Is it possible?

Is it possible to get a knee down on a '98 VFR 800???

 

Never happen hahaha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVqQnRrvask&feature=related but then again fast freddie can drag a knee on a Silverwing scooter

 

thats definitely not a '98

 

I really want a serious answer to this question please someone.. anyone

 

Of course, 6th & 5th gens have almost same geometry, so here's a 6th...

 

thank you so much. I've been trying to decide if i want to accept an offer from a friend to buy his but didnt know if it was a good bike for twisties

 

Possible yes....wise......not really. Spoken from an old fart so ya young folks ignore previous.

 

a '98 vfr is more than capable of handling twisties. granted, an r6 or a gixxer might be nimbler, it all boils down to your riding skills. knee dragging is nice to see and do but it would be wise to do it in a more controlled environment such as the track or an empty parking lot.

 

If you are mostly interested in dragging your knees get a different bike . . . .

 

The VFR is very capable in the twisties but it is not a pure sport bike and you'll definately notice it's heavier weight and slower acceleration compared to other bikes. The good news is that these bikes are well built and the engines known to last a very long time with proper maintanence. I remember the first time I rode a VFR the first thing that popped into my head is that the bike didn't feel like it was cheaply made like other "sport" bikes I have owned in the past. Did I mention that you can ride it all day long without feeling like you need a trip to the chiropractor afterwards??

Yea get one of these & really impress your friends YouTube - deals gap on a goldwing/gl1800 by yellow wolf dragons tail lol

 

Now that guy was riding the wheels of that thing!!!!
Personally I think the Dragon is quite possibly the most dangerous stretch of road in the East. People go here to show off, that's it! If you don't screw up yourself you can easily become a victim of someone else's poor judgement. You will never catch me riding there, ever!!!

Here is why,

Take your shit to the track and learn how to do it right where the chances of you hurting someone else or yourself is mitigated by the controlled environment, learning atmosphere and EMS standing by!

Sorry but I have to go practice my wheelies now.

Jethro out.

 

On the other hand . . . . .
