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.
I've owned a '98 VFR 800 for a year and a half now, and had a nasty crash last February. Currently restoring the bike and this video is what pushed me over the edge: it's getting a brand new Mivv slip-on :D
Hey!!! ScrewDriver!!! Guess what?I got my self an HONDA VFR 800 FI 1999!!! A yellow one.....and i love it!!! I have an awesome sound in my machine,Wydech DominatoR Moto GP1 with no baffle /straight pipe,flapper mod,snorkel mod,paiir valve mod and KN airfilter......I just love that raw V4 Engine power and that wining sound from the gear driven cams!!!LOVE THE MACHINE !!!!
My 98 vfr800 is by far the most amazing sounding machine! It took my heart away from my 1991 gsxr1100 r. She crys in the garage! I'll ride this bike until I die!
I bought an 800FI bit over a month ago, mine has a leovince slip-on and the sound is incredible. I love the looks on people when you give it a bit throttle as their necks snap looking for the racecar..
That sound is sheer heaven! I use it also to put me to sleep because that very sound is beautifully reassuring. I own a 2015 VFR800 and it sounds superb, but the sound of the VFR in this vid is a cut above. Thankyou for posting it. 🤩
This was my "the video" to watch and dream about getting one, after 3 years watching on regular basis it makes me sad still not being able to get one despite trying.
i came from 2 sv 650s, witch for me was a glimps into sport/gt. I think this bike is for me. Is the cbs is good ? i had an abs for my last and it was really great. I did without before but when you taste abs, hard to go back. The good thing is easy to find high milenage and low price because only people who knows that motocycles knows everything before 100K kilometers is liek a new, right ;) ( i sold my svs 650 at 80000km, was perfect condition, just oil eating engine )
I wanted to tell you that I decided to buy a mivv slip on oval exhaust for mine. Hope it will sound this way. Where you ve placed the external mic? I will do a video in answer to yours one day
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.

The best sounding engine. I own a VTEC and love the sound but nothing beats the combined whine and growl of the previous gen VFR 800
Yep, you could take the next gen with VTEC but then you would loose the whine of the gear driven cams 😅
Very nice sound. I also liked that you ride safely, with no blind corner over passing
Best video of the VFR Geardriven cams engine. This video made me buy my 1999 VFR! Thanks for inspiring me!
No it didn't
I'm here again, just once or two per week. Soundporn engine ! 💕
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 gave away my '98 FI w/Arrow can after I stopped biking. The sound of those gear driven cams is spine tingling
Best sound, best gear change !! excellent
OMG!!! I'm addicted to that sound!!!The sound of V4 - Power!!! I watch this video every day....I love it......Thanx ScrewDriver for an awesome video.

Yellow didn't come out until 2000
Cracking bikes and great video, I love my VFR and everyone is right - that V4 sound is unbeatable !
If this is definition of an eargasm............THIS SOUND IS!!!I LOVE HONDA VFR - V4 Sound of POWERRRR,......................
My 98 vfr800 is by far the most amazing sounding machine! It took my heart away from my 1991 gsxr1100 r. She crys in the garage! I'll ride this bike until I die!
VFR Hondas love being ridden like this, quality oil changes, warm up the motor carefully and then ride hard.... it wont break 👍
I bought an 800FI bit over a month ago, mine has a leovince slip-on and the sound is incredible. I love the looks on people when you give it a bit throttle as their necks snap looking for the racecar..
The perfect sounding exhaust! Just like a European small block V8🇪🇺🖤

Sounds just like mine on a stock backbox love the whistle gives it a a unique sound
And it's a '98-'99 5th gen no less! Best vfr ever made!
Finaly a no wind and good quality video . Awesome bike bro
Best video with that beautiful V4 sound. Great job!
Always loved that V4 engine and its sound, and I really like that exhaust note - and me thinks you know that road.....
This was my "the video" to watch and dream about getting one, after 3 years watching on regular basis it makes me sad still not being able to get one despite trying.
thats some proper audio recording
Sounds bad ass! I'm riding a VTEC for 2+ years (with a full system) and about to swap to an FI purely out of curiosity. :D
Fantastic sound, I have the same bike but with the standard tailpipe, this sounds more impressive.....have fun stay safe!
Nice clutchless gear shifting skills of a rider!
love the gear whine and the off throttle burble.
Nice vid mate!
Music to my ears ;)
I saw this video, I bought VFR800fi. Thx.
I think the Mivv is the best exhaust system to enhance this v4 melody
La moto est déjà une tuerie avec son V4 mais avec le pot 💪🏼
Wow this real sound
I have the same gen5 year 2000 bike there isn't that many vids that you can hear the true sound of the v4 gen 5 like this good vid
Cant stop watching and listening...so dope!
Beautiful music.
Mivv is the what best suits this v4 melody
Sounds so much better than my VTEC
いい音！
I watch this video just to listen to the sound; music to my ears.
Update: just bought one for myself
Holly shit... This sound is pure music !!
Yeah, I miss it :(
This noise gives me goosebumps ;)
Its fucking good. My like to you
One day this video will save a young man from purchasing an electric motorcycle...
Suuuperb, great sound and riding, true vfr love =D
How did you record this beautiful sound 😮😮😮
sublime
What a beautiful sound this bike makes why can't honda make bike like these anymore
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

Awesome sound, love it. Stock headers? Which one of the MIVV cans is that?
Yes, stock headers with Mivv Oval exhaust :)
Thank, now I've got one 😜👌😎
Thats it...i'm buying one. oh my that V-growl...
Do it, you won't regret it. I'm honestly thinking of buying one back 🙂
Best sound!!!
which model of Mivv exhaust do you have?
Beautiful
Krásný zvuk ;) (y)
Díky, bohužel VFRo už si našlo cestu k jinému majiteli... :)
Have a 6th gen vfr myself. What Mic you using to get exhaust sound?
Please tell me what actually exaust you had. Some link with same exaust pls. I want to have same sound on mine 800 FI
tak to krásně zpívat dokáže jen starý vfr ro :-)
2 questions from me :D
What year is the bike and is it a full system exhaust or a slip on. Great video man, love the V4 sound!
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 ;)
How did you record the sound?
What microphone are you using? Love my 5th gen sound but cant record without a ton of distortion
I used some crappy $3 microphone from Aliexpress and recorder via Smartvoice recorder :)
Sounds mean just like mine 2000 vfr800fi with black widow shorty slip on
he was in high or low position? where did you buy it? I live in France and I am interested to buy one, it has a hell of a noise better than my mig
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 :)
I wanted to tell you that I decided to buy a mivv slip on oval exhaust for mine. Hope it will sound this way. Where you ve placed the external mic? I will do a video in answer to yours one day
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

ScrewDriver aright, I understand your point of view better now thanks
I guess you've fitted your camera to your helmet but how did you filmed this without annoying wind rustling?
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.
What year is this VFR?
Great video, how did You recorded sound without wind noise ?
Thanks! Sound was recorded on a smartphone with external microphone located in my backpack :)
wowo super sound,ala ducati
avalanche8 no ala vfr;) v4 is honda sound since the 80's
Can we have a photo or video of the pot mounted on the motorcycle VFR 800 FI
Unfortunately the bike is no longer mine, I sold it a year ago.
This sound rocks! I guess this is without baffle/db-killer, right?
Yes, exactly :)
Found this exhaust for a good deal. Is the baffle tip removable?
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
What model Mivv?
Mivv Oval
Which exact model do you have for exhaust please
It was regular Mivv Oval exhaust :)
ScrewDriver thx
Quel modèle de pot mivv svp ?
Mivv Oval
Merci en tout cas superbe vidéo j'adore !👍
Nice job on this video with the audio.. Check out my latest! Similar to this
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm V4 porn
This vfr sounds bad, mufler to much open, or engine need adjustment. I have the same model of vfr.
Take out the shit of your ears
no skill driving.
Nobody said that this video is about driving skills ;)
It's RIDDING not driving .......
