excell Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Does anyone have any experience or opinion on this bike? Looking for a fun daily-driver bike that isn't a slouch. I just can't help myself. With winter coming up, bikes are going to get cheap. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I like them. A lot. Came very close to owning one until a good friend put his 919 up for sale. Came very close again, until I found a rediculous deal on my Mean Streak. They handle great, look good in my opinion, and if needed, you can slap a set of hard luggage on and take a long trip.

thorne Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've ridden the VFR800, the powerband was ok. Vtec does not even feel like a big deal, My bike revs hard past 6000. It does handle nice. The stance is not to bad, I don;t care to lay down but it felt pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excell Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Well it's either the VFR, or a Busa. I need a Busa like I need another hole in my knee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get in touch - I appreciate the offer! I imagine it's similar to how my ZX11 was. Without the exploding engine and the low-side on 670, of course.

Got-Boost? Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 It's the best ALL AROUND touring, sport, etc...etc... bike you can buy if you don't want a BUSA. Good power, comfy for 2-up, reliable, etc.....etc.....on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Lots of good input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I think they are the perfect commuter bike (comfy, luggage, etc). V-Twin is not really for racing or hauling ass, but still fun to ride. Anti-lock linked brakes are trick too, again, for the hard-core commuter in the rain.

Bahnstoermer1647545488 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Nice ride, the VFR... I'd choose it over a busa anyday, but I just don't really care for Busas/Suzukis... get the Honda! And the VFR DOES sound nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
