    5000km service interval WTF?

    2000km? WTF. Do you have shares in BP or Texaco? The bike and the oil is designed to last 8000miles, that's why it costs so much. I just had the...

    Hello, Honda Demo Days in July and I just bought a DCT

    Congratulations, you won't look back! I find it strange that you can't get a test ride there. Over here in the UK there was a dealer support...

    Just Bought My New 2010 VFR1200 DCT - Very Dissatified (Also posted at VFRD Discussions)
