Weight loss and power increase

Yesterday, Honda Canada where in my town to let us try their bikes. I had a chance to ride the VFR and the CBR600F4i. Before trying them, I was convinced I would buy the smaller lighter and faster F4, but once I tried both, I've begun to like the VFR a lot more. There are a few things though I would love to change, and one of them is the weight. Does anyone have one that weighs less than 400 Lbs? I believe I can shave easily 20-30lbs by changing the exhaust system, removing the center stand and other things, but should anyone of you has done it, I would love to know what can be done. Also, can you disable (i.e. remove) the LBS? Also, can you increase the output but changing a chip, or doing other "quick" modifications?
Thanks to anyone I will take time to answer me,

Stéphane (future VFR owner)

 

Stephane,I do not have a VFR, but I do know a few things that I have read say that the stock exhaust is super heavy, (19.5 lbs.) and that is just the canisters! Also by "LBS" I assume you mean, linked brake system, and I do know that that is an option, and you do not have to purchase. It is about a $1000 option. As far as knocking wieght off the rest of the bike I have no idea.

 

Linked braking system is not an option......however ABS is. NON ABS VFR retails for $9999.....and the ABS version is $10999.

 

Remove stock exhaust, centerstand, replace rear fender with undertray and hugger, replace toolkit with Power Commander. Remove linked brakes and forks and replace with VTR forks and brakes

 

Linked braking system is not an option......however ABS is.


AH, I understand now. That makes snese. Thanks.
