    Don't know don't care I heard the video and it sounds like shit much worse than stock

    Not much to say I think it normally opens around 5k rpm so that feels no different so far but I am still babying her.

    ^^^ Yeah, same chimney, but your link doesn't sound as good as the demo I heard. The demo had been completely dyno tuned with a PCV, so it probably has something to do with the correct mixtures. It also sounds as if the can in the youtube clip was just installed and has not had a chance to break-in the packing. I bet that bike sounds a lot better in 500 miles.

    I agree about the two stroke. I thought it was dead ringer for my Stihl 026 chainsaw!

    The more I see & hear about this bike, the more I think Honda should be freaking ashamed of itself. I guess not all is lost, given their past track record, I guess we only have to wait about 5 - 7 years until they redesign it.

    KC-10 FE out...

    Aside from having to comply with Federal standards with a quiet exhaust I can find nothing wrong with the VFR1200F I love mine and would not trade it for anything.

    I mean no offense to you or any other 7th Gen owner. I really don't have anything good to say about the bike & I apologize for adding my $0.02 to this thread.

    Yeah, seriously..... Don't judge until you ride one. I know it's either love it / hate it as far as the appearence goes but I doubt there are few that won't love it after a ride!
