- Taking the scenic and twisty route home around Sydney from the NW to the SW after a day's fun out North of Sydney. Group Ride finished at Windsor, this video is from Richmond to Liverpool via the West to get home rather than M7 motorway 🛣
Randomly came across this vid while going through past bikes. And this video has made me really miss my VFR12DCT. Shame I had a dog of a version (Needed a new exhaust 3 months after buying it second hand, not economical to repair). Would love to have another one parked next to my BMW R1200RT.
The VFR12 DCT is a bi-polar bike. In drive she's as sedate as a 500cc commuter, stick it in sport and it reminded me of the zzr1400 I had, just without the chain drive.....damn the more I'm typing the more I'm missing it
mine was written off. I managed to fudge the claim. Kept it. Some minor DIY fixes to offset insurance, gtg. I had no intention of losing this thing. Irreplaceable. Unless a ZX14R came with bags. No, I don't want a FJR or 1400GTR. Add a 14R, sure. Replace my 1200? No. It's the 3rd hyper-bike no one mentions. 300kph maybe not. But it hits 280 liketty split. All day mile munching missile. I'm not getting rid of it. Own a goldwing DCT as well btw. love DCT
@Paul_Zernick honestly, the VFR12 was a better bike as the ZZR1400. Realistically got going just as quick as the ZZR1400, but with shaft drive and guaranteed smooth gear changes. Its not right to compare the VFR12 to the FJR13, GTR14 etc, as they do a different job
The Triumph Sprint GT had Side cases and top box removable. Probably not as fast though. Okay bike, used to own one..
Heard of sprints. Just checked again. 96kw. VFR800 78kw. VFR1200F 127kw. Same eras..... '10-ish+. Getting more 800 vibes from it than 1200🤔🤷 I think they were more in competition with each other. The 1200 was a weirdly recieved rooster.
Lovely, stay safe
New decat pipes and dyno vid
Is it on a VFR1200F? On the forums we are desperately hunting this. There are apparently decat pipes available for the VFR1200X.

Yeah theirs a few here in the UK on ebay , I'm thinking about getting this bike I currently have a blackbird
I really want the gen 3 busa tho but too much atm at 12k gbp used
@@modoudrammeh natural progression. I gathered the bird & big viffer are very popular in 🇬🇧. I got extremely late into bikes. Post retirement actually. 42yo, 2013+. Ducati monster 659. Did bugger all k's in 7yrs,
Corona, 2020, single, got bored. Racked up the 1200 in 2020 & a CTX1300. Traded the 1300 & got the wing & R1 in 2021. If I got into bikes 10yrs earlier I'm sure I would have done the whole bird, busa and 14R thing. Still hope to add a '15 ohlins ZX14R in green to my collection.
Power, don't think you'll miss it. Having a '13 big bang R1, I don't feel slow on the big red rocket 🚀. No it's not 200kg. No (with new suspension) does not remotely feel 265kg+ either.
Probably the best SPORTS tourer out there. I can't come up with a replacement, so won't. 👍💯
@@modoudrammeh rode a new busa. 💗💗💗💗
I never buy new. NEVER!......
Add a current busa one day? 🤔 It's niiiiiice 👍
Will get a 14R first though.

That's awesome! Yeah the vfr1200f can pump out high 160s to 170 rwhp after a decat tune and k&n filter
I'm most likely gonna get the vfr but having a busa and knowing you can turbo it for about 5k is a whole other beast haha
Yeah I've seen ur vids of the r1 and gold wing keep it up 🤌✌️
I've ridden a 2015 r1..it was unreal..its like riding a super powerful mini bike haha
