Laters ones do too, certainly until 2013.

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.

Thanks man! I remember watching your VFR vids a while back. Still want to own one, one day.

Hero RR... I just love your content mate... Bought a 2005 VFR800 (in my financial crisis situation) inspired by you and @Richyvida... I just can't get over the excitement of riding that beast and listening to the v4 everyday.... it's crazyyyy...

Gen 5 no cam chain or HISS system to go wrong and a better sound.

That ST1100 won't have any similarities with a VFR V4

@@zacht9447 I know. It's just another great Honda V4 engine.

Ya, caught me by surprise!

the 06 models supposedly had revised vtec that wasn't as abrupt, the 06 on models have a white ring around the outer rev counter, this is probably an 05 reg in 06.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, will definitely keep it in mind if I look at a vfr in the future. I do wear gauntlets but my style of jacket doesn't let them go over, so I wear them under the sleeve.

Ya, both manufacturers make great bikes and I know the Aprilia v4 is renowned, especially in the Tuono. In the uncut video I did actually speak about the Aprilia range but it got a bit rambly so I cut it.

Ya, they definitely have a dated look to them, but I still kinda like the look. The current vfr800 is better looking and a bit lighter, so perhaps I'll grab one for touring at some point.

It's dated compared to sport bikes now a days, but I have the 25th Anniversary Edition and the plastics look a lot nicer than the plain colors now a days. The new vfr is so plain in my opinion

TreeCityRider I agree, I like the new vfr looks but they need some nice graphics to liven it up.

Side profile kinda has a s1000rr look to them. Honestly 90% of the population wouldn't know how old this bike is. Want to see dated? A Zx7r.

I saw these exhaust pipes for sale on alibaba

Laser deeptones maybe

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.

@@AiroRider tnk. Tell me plz, what your opinion, what more fast, i mean acceleration, very big difference or not?

@@thefunny5706 cbr600rr is much faster. the vfr has good torque, but very low power for its size and weight. CBR will take it any day.

@@AiroRider tnx a lot. Hello from Russia. Take care man)

No clue, sorry.

He wasn't sure, if it is vtec, it is

I think it's adequate for what it's designed for.

Road Warrior I suppose it can be a nuisance in those instances, but you won't often be throwing a VFR800 hard into a corner, it's a tourer after all.

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.

If you knew your bike that well, you wouldn't rev it like that on a wet curve. That would be clear rider error.

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.

It is quite powerful and heavy so I wouldn't recommend it as a first bike. In general I recommend beginners to start on 300-400cc bikes but at the end of the day you need to be comfortable with what you ride.

@@AiroRider its not first , i have 110 cc now, but i considerate like a first)

@@virgiliuoprea3287 I see. So your first "big" bike. Well if you understand the basics of riding, it shouldn't be too much too handle. At least I didn't think so.

@@AiroRider what about cb600f, fz6 or 650 bandit?

@@virgiliuoprea3287 well the cb600f is the naked version of my bike but identical otherwise. I got my bike after not riding for close to 3 years. Before that I owned a cbr125r for 2 years. 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. But see if you can get a test ride on each to decide for yourself.

It is.

Where exactly?😀

South Africa?
