    Bought a 2012 type this year. A fantastic bike, had the ECU flashed and it’s even more incredible. Underestimated bike but I find it gorgeous

    For those in the comment section slamming the guy for his abhorrent lack of safety gear, I just want you all to realize that he is wearing crocs, so.....that's all the protection he'll ever need.

    The Horsepower is great and all, but what makes these bikes so awesome is the 90+ft-lbs of torque from 4000-10,000 rpm with a 95ft-lb peak at 8750. Have the ECU flash tuned and remove the stupid gear restrictions in first and second and you have an absolute missile of a machine. I love mine, and I plan to keep it for a long while.

    • @moralrevulsionLive
      @moralrevulsionLive 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Also What makes this bike awesome is the fact many commuters have made over 120k miles on the clock without any mechanical issue. Reliability in bikes usually means its a honda

    Yeah, I was also trying NOT to imagine what it is to hit the ground with only a helmet on, but any other gear on. Take it seriously, get some gear when you ride, man, for your sake. Awesome bike, I gotta have one!

      Chad Baldwin I have a 2003 VFR800 with the factory panniers, it’s an amazing bike and extremely reliable. It feels rock solid and has great torque. VFR’s smile between 70-90 MPH, they eat up highway miles like nothing. Can they do city? Sure, they’re liquid cooled and have a fan (mine has dual radiators and a front mounted oil cooler) BUT they get hot. You’ll get gooch juice all over that seat in a Florida summer day. But on the highway, the bike will feel smooth and at home.
      I know you asked about the 2010 1200, but VFR’s are bulletproof highway thoroughbreds. I had the previous gen 2000 VFR800 as well, that bike was worth its weight in gold (5th gen has THE BEST sounding engine due to the gear driven cam shaft. I regret selling that bike 😭).
      Good luck and happy riding pal!

    Remeber when you where a little kid, and you where running around chasing a friend, and you would fall facedown on the ground because you triped over something? Remember that feeling in your handpalms en your knees? Remember picking the little gravel stones out of your skin? Now imagine that same feeling times 100... There is a reason they make protective clothing... nice review btw...

    Great bike and I love mine, but NO jacket, NO long pants, NO gloves...Hamburger HELPER!! Are you kidding? You're practically Buck Nekked. I was a motorcycle courier in Chicago years ago and lowsided at 25mph on an off ramp with a tank top on. I had just taken my jacket off because it was around 90deg. and 80% humidity...HOT. I'll NEVER forget what sliding down that pavement at 25 felt like and it was only my shoulder that had a few layers ground off. The fun part was the scrub-a-dub with pissed off nurse who didn't want to be on duty on a Friday night and the wire brush at the ER. I can't imagine t-boning an Amish horse drawn cart at speed with no gear. BTW- why would you go ripping past a horse drawn cart anyway? Give the horse some RESPECT!! :)
