265 + a wife on the back, it could do it but it wouldnt be too roomy or have much power with that weight. The suspension would probably feel...
I think you'll find by lowering the pegs the shifter will feel too high. Do a search on "buell pegs" and "lowering blocks". If you just want a...
What confusion? it's not endless. Go here to order the chain/sprockets - about $200, enter the Honda tool # I gave above in the search function...
From your list I'd stick with your '99. Why would you want to go from FI to carbs? If you're just wanting a change, change big and try a new Busa.
I paid $770 delivered for my Penske, yeah it was expensive. To redo my stock shock w/ spring and valves would have been about half that with...
Honda also recommends oil changes at what, 7500 miles? some things in the aftermarket are vastly superior to Honda parts - try a Sargent seat and...
According to my Clymer manual, our 5th gen uses a chain with a staked master link. Using a Honda replacement, you will need a Honda drive chain...
I'd get saddlebags for my 5th if any existed that didn't look horrible. I went with a 39 liter Givi trunk, it actually doesnt look near as bad as...
The only reasons you should need to replace your chain and or sprockets at 15k are: 1) you did a really bad job keeping the chain lubed, or 2)...
http://www.mccruise.com/shop/cart.php You weren't expecting it to be cheap, were you?
The VFR didnt offer ABS until 2002 - please explain how you added it...
Quite interesting article. MCN isnt like your typical bike rag - absolutely no ads, and each edition costs $7.00. They compared the FJR, ST1300...
1998+ are fuel injected. I'd buy the '00 cause it has the fewest miles, and I could be wrong but I've read the rectifier probs were fixed this year.
Damn, you talk like your in your 70's or 80's. These days 57 isnt considered old at all, and I'm totally jealous you are already retired. Me,...
Wow, 2,400 miles in 4 days. I know guys who do that and more on race replicas, and I've met guys that have done that and more on Harleys, it just...
You asked for opinions... what you basically have is a 56,000 mile bike with a repaint and replaced engine. I'd say for this time of year...
Sorry, I thought you had a VFR not shopping for one. I'd stick with something more powerful if that is a main concern.
Honda stopped trying to "develope" the v4 sport bike engine in 1998, noone else has tried. The VFR is more than peak hp numbers. If you're...
Although a little heavy, the VFR is still a sport bike. Try a FJR and you'll quickly feel the difference, it just handles like the big, heavy...
I bought my '00 last year about this time with 7200 miles for less than 4 grand. Try Craigslist.
