    So the day finally came where I got to take the VFR800 out for a spin, not the ideal road conditions or weather but the bike performed amazingly and lived up to all my expectations.

    I went from an R1 2010 to a 1999 vfr800 and I couldn't believe the difference in comfort. Also, of course you some lose top end power but the vfr is more grunty between 3-5k; much more useable on the road. Glad you like your vtech model. Imo, for 80% of the time, these bikes are far better to ride than full on sports bikes.

    Just picked up a 2007 vfr800. 58K miles, a few scratches on it and a real crappy exhaust. Looking forward to bringing it it back to its former glory. Putting on a new set of Delkevic cans, Heli bars, and a new paint job (for now). Still undecided as to what colour. First time I rode it, I fell for it! Will definitely be a keeper for me. Nice bike mate, enjoy your riding as its the best therapy for your health (mental and soul) out there.

    @steveo4141 4 года назад +1

    Only mod that's necessary on that bike is a "Soundbomb Horn" ridiculously loud...gets attention when you need it....tucks in nicely right behind the left Fairing (clutch handle side) in the upper corner so it's hidden away...easy to install yourself.
    Best thing I ever put on any bike ...currently owner of a 2005 VFR800...love it.
