That is how you know it is a pretty slow bike, when you say it is fast enough to not get embarrassed by most cars instead of most bikes.

@@mathias6423 It is pretty quick from a standstill to around 150 kph, mostly due to its linear torque, long wheelbase and heavyish weight. After that it will get embarrassed by every modern 600cc sport bike. But in todays standard is isn’t exactly fast. It sounds amazing though!

@@AndreasBrOlesen Yeah we are 100% on the same page, yeah It sounds awesome, too bad the VFR 1200 sounded like shit for a V4. That bike has the power I would like the VFR800 to have :)

@@AndreasBrOlesen I really hope Honda is making a new generation V4 SPORTtourer. There is rumors of it happening on sites such as Visordown and others. These "adventure" kind of sporttourers does not speak to me at all. I always thought it looked weird sitting that upright on a sporttourer bike. It should be semisporty, in between of a naked bike and a full on supersport bike. I had a Ninja 1000 SX 2018 for one year and I always felt weird riding that bike im 2 meters tall (6'7) and sitting that upright on a bike that looks like a sportbike just felt and looked weird. And I was getting so much wind like a sail on a boat with those upright bars not leaning into the wind :(

The only reason I sold my VFR800Vtec is because it ran out of steam at 240kph. I needed that extra ...maybe 20kph..but it was a stupendous bike !!

Danke dir auch viel Spaß mit deiner schönen Maschine 😊

Lol did you watch the same video? Plenty of times vtec kicked in.

Could be, there are a lot of factors. Rider size, weather, tire condition etc. On my 2002 vfr the indicated top speed was higher on old tires, because they are smaller in diameter when they are spent. In reality the top speed is the sme, it's just that the engine needs to spin faster for the same speed and the indicated speed is calculated from gearbox rpm.

Yes, the road was a little bit down 😬 My Topspeed on the speedometer was 262km/h, but the road was also little downhill. On a flat raod my Topspeed is 250-255km/h 😬 The windscreen is from Ermax.

Ja Umgebung kann man sagen. 🤔

Sorry, alle 12tsd bzw . einmal jährlich 😊

@@ETAPBVS7 Okay, dann hat ne Test Zeitung das falsch geschrieben.... habe selber gegooglet.... 12.000 stimmt... Ist gut... Jetzt brauch die VFR nur noch für mich einen Superbikelenker und dann könnte ich die fahren....

@@ETAPBVS7 Kannst du mir noch bitte sagen, ab welchem jahrgang dieses Intervall 12.000 gilt??? Danke..

The most recent VFR looks great in my opinion. If they made a 1000 cc V4 with 150 hp, modern suspension and all the modern electronic gadgets, then I would be happy to buy a new one. The old bikes are still great bikes, they just failed to follow the time.

@@AndreasBrOlesen Yeah, I also think the 2014 and onwards VFR looks good, it has a little more Italian flavour for being a Japanese bike, the older 2008 and such models looked pretty decent for its time aswell. It also does not sound like most Japanese bikes :) Yeah I would love a 1000cc V4 and 150HP would be more than enough If they could lower the weight a bit. I think they would sell pretty good don't you ? I heard the Ducati Supersport 950 is selling pretty good. Imagine that kind of weight with a 1000cc V4 with 130-160 hp. Would be awesome, most similar bikes today like the GSX-S1000GT and Ninja 1000 SX have too upright handlebars for my taste. I much prefer the more sporty riding triangle like the VFR has, not to extreme like 600 supersport but not dead right up like a naked bike.

@@mathias6423 I agree. I also think a modern bike like that would be pretty popular. The Ninja 1000 SX and the Suzuki GSX-S GT do sell well, and the VFR really is a bit more special, with the V4 sound, and the other VFR specialities. I also agree on the riding position. The VFR hits a sweet spot for me. It is upright enough to be comfortable at low speeds, and still leaned forward enough to feel sporty, and for me it is also more comfortable for my back. Really few bikes today offer that riding position.

​@@AndreasBrOlesen Yeah it is a damn shame about the riding position on modern sporttourers. DId you ever try the Kawasaki H2 SX ? I test rode it 2018 when it was a brand new model, damn man. It also had a more sporty riding position like the VFR and while it was heavier (like 260 kg fully fueled) it hid its weight very good. Ever since I test rode that H2 SX with that compressor "whistle" (and 200HP) sound that sounds like a turbo, that bike made me feel so special that day, It has been my dreambike ever since. I would love to have that bike when traveling across my europe trips. It had compressor, semiactive suspension, cruise control, quickshift up and down, color display with bluetooth and navigation, heated grips, heated seat, cornering lights, great panniers and it handled awesome for its size. There is a model without most of the electronics in black color that only was made between 2018-2019 which still has cruise control and all the safety electronics. That version is much cheaper and if you just add the panniers for it, it would be a lot of bike for not much money. For instance, they sell now in Sweden brand new 2019 modell with 0 miles for about 13 000 - 15 000€ with panniers included. Did you ever try the H2 SX ?

​@AndreasBrOlesen Yeah? OK, go get a late (2016) VFR1200F.... 173 bhp, huge torque, it'll do the 250kph shown here in 5th gear, engage 6th and it'll shoot to its 275kph (limited) in the blink of an eye. Built by Honda to replace the CBR1100 Blackbird, and see off the Hayabusa/ZXR1400.

Why?

Id say no. The amount of power it has and the power delivery is amazing and very usable at all times. If this power is not enough look for another bike. My vfr goes head to head with a 1000cc hypermotard from 60mph no issues

Dafür hat die VFR 800 F aber 30 PS weniger Leistung bei fast identischem Gewicht.

@@-Mephisto- Ich habe die alte Luftboxer... 110PS bei 260kg Gewicht... Topspeed: 220...

probably tire warming, don't know how cold it was but that could be it.
