is it possible

is it possible to get a knee down on a '98 VFR800??

 

Yep! Happens all the time.

 

Here ya go..

 

Thanks!

Yes that was a great day at Road America back in 2006 on a NESBA track day. One of the shots from this set made it into the VFR world calendar for 2007 thanks to all the voters I paid off, I mean encouraged.

 

I see you posted this in 2 sections, but is there a reason for wanting to get a knee down on a 98 VFR? Is it for track use or are you looking at getting a knee down on the street ? I know first hand that riding a bike on the street like you would on the track , most of the time you will get away with it but just a little gravel , twig , or rodent , can ruin your day very quickly (and your bank account)

 

It's possible. But it's the riders limitations not the bikes. Most squids can get a knee down...........along with an elbow, leg, chest etc when they crash.

 

I've had my knee down a few times on the street (mainly on/off-ramps), but I am 6'4" .. Have yet to take the VFR to NJMP, but I tend to get my knee's down in the corners there as well on other bikes.

 

Had my knee down on a Deauville before, frightened the shit outa me as I wasnt expecting to touch road, but as the man says its riders capabilites
