Cool enjoy it they are great 👍 Great find

Good on you David , I hope you enjoy the VFR . Such a great bike .

Yes, great to watch this, it's winter now and my bike is snugly tucked away under a tarp waiting for the spring to come. I love the bike and bought it after having ridden the VFR 750F RC24 for about 20 years.Thanks for your onboard review, love your accent, must be Irish, cheers from the Netherlands

I'm proud owner of a 98 VFR 800, and i can say that it's the opposite. MY '98 got a better punch in the midrange. '00-'01 are slightly tamed but they have an huge improvement in fuel consumption ('98 is VERY thirsty). Still a great tourer bike - i'm still using it even for long range trips. I would say it's like a 10 years old bike, not 20 as in the reality.

@@cuoccimix4433 Excellent way to say it. With the grin it always inspires and with the comfort it provides, really makes it feel less dated. Got a low mileage 00' with a roaring exhaust, revalved CBR front suspension, an aftermarket rear shock and steel brake lines really make this bike competitive with the newer bikes. Not shy in the mountain roads and an all day ride type of tourer. Only love love love for this thing.

Partridge ?

Staintune exhausts have gone bust.

@@alexmorgan3435 no they haven't, the business is up for sale because the present owners want to retire to Queensland, but the stock and the tools and dies, etc, are all still in the factory and if the guys can find a suitable buyer, they will begin trading again..

@@paulhall170 And if they can't the business closes. The owners have been trying to sell it for a few years, but obviously haven't found a buyer. staintune.com.au/blogs/news/staintune-closure-tender-auction-sale

@@alexmorgan3435 At the final hour (literally) Staintune has been able to secure a sale deal. This will assure the name and more importantly the product, quality and customer support lives on! The Australian based company Torqit www.torqit.com.au of Beresfield NSW, saw the opportunity for Staintune to be able to be incorporated into their production and business plan. The deal was done! Torqit specialize in the innovation, development, manufacture and sale of high quality 304 stainless steel performance 4WD exhaust systems. They also develop and sell throttle control systems and plug in ECU programming tools to get the very best out of your 4WD. I have no doubt in my mind that the team at Torqit have the ability, passion and energy to take the Staintune brand far into the future, bringing in a new era of the iconic STAINTUNE ethos and quality of product! More details of time lines and product availability will follow, we will try to minimize the down time during the exchange as a new facility is set up and put into operation, STAINTUNED for more information. Please share the hell out of this post! Kindest of regards Adam & Sandy Staintune Aust Pty Ltd

@@paulhall170 This is great news. Hopefully the name Staintune will continue to be associated with manufacturing high quality motorcycle exhausts.

Glad your enjoying the VFR . It be great if yawl subscribed , I've been thinking of getting the channel up and running again . Have a good one

Its hard to say and will depend on many factors regarding your experience /skillset/training etc. It may be possible for you to get a test ride from your local Honda dealership albeit on a brand new VFR .

@@NomadAdventureBiker First of all thank you for taking you time to responde. I'm trying to buy a vfr 800 from 1998 . It's cheap and seems the type of bike that you can get good value in terms of experience and money. I will try to arrange a test drive and see if the weight is something that I can handle. Once again thank you for you time.

​@@flipinhu999 Its my pleasure.Thanks for watching, more reviews to come soon, Good luck with your search .

I had one of these back in the day as one of my early big bikes. Absolutely fine, user friendly first big bike.

Hi I think you should be fine however leg length arm , torso size vary from person to person so be aswell to try before you buy . You wont be dissatisfied if it fits . My partner has just picked up her first VFR800 an hour ago . Enjoy and have a good one 👍

If u haven't yet tried one for size, I think the only thing that may be a slight issue on longer rides are the relatively high set foot pegs. There are of course peg lowering kits available to solve this if it is uncomfortable for you.

so get one

Got one in September a minter.

Not, maybe mid-term. My everyday-VFR (`01) has still just some 17.0Tkm on the tacho and I haven`t found any other propositons which would came even just as close in terms of value for the money, performance, reliability and craftmanship...My 2nd VFR(`00) is put aside, annually serviced and conserved. It has just some 9.6Tkm, so I keep it for my retirement or for my sons. It is still relatively easy to get good ones, because demand wise most bikers just do not realise what they miss/overlook, so the prices are still reasonable YET...

@@yellowbearworks2535 Thanks, I am looking but can't find a good one.

@@roadwarrior8560 ,because our roads often suck, I just pulled the trigger for a used 2018 Tiger800CXA, as a result, two out of my current three bikes have to go mid-term. I put my well upgraded red BFR800FI `01 with 18kkm to sale, but this is in Hungary...

​@@yellowbearworks2535 Thanks I thought you were in the UK or Ireland. Tiger will be better on crap roads.
