Man once I get my A license in a few months, I will finally be able to get a VFR750, been dreaming about getting one of these bikes since I first found out they existed, the only other bike I can see myself on is maybe a CB400SF Hyper Vtec. Planning on touring around the UK and Europe, maybe throw a bit of camping in, gonna be my forever bike. Just love em, insanely reliable, enough handling to have fun on, enough power to stay safe and eat up the miles, enough space on the back for your bags. plus the clock will be useful for keeping track of when I gotta catch my ferry to the isle of wight.
I own a 91 in the red with white wheels combo. Done 15 k miles on the clock, is in mint condition !, just recently had the carbs cleaned out, a pilot jet on no.1 carb cleared then all synchronised & fuel mixture screws dialled in for the optimum running efficiency !, LOVE IT to bits !, a extremely well put together machine, very comfortable & still shifts without any signs of hesitancy whatsoever ! She’s definitely a keeper 😎👍🏻
I owned one of those new way back in 91. Coming from 80s tech, this thing was awesome to ride. Shows how good they are when 30 years on they're still being ridden. I drive an 07 fit, and it's they only one I see out there.
Bought a brand new RC36 gen 4 back in 97. Sold it to buy the then new fuel injected model Blackbird. Regretted it almost instantly. Blackbird was a fine bike on the open road but a bit of a bus in town, far to much of a stretch over the tank for me. Last bike I had was the injected CB1300 which was sold in 2007.......Never let your hobby become your profession.. The hobby dies. Until now... September brought a new addition to the shed. Yup, a 1997, 30,000 mile VFR750fv. It stayed intact for around 30mins and is currently going through a full restoration of the chassis, brakes and suspension. Of course the engine will need no work other than basic servicing, top end set and carb balance, which being an ex motorcycle techie is not a problem. I still have the gear to do it. New Hagon shock just arrived and all that is left other than cosmetics is a fork tube rechrome and new bushes/seals; really hate pitted tubes, even if it is up by the yokes and nowhere near the seals. The VFR is one of only two bikes I regretted selling, the other being the Yamaha DT175mx. Really looking forward to riding this one again. Marvellous bike.
Jedno z lepszych spostrzeżeń jakie znalazłem. miałem podobnie zacząłem pracować jako mechanik motocyklowy i praktycznie przestałem jeździć czasem tylko track Day. Przed tym byłem lorry driver i moja vfr rc36 3rd gen jeździłem gdzie się dało. Teraz moje hobby po tylu straconych latach znowu jest hobby.oczywiście kupiłem vfr 750 95. I znowu zacząłem przygodę z v4.pozdro z Polski
Finally picked up a 4th gen VFR last month after very regrettably selling my first vfr in 2018, just can't stay away from the things. Still miss the left hand exhaust from my old one though, and the new one needs fairing repairs and a respray. Wish people sold fairings for them.
One Boy's Dream I’ve subbed to you so I don’t miss this! Mine has been sadly unused for 7 years due to various reasons but I’m now ready to recommission it, been gradually buying new brake pistons and seals etc and know I’ll need to take the carbs apart to clean all the old dried/gummed fuel out of the jets so hope that’s one thing you’ll be covering. Looking forward to it.
Hey Jim.. Just came across your video while browsing for Gen 3 VFRs.. Just bought one for 350 quid but its got 94k on the clock.. I know mate but im a vlogger like you and i think it would be good to do something on it.. Nice walk round and a bargain at that price.. 👍
I had one with 89K on the clock and the valves did not even need adjusting so don't let some shark back street twatt tell you otherwise Try and get a trusted friend or some one to have a look I would be gob smacked if they needed doing !!!!
Excellent walkaround/review. Good job!

I own VFR 1996. Marvelous motorcycle!. Really nice and detailed review. Stay safe! :)

800£ that's a steal. Ive got the exact same bike and i paid 2600 back in 2004. I think it
would fetch over 2200 now.
Heyyy man. That's great motocycle. You have a legend motocycle. And great job.

I’ve just bought one for when I’ve passed my test
Shoulda put a sticky note on the helmet. Whats up with the spikes ? is that punk rock thing, or Mad Max ?
Do it with Dan.
If you change your exhaust then get it Dyno tuned I had to up jet my carbs and got extra bhp from mine

I think my favourite thing about them is the single sided swing arm and the fact they can do anything commute, your etc.
@@JimDiesel71 absolutely, the sound and swingarm are the top features for me. also, they look like discount ducatis which i love 😆
I have got 200 miles plus out of my 97 vfr. Brilliant bike.
That's good going. miss the vfr great bikes.
@@JimDiesel71 didn't go above 70 lol
Upset a lot of people with that one 😂.
800 quid, that's a bargain. i have a 92, put a delkevic on it, sounds incredible pulling away from the lights.
Popped up on my feed, had to have a look
Great bike still prefer your ape
Whats the helicopter up for looking for you to get a sub ?
Very nice look at a very nice bike, working on one atm, mines been off the road for 6 years so needs some work
Hope you get it going again. Great bikes.
Jim Diesel thanks Jim hopefully going to video the lot, some people might find it interesting (fingers crossed) 🤣
@@OneBoysDreamFilm I was going to suggest do a video, I would watch it.
Jim Diesel I’ll push on with the idea then 🤟 I’ll drop you a comment when the first video is done

Been looking at cam drive VFRs.. but with a Fireblade, Aprilia RSV Factory and a ZX12R I don’t think I can fit (or wife approve) another bike! Lol
Yeah you don't want to upset the long haired general. Always wanted a ZX12R.
How do I have the same bike on a 1992. My wheel are grey. It contrasts with the fairing
The wheels on my one where resprayed by a previous owner.
Would have been nice to hear it the sound is one of the other beautiful features of this bike
Funny you should say that I did do a video on the Exhaust sound and engine, those V4 do sound good.
need a postit with the text: Kill those crowes!!!!

Hi, Nice one you should do a video on it VFR's have a huge following. I'm thinking of getting another one for touring/commuting.
@@JimDiesel71 yeh 100,000 mile vid would be good..thanks for the sub btw take care bud. 👍
Better rhan jater 800. Had both.
Nice bike.
O no the bike has more than 20 miles on the clock it's going to blow up 😁
She a nice bike cherish her 😎
Thanks, will try my best with the old girl 😁
My ZX-6R is 20 years old now and can still mess with modern bikes
@@vonsauerkraut missed out on a black and red ZX6, they always were one of the more powerful 600s.
Great video mate
Cheers, only took me three attempts with all the interuptions and memory card fails 😅.
Great video 👍🏻
Cheers.
