Is the VFR a cult bike?

Dude, we're having virgin sacrifice once a year to the VFR gods, of course it's not a cult...................

 

it's definitely a cult bike.. the 13 years of "best streetbike" in the 80s-90s cemented it's status as one of the best bikes ever made. very rarely does someone who rides/owns one ever settle for less assuming you only have one bike. Every stable of bikes should have one

 

well. I shaved my head. so....I guess it is.

 

Yes its a cult bike, now send me all your money and sign all your property over to me. In return, you will achieve total enlightenment,so you'll have that goin for ya, which is nice.

 

Webster defines a cult in several different ways:

1 : formal religious veneration : worship
2 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion

#5 seems to hit the nail on the head.

 

I had to do a double-take. I thought you said "cunt bike"!

 

my local dealer called it a "cult bike"..... while for them most part they are idiots, i will accept their expertice in this matter.

Is to tall Jones, to tall?

 

If the Mormons, Scientologists , Rush Limbaugh devotees, Amway distributers, Masons, Lesbians, or members of the Trilateral comission ride them, then yes.

However, actually NO, cuz a cult bike never got rave reviews, never sold well while it was available, isn't conventional in some ways, is flawed in some ways and has limited appeal........like one real cult bike, the NT 650 Honda Hawk, 1988-1990 !

Plus, any 2-stroke over 200 cc is also a cult bike.

 

Q. Is the VFR a cult bike?

A. :nod:

 

The VFR is a cult bike. Look at how we try to recruit others. Go to any other motorcycle forum... "What is the best sport-touring bike?...VFR!, What is the best sport bike?...VFR! What is the best dirt bike, VFR!"

You get used to the goat blood.

 

Yes, it is a cult bike. There are actually two well posted forums in english alone. The pricing is relatively stable above the $1-2k floor most used bikes hit after ten years. There is still aftermarket support for 5th generation bikes! Some others I'd consider cult bikes would be (add yours and potentially hijack Reg's thread):

Honda:
* NT650's - Hawk GT / BROS (squirrelman's pick)
* CB-1 bzzzzzz
* SupeScooter- er, Pacific Coast

Yamaha:
RZ-350
FZR-400

Kawasaki:
KZ-1000

Suzuki:
GS1150
GSXR-750

any MotoGuzzi... you have to have religion to ride these. ;-)

 

Yes it is. If it wasn't for the VFR / Interceptor, then I wouldn't own a street bike at all.

 

the vfr is a machine...the cult part is the owners who keep drinking the somewhat suspect koolaid.

 

The VFR does seem to have a CULT following. It's wicked man. :angel:

 

I agree, never thought I would ever be involved with a cult but its not as bad as I thought it would be.
I actually enjoy being a member of this cult...
Hmmmmm, why does this wine taste funny?

 

Also Z1k and ZRX

 

pass me the kool-aid and sweat suit. if it was for my vf500 i probably wouldn't own a motorcycle
