I`ve been wanting one of these for a long time. Its a Honda VFR 800.

Didn`t really need much so I waxed with Megs 16 and topped with OCW.



I hope this comes out OK...after 200 posts I`m finally posting a picture.

Very nice, I ride a CBR600RR. The 05, black and tribal. The VFR`s are smooth bikes :D

Very interesting looking bike, I don`t think I`ve ever seen one; and I`ve been to quite a few motorcycle dealerships for my friend.



Good luck with it and please drive safely :)

Awesome Viffer :2thumbs: You got it in the faster RED color, good choice :D



I am on my 2nd VFR, you will love the bike. I haven`t made it up to the 6th gen (2002-2006) yet. I am still rather partial to the 4th gen VFR (1994-1997) with the gear driven cams and carbs. What can I say, I am an old geezer :D



Have you been over to the VFR discussion forums at http://www.vfrdiscussion.com?



Mine doesn`t look quite as good as yours does right now but, I am working on it.



The rest of her is in boxes :(

The heart and soul of the VFR :bow

I love those bikes! With the right exhaust, they sound just like a mini Pro-Street V8. Wicked.

nice bike, I had the chance to ride a neighbors 2004 VFR last summer and I was impressed with it, nice riding sport-tourer. I personally own and ride an 02 zx-12r, why?, because it looks so much better than the hayabusa, and has the same output(I drag race). Honda in general makes some great performing, reliable machines, my next bike I am planning on either a cbr1000rr or possibly the v-twin Aprilia RSV1000.

Have fun, be safe, dont forget to wear your damn helmet jacket and gloves (with pants of course)!!



Have Fun! :getdown :getdown :getdown

Yes, I`ve been to VFR discussions form and Vfr World. I`m "Gears" on both of those sites also. I wish Honda had kept the gear driven cams, I really loved the whine. It was a 93 VFR 750 that started me wanting one.



I see that your trying to give a little detailing advice on the VFR site, trying to point them in the right direction. These guys know VFRs but the things they say about cleaning and polishing scare me.

The thread about microfiber? Yea, most of them don`t clean their bikes very often. I have tried before and I generally get the "I would rather ride than clean" line. I ride a lot, generally about 20K a year and I still manage to find time to clean my bike. :nixweiss Still, they are a great bunch of people over there :2thumbs:

Very nice bike. I love the single-sided swingarm. Wish my bike had one! I ride a 2006 black ZX-6R 636

That is a seriously bad-a$$ looking bike! Beautiful wet red paint too. :)
