Yep, you could take the next gen with VTEC but then you would loose the whine of the gear driven cams 😅

No it didn't

I also comes back to this video just to listen it, great engine :) But new video will come out soon, but with one less cylinder ;)

I recently bought a Multistrada 1200s to replace the VFR. I mulled over it for two years as there was nothing else that I wanted. The Multi sits, unused, because it’s nowhere near the bike that the VFR is. The Multi, on paper, beats the VFR everywhere. Way more power, way better tech. But the VFR is much more visceral and exciting, and much nicer to ride at 5/10 effort. Much better gearchange, much better brakes, much much better sound, infinitely better throttle connection, feels lighter (even though it isn’t), and all of that makes it feel more special to ride. Plus it doesn’t need the same level of expensive care to keep going.

Yep me too!

@@PartialS sälj multistradan och köp en vfr igen. Sålde min zzr1400 gör vfr-en

Yellow didn't come out until 2000

Update: just bought one for myself

Yeah, I miss it :(

VFR is still produced, RC79, 800 cc vtec. The only thing you can miss is the gear driven cams' whine.

mostly emissions and safety regulations

Do it, you won't regret it. I'm honestly thinking of buying one back 🙂

Yes, stock headers with Mivv Oval exhaust :)

Díky, bohužel VFRo už si našlo cestu k jinému majiteli... :)

Archie It's 1998 VFR and it is just a regular Mivv Oval slip-on with airbox mod (snorkel + flapper mod). Thx for support! :)

I need to stop watching this video. Jesus ... Ok ... I am getting a VFR 750 :D

:D You'll not regret it :)

Currently looking out for good 750 or 800fi offers in my area. The 800 comes with linked brakes right? Are those any good? :)

Linked brakes are superb, I've never experienced a bike with better brakes than mine 800FI, so if you could get one, do not hesitate ;)

Thanks! Sound was recorded on a smartphone with external microphone located in my backpack :)

I used some crappy $3 microphone from Aliexpress and recorder via Smartvoice recorder :)

It was the lower one and already came installed on the bike when i bought it. The noise is also thanks to the snorchel and flapper modification :)

Looking forward to it! :) Mic was placed in my backpack. And don't forget to also do snorchel and flapper modification, else it won't sound this good

On the herorr channel, people say that it's not benefical for the performances as it supposed to be for mid range torque and that there is no real interest to change what honda engineers studied on during several years to get the best benefit of the engine, what do you think ? Other question is why does it change the noise because of more air to come in low rpm ? thx Does it sound a lot different if you don't mod the snorkel ?

Well I did it because of the noticeable power loss between 5k and 6k RPM, where the flapper starts to open. All of this was designed for slightly better fuel economy, but it also affects the power figure. This modification smooths the power loss and also makes it sound more aggresive. It has nothing to do with power gain. I can't really tell if it would sound different with the snorkel in, but I doubt about it, because it restricts the air flow to the airbox, which makes that sound.

ScrewDriver aright, I understand your point of view better now thanks

Unfortunately the bike is no longer mine, I sold it a year ago.

Sound was recorded on a smartphone with external cheap chinese microphone located in my backpack :)

And you later mixed the sound recording with the film together?

Yes and also used horn for sync :)

ScrewDriver I must try that. All I get is wind noise on my VFR800.

Yes, exactly :)

avalanche8 no ala vfr;) v4 is honda sound since the 80's

You mean DB killer? If so, yes, it is removable :)

@@Volowitz95 cool. Debating between the storm version of this exhaust and the delkevic tri oval 17 ss exhaust

It was regular Mivv Oval exhaust :)

ScrewDriver thx

Mivv Oval
