Check out M&M Motorsports in Westmont. 630-769-3006 I broke down nearby and they helped me get going again.
I used to have a 2013 CBR500R. The clutch on that bike was much easier to pull. My left hand did hurt when riding my 2015 VFR800. I added grip...
Hey rbatzell, I'm in the western burbs. I feel your pain on the Chicago roads, but it's better than not riding! Congrats on the baby!
Mountainside, Sorry about your accident and hope you are better soon. I would definitely be interested in the cases. I have a white 2015. I'm in...
My father's nickname was Blitz, so I am Blitz Jr. Here he is with mom, about 1948 or so. I always say I don't know much about the bike, but I know...
Hey Wiggie, Sorry to go off topic, but I hope you did okay in the storm. I used to have family in Mary Esther, and spent some summers there as a...
You are wise to not have her learn on the VFR. My son was all signed up to take the basic riding class this spring and then all of the classes...
Nice! My brother had a red one, and my friend had a gold one. There were a couple of summers where we did nothing but ride those bikes. We bent...
Hello Cam, Good luck with the bike. If you see a white 8th gen in the western burbs, it's probably me. So glad it's finally warming up. Blitz
I don't care much when people say stuff like that, but it really pisses me off when they say stuff to my wife. Some guy she worked with told her...
Sorry your bike was stolen. It's sad, but your new one looks great! Hope the weather stays good for a while in Chicago. I'm in the western burbs.
I always thought the VFR would be a tough bike to learn on. (At least that's what I tell anyone who wants to try my bike.) It sounds like you are...
Hi Brandon, As far as tips and advice, it would help to know a little more. Do you have any riding experience other than the MSF course? Are you...
Hey Brandon, good to see someone else from Chicago. I'm in Elmhurst. I rode as kid, but then took a really long break and started again 5 or 6...
I don't ride much at night. I'm too lazy to change my face shield from tinted to clear, and I don't ride if I have a couple, which is usually...
This is a problem, but not so much on the VFR as on my CBR500R. The VFR is much better. There must be more metal on the VFR. As Keager said above,...
Make sure the bike is in neutral. (I tried it when it was in gear and it doesn't work.) I'm 60 years old and not very strong, and I can do it....
Do not show this to my wife!
Like you, I came from the 500R, which is a more upright bike. My biggest problem when I first started on the VFR was my hands, not only because of...
Hey Headshrink! I remember you from the 500 forum. I traded my 500R for a 2015 white deluxe with about 2000 miles on it last June. I went in for...
