My VFR also has a bit of a "whine" but is not noisy at all (I have the stock pipe), in fact it is quiet and that suits me very well. My son wants wants me to put another pipe on it to make it roar but it not going to happen lol.
Made 09 to 17 , killed off by new emmisions regs I believe. Clutch is heavy, did you mean v4s at 2.17. Wouldn't say noisy?? It's a lot of engine there, sounds lovely to me, ie induction roar etc (ear plugs in) and near silent when cruising. (compared to inline 4s). Just my thoughts.
Have a 2010 VFR etc with a Don Guhl flash. Total blast to ride. Only complaint is very hard ride on rough surfaces. Next addition to my collection will be a ZX 14R. Thanks for the video.
Clutch is not that hard on mine, at least compared to some of the most similar bikes I know, such as K1300. Gears are sweet, except some problems inserting the first gear from neutral sometimes. Perfect machine!
I jost got mine 2 weeks ago and it whines during deceleration other than that it purrs like any other bike of mine in the past or the present. Is that normal?
I agree with your comments, mine is exactly the same. I rode a triumph thruxton a while ago for an hour and it broke my clutch hand. The clutch is much heavier than the Vfr, which I would say is about average for an engine of that capacity.
Funny as the Triumph Bonneville T120 clutch is the lightest I have ever known! I wonder if fitting an Oberon slave cylinder (like we do on Ducati's) might help?
It was only a few thoughts wasn't it.... Mine is a bit whiney in the low gears, the radiator fan kicks in frequently. Mine weirdly feels different on the ride home from work compared to the morning. The engine brake seems more noticeable. It's a lot less smooth than in the morning. Anyone else get that?
This will sound mean and I’m sorry up front. So, I was walking as I was listening to this. By the time it was over I learned what your bike sounds like at idle and that the VFR is more comfy than the Busa. Not exactly earth shattering info. :-) Need a little meat with that salad, man.
60 seconds of this video made want to find a high cliff or tall building to end the misery of it. Thank goodness for skipping forward. Heavy clutches are seen a lot in high torque engines, i.e. V-Twins and V-Fours.

Mine quiet once moving having listened to the footage of the Busa the VFR doesn't sound much louder. Thanks for your comment
My clutch is very heavy too glad it's not just me but happy with the noise as it is fitted with a GRP exhaust . Enjoying your videos thanks.
Thank you for your comment glad it's not just mine thats heavy.

Couldn't agree more! Ride safe
I'm having my ECU flashed this week and dam exhaust by P3 Liverpool.
Please let me know the difference you notice please. Ride safe
@@midlifecrisis22 I will looking forward to it!!!
"The thing.. about all v twins" 🤕🤧 .. vs what the vfr being a four .. we miss your point
Yeah mine has the VFR whine to, all normal
Thank you and thanks for your comment

@@mickeystanic4750 Yep, I always get slagged cause it sounds like a turbo hahaha!!!
@@TrickyD1206 Thank you, feel much better now.....been researching like crazy about that "problem" to no avail. Cheers!

I didn't know 10° was ever warm 🤔
Noisey as valve knock?
Not a V twin mate.
Not sure if you mean the VFR has character or not? Wasn’t clear if you mean the Hayabusa had more character...
No the VFR has character
Can sound a bit clunky at times...
Thanks for your comment and I agree with you

Thanks for your comment I found mine was very different in different temperatures ride safe
Hard day's work fatigue?
Try a booster plug

Thank you for your feedback, and we will endeavour to put a bit more meat on the salad in the future ride safe
Short and sweet

Thanks for your comment. I hope you don't get disappointed like that again.
This is whiney? Wait untill you hear a 98-01 vfr800 ;) those cam gears man.
Had a 98 until last year. Had since 2004 ...really looked after. When got VFR 1200 2 years ago sold 800 for not a lot .....regret it
@@nigel274 the 98-01 800's go for about 3500euros where i life in the state which mine is in. They really hold their value when looked after here.
