jw3er to be honest, I've never ridden the Ducati ST4, but for me the VFR fits me like a glove! The handling is excellent, and in my opinion better than the 2014 R1 I ride...
@@NurburgringBikerBlog Thank you, what tires are on the bike? Also are there any frame or engine modifications? Lastly, how often do you ride this track? Tony
@@tonyaherne6491 sorry just seen this! The tyres were Michelin Pilot Power 3's, I ride around 300 Laps per year on a Bike and a few more in a Car. The modifications were, rear footrests and center stand removed, the air box Snorkel and flapper mod to enable cleaner revving, aftermarket lighter exhausts and that was about it...👍

Selten habe ich ein Video so genossen.
Super Moped.
Preziosen auf höchstem Niveau.
Es war mir eine Freude!
I remember when my MSF riding instructor taught us about downshifting to 13,500 rpms in corners. Most important life lesson a new rider can learn.
Can you plz explain it alittle more? 😁
@@feodiente9460 lesson is don't do it. Fastest way to put new rider in a coffin
That sound when V-tec kicks in is just amazing!
I agree...👍

When VTEC kicks in? Dude just spent 9 minutes above 9,000 rpm.
Excellent run. Empty tank mod!
Good effort buddy, love the sound of the v tec coming on ✌️
Just come across your video. Total respect, so smooth and fluid. And what a sound!
Thank you, very kind...👍
Awesome lap, great video 👍👌
Great bike and rider, reminds me of Helmut Dähne on the RC30, thanks for taking us along Billy.

Thank You VFR rider! Yes It was a close call but i know my Bike, so knew I would get away with it! Lol...😊👍
The sound is addictive for sure

Impressive driving with low gas nice 😅😅😅
Awesome great!!!
Thank You Jose.
Nice 👍
Thank You...😊👍
Good pace

Ein geiler Sound!
Danke...😎👍
Wenn ich wollte, wie ich könnte, wäre die mein Drittmotorrad. Aber dann droht gleichzeitig die Scheidung... :-/
@@mrffromzh8636 Ha ha, ich weiss was du meinst! Ja genau frauen!!!...😁
why dont you rev match while downshifting? for braking purposes?
Doing this with the fuel gauge flashing is brave! haha
Onda!
Sehr sportiv mit blinkender Tankanzeige , 😬 aber geil.
congratulations great ride! did you run with the dual cbs system? the central stand have you removed? what changes have you made to the vfr? thank you
Thank you Diego, so it was a 2006 model VFR 800 with ABS which I didn't alter, I removed the Centre stand, rear foot rests, it had a titanium exhaust from the bottom up to the cans, it also had the common "Snorkel, pair and Flapper mod"....

Nothing else quite like it!!....😎👍
110°C Wasser, da läuft die vfr aber ganz schön thermisch am anschlag :-D
Man thats some awesome riding! Cant wait to take my vfr to the track this summer🤙! How many miles on your vfr? Any mods to the suspension? Brakes?
Thank you, I took the Centre stand and rear foot pegs off to save weight, it had after market exhausts, plus the common Snorkel, Pair and Flapper mod to the induction. Suspension was standard and just had EBC brake pads, The VFR is still one of the best all-round Bike's ever made!!...
@@NurburgringBikerBlog yes it is i agree thats only bike i will ride so well balanced dang near perfect bike in my opinion
Stark mit dem Stuhl...hast es drauf 👍...Fahrwerk Serie ?
What a great vid, I own an 04 VFR, love it! Great riding skills, are you running factory height foot pegs, damn impressive lean angles
Hi, thank you so much, very kind! Yes was standard foot pegs and height... 👍
Took the feelers off my 8 gen, scrape too much and hooked into my boot tops

No real main faults to be honest, the fuel consumption is pretty good and won't differ too much from a Bandit 650, but the VFR will be quicker and much more fun!...
running out of fuel!! hahahaha
Fireblade basically pissed all over the VFR 800. Am I wrong 😅?
Nice and controlled ride! Wich brand and type of tyres?
Michelin Pilot Power 3
I was worried you were gonna run out of petrol.
When the fuel light starts flash there about 5 litres left in the tank . I've got 02 vfr loving it
hey man how come you dont rev match when shifting down?
Rev matching is for amateurs.
What tires are you running?
Michelin Pilot Power 3.
Congrats on your skills, awesome riding. Which tires do you ride on your VFR?
Hi Thank You, they are just Michelin Road Pilot 3's...😊👍
