      Halfdead Rider Agree but late 90’s to early/mid 2000’s is definitely my era for bikes. I have an ‘03 Hornet (Honda 599) prefer it over modern bikes. I just love how bikes looked then and think their paint designs were much nicer. I also think Honda have lost the plot now and can’t stand their HRC colour schemes. When I bought my first lid (Arai) in 2000 I was spoilt for choice, seemed to like every other design but when I was looking for a lid in 2015 the only one I was drawn to turned out to be discontinued. Ended up with the Shark, Carl Fogarty Anniversary edition. I’m probably in the minority now but I’m ok with that :)

      I have a cbr600rr from '03 still think its one of the best looking bikes (in my price range) out there! When I tell people (those that don't know that much of motorcycles) that the bike is from 2003 they all look suprised! Personally I think the cbr from 03 is more beautiful than the newer ones ('12 , ....) my opinion ofcourse :)

    • @HalfdeadRider
      @HalfdeadRider 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yea they are great looking bikes still too, I would get one but I think I would only own a sport bike if I was lucky enough to own more than one bike, I don't think my wrists would cope on a sport bike for long periods of time.

    • @sergiokawakid9661
      @sergiokawakid9661 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be honest (the cbr is my first racer) I thought I couldn't ride like that for more than a few hours. But now I own one I can ride it the whole day! with no problems as long as i keep the power in my legs and my upperbody is relaxed (The way u should ride all the time) But if I'm stuck in traffic it becomes a whole different story , compared to this the z750 is like sitting in you're sofa at home. So for commuting I couldn't agree more with u, but lets say for a trip to (in my case) luxembourg or the Ardennes where there's almost no traffic and u can ride all day without having to stop every 20 seconds, the only place u will feel this is you're bum (because of the old seat, i'll bet new bikes don't have this problem as much) xD (my experience/opinion^^)

    I’ve been riding all kinds of bikes for close to 50 years; 66 years old now and I can’t see giving up my ‘09 VFR. It’s not my daily rider, a V-Strom has that job, but the VFR (with basic mods) has enough character, comfort and class to keep me buying new (and better) rubber. Next summer, I’ll finally lower the pegs a tad and add HeliBars - hopefully, that’ll get me into my seventies.

    • @danielshelton2658
      @danielshelton2658 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Read up on the PAIR modification for your VFR.
      Mine had awful fuelling at low rpm, and this mod solved it within minutes, at no cost.
      Air is pulled from the airbox, directly to the exhaust in an attempt to clean up the emissions.
      The thing is, it is introduced into the exhaust before the oxygen sensor, which then takes an effectively false reading , which confuses the fuel injection.
      After the (very easy) mod, the throttle response was much more predictable.

    As a motorcycle courier for over 36 years . I’ve used VFR’s since 87 . I currently own the 2014 but I will admit the 02 was my favorite . I put 700,000 miles on that one and average 400 to 500 thousand on all the VFR models . plus back in 91 full coverage on a gsxr would’ve been $2300 a year cuz they’re stolen or crashed all the time while the same coverage on a VFR was only $600 cuz punks don’t ride them , crash them or steal them Like most squidbikes. I’ve ridden them hard and put them away wet many times . They’re bullet proof.

    I own an 04 vfr and I have never removed the side fairing for an oil change. Turn the bars to the left while back is on center stand and reach through header area. Pretty simple. It helps to remove the 3 bolts holding the black cover in front of the headers.
    The vfr isn’t the best bike out there but it is a great jack of all trades bike. The V4 is an amazing engine and the usable torque and power band keeps me happy anytime I am riding it. Great bike with a lot of soul.

    Unless your tracking this bike the valves should never be a problem. I heard of so many owners that went 60k miles on theirs that went and had a valve check only to find them in perfect spec. Also the 5th gens were notorious for the wire harness melting. Honda used too small wire and heat issues cause the plastic on the wire harness would melt shorting out your stator and/or regulator leaving you dead in the water. They improved the plastic on the wire harness on the 6th gens but it can still be a problem. I always check mine when I do oil changes to see if I see any discoloration of the harness which will indicate a problem early. I plan on upgrading mine so I wont have to worry. Go to www.roadstercycle.com and get the super mosfet kit if any vfr owners want to upgrade theirs for a permanent fix.

    Looking at your video, I wonder: aren't both front tyres on the wrong way around? The way the profile goes it seems to drain water towards the middle of the tyre which is exactly what you don't want. Compare the profile with your rear tyres, that both seem to be on the way I'd expect them to be.
    I might be wrong, just something I noticed :)

    well, newer doesnt mean better, when it comes to the VFR... I got the older VFR 750 RC36 II from 95, it ran now about 98.000KM and the only thing i had to change (what was not maintenance) was the loading controller from the generator. Changing oil is even easier then on your CBR, and weights about 238KG with full gas. Still, due to its height, getting backwards outta the garage is not funny, i give you that, but valves are not yet nessecary to ajust (doesnt make any noises, and got no V-Tech), but spark plugs are still painful on her, given that V4 engine and the lot of Plastic around it... but still, reliable till deah do us part.

  • @elevvfr800
    @elevvfr800 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice comparo of the two machines. As you note, it's a little unfair comparing two bikes of different vintage. In front, I'll admit my VFR preference; I'm on my fourth, starting with a '95 and am now riding a 2014. The two bikes really have two different missions; the CBR is more track-focused, while the VFR is designed as an all-rounder. I've done track time on the CBR and two of my VFR's, and while ultimate cornering speed is higher on the CBR, the VFR does not disappoint when you are on the track. Since I use a bike to commute and for the occasional long ride, I find the VFR more comfortable. Most of all, however, the V4 is just an exceptional engine. After tens of thousands of miles on VFR's, I'm still grinning every time I rotate my right hand - it is an amazing sound! BTW, I had a Remus titanium system on my '03 and it gave a much mellower sound than the Delkovic silencers (not much) on your VFR. Good riding and thanks.

    Actually, you give a statistic that belies your favoritism of the RR: miles per month. If I understood correctly, you had (at the time of the vid) 7K on the VFR and 14K on the RR; but you've been riding the RR three times as long. If so, that would mean you ride the VFR more per month (or some other time length).
    That would seem to suggest the VFR gains the upper hand.

    Nice 2 bikes, but you got the wrong VFR, try a 2000, cascading pinions to the head, no VTEC. Bulletproof motor, will out drag race the VTEC same top speed. But you miss the biiggest points. A VFR will take a cute girl on the back seat, it's completely stable, the power shrugs off the extra weight, you can even add a tank bag, throw over baggage and tour Europe. You take a CBR600R/RR or 900 sports bike and stick a girl on the back helicopter pad and it is unstable, frightningly so. I have done all of these things. Now The 2000 800 was not the most beutiful, for that you have to go to the first VFR750, in red, when you say it has everything, it had. The sidestand had it's own fairing. I have never seen that on another bike. I had one, of course it got stolen

    Would a VFR800 make a good first bike or is it too big and powerful? FYI, I am a short guy , at 5' 6" tall; and I weigh only 130 lbs. Also, I am an older, responsible adult, 48 yrs. old.
    The main reason I'm asking is because, where I live, I'm seeing beautiful VFR800s with low miles, that are the same price as Ninja 300s. Small bikes, like the Ninja 300, for example, seem like such a rip off when you can get a VFR800, with the same mileage, for the same price, or even cheaper in some cases. As an example, what would you do if you had a choice between buying a 2013 Ninja 300 or a 2006 VFR800 in showroom condition, same mileage as the Ninja, both asking $3,000? There's even a 1998 VFR800 in my area, asking $2,000...In one of your videos, you said that the 1998 is the best year for the VFR800. It's frustrating because the small bikes are so expensive, for what you get. Note, in regards to the 1998 VFR, according to the online specs, it weighs only 458 pounds, better suited for a beginner rider.

    So yours is a 6th gen then I presume, I do like your CBR Tbh it was very hard for me not to buy one due to the size but bucket list won lol, I've also got a KTM 450 as a chuck around (and do track days in my MR2) so thought tourer makes more sense over super sport for me, that's one good looking CBR tho damn tempting you got two lovely bikes which I'm sure you already know..👍👌👍

    @MrGeoffrey1998 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    i might buy a VFR (i have a 2007 er6n (ninja 650r in the US) and an xj6n) because it's known to be reliable. I just wonder if it's not too heavy compared to the motorcycle i have, i also don't know if i'll buy a vfr 750 or vfr 800 fi..

  • @enlightenedidiot9552
    @enlightenedidiot9552 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If it was track days only, the 600RR would be the obvious choice. But for real world street riding? The VFR blows it away. And I've owned both, plus 900rrs and R1s and others...

    I'm a Devon fan for sure however a don't think he Kan win against Laletin, Morozov or Kvikvinina again without bulking up. If he want to hold he heavy weight no1 spot he need to be challenged at least 3 times a year. If he go for supers full in i actually think he would give Gasparini a really good and close fight. He just have to close the strength and weight gap

    bro, VFR stands for, okay, VRacing, so you got out of the line when said "built for different reasons", VFR has racing roots from races and as for 600cc bikes - not really sure why they exists, for canyon once or twise a year or track day, but you have to get to those places somehow lol

    The CBR just sounds crap compared to the VFR. Nothing beats the open exhaust V4 growl, makes me grin every time I push the start button... Four headlights, linked brakes, weather protection, stability in strong winds is also a pro for the 800.

    I'm 55 & I think you have two awesome bikes.the 07/08 cbr 600rr's are the best looking supersports imo & also are comf & are fast & handle like a dream. The vfr is way more practical for street riding with the comfy ergos & low end torque. The stance & bodywork & exhaust on the cbr is beautiful, you have the best of both worlds. Don't ever get rid of them!

    V tec is not variable valve timing it's more complicated than that the actual cam lobe and lift gets bigger at a Sertain rpm to produce more torque pretty amazing

      @codyaukai8538 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      DIY Tutorials And More the vtec in a vfr isn't like the car engines. It doesn't change cam profile, it opens another intake valve

    • @HeroRR
      @HeroRR  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Technically it is. C+P from Wiki. "The simplified motorcycle version of VTEC employs only two of the four valves per cylinder when operating at lower engine speeds. All four valves per cylinder are engaged above approximately 6,800 rpm. This is initiated by an electronically actuated oil spool valve, which send oil pressure to the lifter actuators, which then move the engagement pins into place above the valve stem, allowing the remaining two valves to open. This design allows for *variable valve timing* as well, since the cam lobe profiles can be made different."

  • @michaeldobson8859
    @michaeldobson8859 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The VFR has 4 headlights not two. Vtec is a joke. No reason for it. No one else ever needed it. It’s what makes the valve check impossible to do.

    @laremare 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Imo Vtec is kinda pointless on a motorcycle. Motorcycles generally get way better gas mileage than cars even without it, so it just adds more complexity to a machine you'd otherwise just maintain in your garage.

  • @florisnr11
    @florisnr11 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a meganic i will say this, i like them both. Bud an inline engine ride better and is faster and lower cost to keep riding. Also all v engine,s 2 ore 4 cilinder will brake down faster and use more gasoline. So Money wise a vfr is not so smart. That a side, love them both.

  • @mattdrinkwine1936

    I’ve owned 5 vfr and this guy says the 600 is better in the canyons does not understand the pedigree of the vfr I took mine on dragons tail and passed Maori than a handful of in line fours. Then he cries about how heavy it is I would put mine on the kickstand and pull it up so nothing is touching the ground but the kickstand and do a 180 or put it anywhere I needed too .what a crappy review .

    If the VFR lost 50-75 pounds, it would be absolutely perfect, I think. Maybe chill with the vtec adjustments and bring back gear driven cams and other reliability standards.

    I own a 2007 6th Gen VFR, a 2005 Suzuki SV1000s and a couple of inline 4s (Kawsaki ZZR 600 and a Honda CB600F Hornet) and they all have their advantages/disadvantages. I live in California and have an urban commute and have had a different experience from you in terms of choosing my favorite commuter. I prefer my ZZR 600 for commuting for several reasons;
    (1) The VFR runs hot here in California in the summer. The side-mounted radiators don't cool the bike as quick in slow moving city traffic. It can get up to 115 here in July through September.
    (2) The ZZR is SKINNY - great for lane-splitting here where it is legal. Some of the roads I travel on are too narrow to fit the VFR between stationary traffic lanes.
    (3) The VFR is heavy, making low speed handling more of a pain when commuting in urban areas.
    (4) I HATE the V-TEC in the lower gears - too notchy for me in 1st and 2nd, making commuting less enjoyable. It's fine at speed and less noticeable in higher gears.
    (4) I find I-4s easier to ride in low-speed conditions like my commute. The linear power response makes them more predictable and they just seem to handle better at low RPMs.
    I do actually commute on all of them, but find the Hornet and the ZZR my favorite for those types of riding, with the SV being great for the twisties and the VFR great for long distances...

    • @HeroRR
      @HeroRR  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do 100% agree that lane splitting on a VFR is noticeably harder than other bikes. Also the VTEC is quite annoying sometimes.

    I own a 02 VFR 800 and after watching how to vids on YT I’ve realized you don’t have to remove anything to do an oil change on the VFR!! There is plenty of space to reach in the front and access the filter. The oil drains with no issue as well. Took me 15 mins to do it to!!
