I like how some of this sounds for us VFR800 VTEC owners:
"The mid range is massively better than the VFR800's thanks largely to reworked header pipes and inlet trumpets that are longer (20mm) and narrower (by 6.5mm) at their throats. The remapped VTEC is much, much better, too. Transformational. That feeling of fuel starvation at the transition point has gone completely."
I'm patiently waiting for some of these parts to become available (the intake trumpets, that delectable tailsection, maybe the header). It's nice that Honda is still doing some development work on our platform, even if it is in an upright, duck-billed, "adventure" version.

" Quite why they didn't do this to the VFR800 six, seven or eight years ago mystifies me, really."
That's the thing that kind of annoys me. I'll believe that they managed to improve the 6th gen engine. I mean, after 8 years you better find someway to make it better. If it's really that much different, why wouldn't they just release a 7th gen VFR800? Add a well priced option for helibars and it probably would have sold better than they were selling for the last few years.

Some bikes end up being a project. Yoshi manages to make it a career.
No no no. This is the precision toolboard. The hammer resides elsewhere.
