VFR800 sound track from Phillip Island (Australia)

For those of you who like a VFR800 sound track, this is a clip from one of the track day sessions yesterday at Phillip Island. Speedo and tacho in the shot.



Some highlights; geese on the track at 1:40 and a dice with a CBR1000 starting at 14.00, he runs wide at 14:44. He could only get me on the straight.


VFR is a 99 model, performance mods:

· Power commander

· Air box mods

· BMC air filter

· Wilbers suspension front and read

· Brembo disk and pads

· Galfer braided lines

· Metzler M7 tires

· Staintune exhaust (no restrictor)


I had an aversion to scratching it, so not pushing as hard as you could. I was lapping around the 2:10 mark, best 2:07. To give a comparison I was sharing the garage with a 2016 BMW 1000RR, he had just bought it and got down to 2:03 at the end of the day and 275km/h down the straight vs my 210km/h (speedo has a HealTech SpeedoHealer on it, so it is accurate). More experienced riders on the same BWM’s on slicks were around 1:53. So not bad for a 21 year old bike on road tires.

 

Nice! I'd be happy with that.

 

Here is another clip from 9 March 2020

 

Great soundtrack.

 

Little braking demo. Hitting the brakes at 150km/h at the 150m marker.

Brembo disks and pads, Galfer lines. Didn't end well for the BMW rider.
