Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I had a '99 (some asshat took it while I was on my honeymoon) and I have a '08 now. I like the handing on the 08. It feels dependable and inspires trust. I dont care for the v-tec. If I could change one thing about the vfr it would be give me back my gear driven cam. -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jfviffer Posted August 2, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2008 Isn't 6th gen the longest production run out of any vfr gen? i guess thats the reason for the higher numbers strange why Honda only produced 5th gen for 3 yrs when its regarded as one of the best of the VFR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jfviffer Posted August 2, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2008 Wasn't meant to be a scientific poll, just trying to find out what we have & like to ride. I also heard that the 6th Gen didn't sell very well. that's why they are stopping production. I think that Honda only kept on making the 6th Gen to recoup production costs, while only making some small refinements along the way (no major changes over the last 6 to 7 years). Just my 2c. i didn't know they are stopping production. so is this the last year for VFR or is there a new gen in the works ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer alwaysaware Posted August 2, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2008 I ride the best year ever made "2008" VFR w/ abs. By the way its the best and quickest color as well. Did I mention that its quicksilver. 6th gen to answer the question and stay on topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris71mach1 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 wow, this poll is showing my poor 87 in the VAST minority of VFR's around here. admittedly, id love to get my hands on a 6th gen (the RWB or the maroon both just do it for me), but regardless of how many bikes i ever own, i dont think ill ever let my 87 go. it has way more personality than 90% of the bikes i see today, and a cool factor that you just cant find with any other bike (besides, the 1st gen VFR is my favorite way ive ever seen ANYBODY to tell HD to f*** off!)

Member Contributer ki-speed Posted August 28, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted August 28, 2008 Currently a 6th gen (2003) with 51,000 miles (55,000 after the next 3 week trip). Hopefully a 7th gen in the future.

Guest Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well, as an official "old guy" I truly love my VERY 1st gen 83 VF750F and 84 VF1000F's. However, that said I am on a mission to buy a brand new left over RWB 2007. Gonna sell off some of my old ones to finance the purchase, keep the 1000F/R project so I can have old and new in the garage and enough room to actually put my truck in there too! Currently have 7 bikes and tools, parts, compressor etc. in the 2 car garage so not much room for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Wheatie Posted September 2, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ok, gotta put in a vote for us ol' guys......... See Front Page, Image #3, the one on the left (next to Shaynej' rwb) We RWBs hang out a lot ! '86 700F :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Tom, you can fit at least 5 more bikes in that garage. Come on now. :fing02: OK, So I am a whiner. I still need to get the truck and a car in there when the snow flies. The real reason is that I just want a RWB VFR800 and we both know that nature abhors space in a garage and since you left with that roller frame.......... Gonna stop tomorrow and try and make a deal on a left over non ABS model. They also have an ABS model too, but I could use the extra $1000 for other stuff like food and house money or tools since Harbor Freight is soooooo close. :squid: Let you know more tomorrow night. :pissed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 So, a 1986 VFR700F2 would be considered what gen? Would it be considered first, or would it be considered second generation due to the earlier VFs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I own a '98, but can't ride it yet (at least, legally) because I have no plates; still awaiting KY state approval for my "rehabilitation" of a salvaged bike. This really sucks, because the bike was in perfect condition asides from scrapes, scratches and bodywork cracks, most of which I have repaired. It actually looks OK now, too.

Member Contributer bill220 Posted November 25, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 25, 2008 I bought my 5th Gen for a variety of reasons but would have purchased a 4th or 6th Gen bike if the right one had come along. I do like the gear driven cams and fuel injection, which were two reasons I went with a 5th Gen vs the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
