    VFR1200DCT how do you use your shift settings?

    D is good for city traffic and commuting, though I mostly accelerate too hard so the computer often stays in the lower gear too long under these...

    Any interest in a performance parts supplier that provides tested parts combinations

    Removing the 1st/2nd/6th gear restrictions on the DCT would be great.

    7th Generation needs to be re-labelled as 1st generation 1200

    Getting other clothes doesn't make the 800 a new gen for me. I think it's still 6th and the 1200 7th is completely ok.

    Ground Clearance

    Last Sunday I scratched her by leaving the road for a dirt parking lot. The step was a bit too high for her long wheelbase it seems. On the right...

    Ground Clearance

    1.76m and 84kg including gear here. Pegs touch down before the tire is on the edge, but not in every day riding. I'm having more problems with...

    You guys use your rear brake much?

    Bullshit. If you really think so, you should practice braking. Well "need"... you only "need" it, when you want to achieve full braking power....

    You guys use your rear brake much?

    @Randy I'd sugest not to panic. However, the bad habit is not using both brakes to maximum effort so I can't understand why you agree with tyaro....

    You guys use your rear brake much?

    Overuse? Lock up? Won't ever happen. (And IF it was possible to happen, braking uphill would be one of the least likely situations.) On the other...

    You guys use your rear brake much?

    I'm always using both brakes. However, rear lasts three times as long as front. I'm actively trying to use the rear brake more, but have to stomp...

    I Think Some Enthusiasts Have Missed the Intent.

    I Think Some Enthusiasts Have Missed the Intent.

    I learned on a Varadero 125, CBF 600, VFR 800 (RC46/2) and ZZR-1400 all across middle Europe before I bought the VFR 1200. Dunno if that qualifies...

    I Think Some Enthusiasts Have Missed the Intent.

    Well I do. 37km one way commute every day, 2000km trip the one or other weekend, and some sundays I go the 100km/half an hour to the inofficial...

    Premium Fuel, Really ?

    Here we can choose between Super E10, Super 95, Super+ 98 and Premium 100+. Super+ 98 is advised for the VFR, so why should I take anything...

    About the Range Issue...

    I'd say since she's between a sportbike and a tourer, the range should be (at least) between them as well. However there's no real reason for the...
