Had a 750. The sound of those gear driven cams...

Great vid...rewind November 1982 as an (almost) 17 year old i paid £799 for a brand new one, kept it 2 years then bought a car. Fast forward 20 years ...in 2002 at 36 years old i bought another brand new one for £2500, passed my test on it and kept it 4 years. On both bikes i simply took restrictors out of the exhaust for much better performance. Now in 2024 at age 58 I'm about to buy a Honda CRF 300L. You're never too old.

That b8ke sounds like a fart 😅.. I wouldn't ride that shite cause everyone think I farted What a bag a bolts. Get a real VFR .

What how much for insurance lad ?

I bought my silver VFR800fi in 2000 and have covered a good 140.000 km to date. Right at the beginning a typical VFR problem occurred. The regulator of the alternator and the alternator broke! Since then, only wearing parts and oil have been changed! The VFR is indestructible and doesn't even have any measurable oil consumption. In short, I love my VFR as much as I did on the first day! Best regards from Germany

Where did you get those wheels from?

I have a 1990 vfr750 with 95k km, a 1999 cbr1100xx with 125k km and a 1998 vfr800 with 115k km. They are all Honda, will last 4ever

Will this work with a stock surron? I'm planning to buy one and my dad told me he will only allow me to have one if it doesent go over 25kmh

DT125Rは俺の青春さ☺

I've just finished sorting a VFR 800 like this to my taste,new suspension, cosmetics exhaust etc etc, and without doubt it feels more like a race bike than any sports bike I've ever owned. The engine is simply beautiful....and more than enough power in the tank for most on the road,and track

Surprised how well some sleepers look.

Great video- the last street bike I rode was a 1999 VFR800.

This may seem odd thing to do but Blaster makes a spray, surface shield. Yes your wheel will look a little oily or what but I'll never look crusty or rusty.

Im looking to do the same mods on my dt125r, where did u buy the tailtidy? it looks good!

I have zero knowledge of bikes at the moment, but am very enthusiastic about them after meeting my girlfriend's dad, who has always been obsessed with building, riding and tracking his own ensemble of motorcycles. He recently picked up one of these for £150 that had been totalled and left to rot in a shed for a quarter of a century; it was crashed the year after it was manufactured, in '99. It's an import (we're not sure where from) with 8096km on the clock - it is almost perfect mechanically, but a majority of the 'panels' or whatever you'd like to call them and some parts of the frame are very badly scuffed or totally unsalvageable. I'm helping him pick it apart in order to understand how they work, but there's a good chance that this VFR800fi will be the first 'real' bike that I own once I have passed my tests and gotten some proper practice in on his '83 GSXR 400. Videos like this are helping me truly understand and appreciate the heritage of this bike, and I'm so lucky that my first experiences will be on some of the most iconic motorbikes ever produced.

DULLL?!? WHAT ABOUT VTEC?

Man what ehxaust is that ? Sound great, I have the stock one I'm looking for upgrade

160L till Reserve? How? My goes to 100km... Barely!

I was expecting a glorious V4 sound thirst trap and got hit with the Tiktok meme 😂

I have a standard VFR800Fi Anniversary, I love it but my wife hates it My wife prefers my even older CBR1000F

sounds beautiful

I had a Gen 4 750, and a Gen 5 800. Loved them. Unfortunately, in the mid '00s I got all caught up in the Adventure bike craze and let them go. Wish I had the 800 now.

I'm looking for one of these vfr to replace my 1998 1200 bandit. With more than a 100.000 km on the clock it still runs great and expensiveless

The new wheel was 11.5kg and the old one 12.4.. SO you were losing a kg of weight.. SO WHY IS IT SLOWER? less weight more speed ;o)

How can I put this.. If you want to ride around all day on very high revs, hanging on the a rocket for dear life.. A VFR isn't the one. I've had 1 litre bikes and they are brilliant and mad and pull your arms off! But as a practical bike that is good for long distance and can still get to 160mph (mine has recently passed this! with a few mods) this is a very comfortable bike that actually handles really well.. I uses less petrol than my old CBR600 fuel injected bike! Th reliability and growl of that V4 is fun.. I understand why people say its boring! gear driven cams sound divine! I hate the weight of the thing! if they lightened at and added some extra horses.. it would have been much better.. I enjoy riding it, especially long distance! An inline 4 revs higher and sounds great, but once a few speed tickets have been and gone.. You look for fun and transport in a more practical way.. Start on racing bikes and evolve to touring mode lol

what model should i buy im thinking of buying a dt 125

probably going to pick one up this weekend

I recently bought the chin curtain for the k3 sv and I've gotta say it's gotten a lot quieter since!

Is that with baffles removed or in?

This is fucking insane

I have a 00 fifth GEN and the first three points are fixed and the brakes are fantastic for the year it was made. Cheers

I own a 2000 fi & a 95 750 .. i love both, sort out the 4 main weak points ( R/R, Exhaust system , oil cooler pipes & a scottoiler ) then you have yourself a very well sorted machine that’ll out live you, all thats needed is the mere consumables, mileage means nothing to these gear driven cammed wonders 😎👌

not sure why the letters th keep being pronounced dee?

1:26. My very first bike. I loved that thing. I couldn't wheelie it very well. But I could do 60mph rolling stoppies. I was gutted when it was stolen. I have worked in the bike trade since I was fifteen, ridden most modern bikes up to 2017. But this was the most fun bike I ever rode. And some of the shenanigans I got up to on it.... If I didn't have witnesses no one would believe me

Do you know if this would work with one of those 80cc 2stroke kits for a normal bicycle?

looks great but the finish on the 3d printed parts is absolutely horrendous

i don' t know why, but in my case it doesn't work if i limiting the positive wire as shown in diagram.

your right, I also think these are the best looking VFR's. yours is a stunning example.

Respect

Hi, really great video, your parts came out looking amazing! Quick question though, I'm afraid of the cutting and sanding of carbon fibre, due to the dust, did you find that dust was all over your workspace, how do you collect dispose of it? I just don't want the worry of itching due to the fine dust it creates but I have never worked with the stuff. Thanks so much!

wich exhaust do you have instaled?

cant you phone-addicted guys carry it in a backpack or pocket ?? they do not belong mounted within a riders view as theyre a big distraction.

Hi Mate, yes VFR800 5 gen owner. Mirrors no problem mine are perfect, I'm 5ft11. Steel headers rusting yes so what, you can't see them. what does rust and is a pain in the arse are all the little fairing screws. Now big rant, if you want to work on this bike yourself be ready to battle with hundreds of fasteners and bits of plastic. A wild weasel can not get in there get at it quick do not imagine an impatient Englishman can do better. I can strip a bike to the last bolt and reassemble, I used to shim valves on Desmo Ducatis to Zero thou BUT adjust valves on a VFR, Go home masochist, I put it in the local Honda garage and let them suffer.Rectifier, it failed after 120 or 15 years can't remember. Now i keep the bike VERY standard it was so good out of the factory that you don't mess with it. I replaced rectifier but was annoyed. ,It overheats because it is hidden perfectly under all that plastic. Let's solve that. On a desktop or gamer PC, you have a fan over the CPU to keep it cool. It is 12v, a bit of glue and it fits on the VFR Rectifier, connect the two wires (Solder please) to the rear light cable. Your rectifier will be cool and not fail. VFRs are cool. As for the breaks, they are seriously good, you don't realize how good, there is a natural ABS built into the design very hard to lock up except viscous on gravel. On Kawasaki or Suzuki Sportbike with two fingers I can tie the bike up in knots, SO exciting, probably not the fastest way round the bend, yes I'm not Hailwood or Agostini.

is it the same engine as in the NSR50? I would like to put the top hat on the NS-1 ?

I love the irish accent, i also love a turd light😂❤

I bought a 2004 VFR new. I still ride it and love it , zero problems. The V-4 is such a great engine. It still turns heads and I get offers to buy it regularly. There are a lot of faster bikes, and more comfortable bikes, but not too many bikes do everything as well as the VFR.

This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen

Psss, don't tell anyone but I finally just bought a 2001 vfr800 in red.

v4

where did you buy the rear light?
