As far as I can think, ALL VFs were milled, so no half-moons. I've not thought deeply about that, but no VF comes to mind with line bored heads....
Ah, but ignoring ride heights and shock lengths, could you get a VF1000[F|R] motor into an RC24?
I've been studying pictures of an '85 and an '85/'86 engine and I have to conclude that the later head is indeed slightly wider at the top....
A bit of thread mixing, but all interesting stuff. As I said in the other thread about this we're following, the heads did change for '85, with...
Indeed, but the wheel change and many other significant changes took place at the normal 2 years, yet the shock was changed after just the one...
Another zombie thread alert for those who like to raise them. But... As has been stated there is a LOT of TOTALLY incorrect information posted in...
The first VF1000R we got in the UK was I think in '84 and that was gear driven cams. To the best of my knowledge ALL VF1000Rs had gear driven...
Can you point me to information about a VF1000R with chain driven cams. I am unaware of that one.
Well, thank you for that. As you point out, it appears there was a change after one year, that then continued for the next 3. So for the first...
Well if you say so, but I'd be very surprised. Changes of that magnitude are not incorporated at the 1 year mark. Unfortunately I was no longer...
There is still some confusion around this and although I cannot be definitive about the changes, having worked for Honda UK, I can comment on...
I have to take issue with this. There are many reasons why someone may want a SSS/A, some of which will undoubtedly involve looks and style,...
Great thread and of current interest to me. But might I suggest a Ducati wheel? 916 and some other models use an offset about 2.5mm larger than...
I'm with you there 100%. Well apart from a love of carbs, but I think you were joking about that?
Well I didn't actually say you were. I was though as I read the same journalist who complained bitterly about the 180 mile tank range of the...
With respect, it's just the modern philosophy and nothing to do with any boards being made in China. It makes financial sense for the...
Now that would be something. They did consider it, but once the V5 was outlawed in MotoGP, there was no chance of it ever seeing the light of day....
I simply don't see it like that. The VFR1200F can do way more miles on a tank than probably any Ducati, but no-one moans about tank range on a...
Much as I like the VFR1200 (well, my version anyway) I don't see that as a solution for the OP. Loads of power, but it is heavy compared to the...
Ah, shaft drive, yes I wasn't thinking about that. Are all 1100s shaft? I rather think they are. My comment comparing the engines was that the...
