Popular Post VFR80025th Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 Hi, I put together a poster that I want to mount in my home office. Thanks to Terry for posting the PDFs so I was able to assemble it using the PDFs he uploaded. I will attach it for anyone who wants to do the same. Print it out and have it mounted etc. Thxs VFR Poster.pdf 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Wald Posted January 18 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18 This is cool, thank you. Now, I will have to find a printer to print it in a larger size than a standard paper sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used VistaPrint to do posters. I'm sure there are plenty of other online places. A lot of local places can do it now too like UPS stores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Grum Posted January 18 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18 Many Thanks VFR80025th and Terry. A large print in the garage is going to look great. Picture size of the file looks like it will match nicely to A2 format = 594mm X 420mm Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted January 19 Member Contributer Share Posted January 19 Excellent work, thank you. I'd love to hang one on the wall of my garage too but it doesn't include the VFR800X. I know it was never sold in the US but there are plenty of owners outside the US. Such a shame to have an incomplete picture, any chance of including it?

Sweeper Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Put it over the VTR pic as it is more of a VFR than the VTR was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted January 19 Member Contributer Share Posted January 19 It is a bit of a venn diagram. Not every Interceptor is a VFR, and not every VFR is an Interceptor. Also, a VF and VTR can be an Interceptor, but they're not a VFR. A VF can also not be a VFR or Interceptor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted January 19 Member Contributer Share Posted January 19 Intercepter being a US designation, I don't think any other country used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted January 19 Member Contributer Share Posted January 19 My point was that VFR800X IS a VFR, the clue being in the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix655 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I had a VTR250, it was an awesome little runabout bike and surprisingly fast. Was not meant for a 6' rider though 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tireguy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Very COOL! Thanks to the OP for making this available. I'm gonna take the file to STAPLES to have printed out on high quality poster size paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted January 19 Member Contributer Share Posted January 19 Also very cool that it mentions my favorite racer from the early/mid '80's, Mike Baldwin. Mike was a top AMA Superbike racer, international gp racer, Honda Interceptor racer...and he was from New England, where I mostly grew up. Saw him race many times at Loudon and Pocono, as well as the 1988 Laguna Seca gp, always on a Honda. Probably one of the reasons I bought my first VFR, er, VF, er, I mean Interceptor... 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfrgiving Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'm not trying to rain on VFR80025th's parade, but since we're talking printing off VFR history stuff this seemed a good place. I'm not sure how many visit the other site, but a while ago I posted a vectorized version of the 5th gen engine cutaway illustration from the Honda service manual. Vector files are great because they can be scaled to any size without loss in quality, something normal raster images can't do. I later followed this by colorizing the cam gear train. The attached .zip files will be the vector file and high resolution images for the cam gear train so don't bother with the low quality images inserted into this post. vfr - black - red.zip vfr - white -red.zip VectorFR.zip 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tireguy Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Another great poster for the shop! I took the pdf file VFR History poster to STAPLES to have it printed out on a 20x30 high gloss poster grade paper, much thicker stock than normal paper. It came out all right, definitely lose some sharpness at 20x30, especially in the text area, but still a very good poster. The cost was $35USD for one, $31 each if you have two printed.

Member Contributer Philois1984 Posted January 24 Member Contributer Share Posted January 24 Thanks VFR80025th and Terry, got this done this morning, A1 size and laminated. Came out great. Cost $38.50 at Officeworks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted January 26 Member Contributer Share Posted January 26 Followed Philois1984's idea and had the same job done by Officeworks, really happy with the results especially for a garage pic. Not far off 100,000k's of faultless smile inducing riding with the 8gen, definitely the best of the four VFR's I've owned, by a long shot. Thanks again to VFR80025th and Terry for the poster arrangement. Cheers All. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR80025th Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Grum, the poster looks great and your VFR with almost 100,000k looks amazing. Well done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
