The numbers aren't "statistics" ...you said you shift at 2k to "sneak up the block..." And the fact is, at 2000 rpm, when you upshift, you drop...
Hey, I'm not trying to tell you what to do ...ride your ride. But I've done some field testing of my own, and we'll just have to agree to...
Oh, ...it works!!! :) ...well, unless you have a DCT model, in which case, it does not.
As a crow flies ...I have no idea. For the route I took, it ended up being a shade over 3700 miles (New Jersey to Los Angeles). I actually did...
I'm getting misunderstood here. ...I'm not saying to ride any faster!!! The OP was talking about "upshifting" at 3k ...that means he is going...
Thanks for the comments guys, I've kinda' been off the grid. ...have a 3 week old boy at home now (which should explain my lack of participation...
On a VFR1200, if you're upshifting below 3k, you are lugging the engine! It's got the torque for it, but it's really not great for the engine to...
I'm not sure you typed what you meant, but you should't ever be shifting up at 3k! ...the bike isn't even making real power until 5k, shifting...
Ok, so January 23rd marked the 1 year anniversary of me buying the VFR1200, something I was thinking about Sunday as I was navigating the rippled,...
I'm with the "that's too much crowd" ...but then I do all my own work. Some people seem to think these things are the mechanical equivalent to...

I bought my bike last January at close to asking (I think I got OTD with full luggage for $15k) ...I'd do it all over again as the last 12,000...
I'll chime in that I LOVE my 2010 (as it is now). The 1st & 2nd gear thing was a big issue for me, but mine has been "fixed". Also, as a bigger...
The oil change is about as easy as it gets. You remove a 4 bolts, remove the belly fairing, and everything is right there (filter and drain plug...
Yes, my display reads 3rd until I make it up into 4th gear. I thought it would bother me, but it really doesn't; it's pretty obvious what gear...
No, I haven't switched maps. ...but since they mounted the switch on the bars, I have the option to have a 2nd map available. I honestly don't...
I don't know if the Z-Bomb will work with the DCT or not. Befbever, I don't know if it's the Z-Fi mapping, or the Z-Bomb, but one of those two...
Just an update. Part 1: Well, a truck from Bazzaz, with my bike in the back, showed up at my house Wed. afternoon. They are *still*...
You do have to remove the lower cowl, but no, you do not have to remove the (painted) fairings. I actually don't know too many sport bikes where...
lol ...I was actually surprised when I checked to find that a replacement side-panel was only $218. Not exactly cheap, but certainly not as...
