Helmutt Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nice updates on the new gen, seems they focused a bit more on aesthetics this time. Too bad Honda never took the Vboost approach on their V4 like Yammie did with the Vmax, would've given them an edge to join back into the hyper class battle but nothing is touching the new powerhouse 14's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Vtec pretty much felt the same as vboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Undertail exhaust was maybe my biggest complaint of the 800 I had... It got so fucking hot after a day of riding... They will make short aftermarket cans that will still show off the rear wheel For a passenger, I could see this being a viable complaint, but I've never seen a bike where the pipe is routed under the rider's seat. Could you have just been feeling engine heat? I tend to think of "standard" exhaust cans as burning hazards as well... I never once burned my leg (or anything else) on my 600RR's pipe. Did so multiple times on my EX500, and would have on my F2, if I hadn't been wearing full leathers every time I touched it. I also crashed my F2 and bent up the exhaust a bit. Never had that issue low-siding the 600RR with the under-tail. Edited November 5, 2013 by redkow97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Not sure it was, but the seat on my vfr800 was like a skillet on high heat... I hated it after a long day.. Was actually hot enough to be uncomfortable... I was on a ride with a supersport that had Undertail and his was fine and compared with mine which was scorching...I've only owned one bike with Undertail before and that was the vfr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've never thought mine was hotter than any other but like I said every bike I've ridden for a length of time had an under tail exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx3vfr Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm still a fan of the idea of shared manufacturing of engine blocks across the board for the bikes.1000cc i4 750cc i3500cc par twin250cc singleSave money by being able to share pistons, bearings rods, valves, etc. with modern electronics and the simple fact different camshafts would have to be used, it wouldn't be hard to make each bike very rideable to its respective cc.
