VFR800 is great bike...quick when it needs to be ...stable on the HWY because of the weight..linked brakes wrk very well... Headlights are better than any car I've owned...only thing I added was a small volt meter to keep an eye on charging system (would recommend on any bike) early VFR's had stator /rectifier issues.

Just have always good battery.. worn out battery will cause further issue.. If is not starting right on first try, change it. It will save you from further costs.

7,000 rpm. VTEC kicked in yo.

The vfr800 is just in a different league...it grows on its owners and are not eadily sold...i love them, but wish Honda had remained with cam gear drive.

Your review of the VFR was "FANTASTIC"

I've got an old ST1100 with the V4 - great engine! The VFR is a goal for my 2nd bike, probably a pre vtec model.

2 valves per cylinder under 6800 rpm then 4 after. Mine is a 07 RWB. Love mine!

Totally under estimated bike.

Dude a set of gauntlet style gloves will suit you much better by going over your cuffs keeping bees no lie and wind on colder days out of your arms and ultimately your chest area. Trust me a HUGE difference. Oh yeah and buy the vfr preferably a 1998 or earlier with gear drive camshafts there is soooooo much more character charisma and presence And you will never be disappointed in your purchase because 1st it's a Honda the best built on the earth and it's a VFR the best light tourer available to mankind.

Du musst mal eine aus dem Jahr 2002 - 2004 fahren. Da ist die Ventilsteuerung noch grober eingestellt. Nicht so sanft wie ab den 2005er Modellen. Sprich ab 6500 rpm schaltet das VTEC und geht es schlagartig ab! Das ist wie ein Tritt in den arsch! Ich liebe meine 2002er VFR800 vtec.

Really depends on the type of riding you plan to do. Generally I don't enjoy supersports, but if you enjoy that style of bike, the cbr600rr is a much lighter, nimbler bike. For touring, I'd much rather have the VFR.

That's just normal riding, you spend more time worrying about the rev counter in the corner than concentrating on your line, and it's a sports-tourer, not a Goldwing!! Vfr's are meant to be ridden, the 5th gen Vfr 98-01 gear driven cam is a far better bike if you can find one.

Personally I never noticed any v-tec issues, though I didn't corner very hard. I think if you just keep a steady throttle in the corner, you'll be fine. It's something you get used to, knowing when the power hits. Though I understand your point, an inexperienced vfr rider could end up having a bad day.

The problem is vtec is not needed, they had the perfect vfr engine in the 5th gen vfr, vtec is rubbish, ruined a great bike and they still persist with it in the 8th gen vfr's and crossrunners.

Another ultra boring 40kmph speed limit suburb review. So lame. I don't think you ever used more than 50% throttle. Do the VFR some justice and ride it like a hooligan not your grandmother

I own a vfr vtec 800 on a ten plate. The one you are trying out looks shit. Changing the beautiful pipes for those crappy looking ones ruins the bikes beauty. Terrible mistake in my book none saleable

It was a big step up for me but because I had learnt how to ride and was disciplined, I managed fine with it. All 3 bikes you listed are similar in power and weight and if you take your time to learn the bike, you should be fine with any. Personally the cb600f is the most modern in terms of design and materials, I've found. And the most powerful of the 3, so that's the one I'd choose.
