Member Contributer KevCarver Posted February 5, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 5, 2014 I you want to cheap out on the "Deluxe" version but still want the center stand, I'd bet any old 5th or 6th gen fleabay c stand will bolt right up.

SEBSPEED Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If they released a CBR (pure sports bike priced for the masses) with a 1000cc V4, I would either be very poor or very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akumu Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 hahahahahahha 1st you state-side biatch and moan that it will not come to your shores now it does and you biatch and moan about the price..... I'd say Honda only sell it to people who have the money to pay for it cash, instead of financing it..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pm4fQRl72k Shame on those fools for wanting something at a reasonable price! Shame! Not that I'm in the market for a bike, but if I was in the market for a V4 and not a sport touring/do-it-all bike, like the VFR, I'd laugh at Honda and RUN to Aprilia for a Tuono V4 or RSV4.

I'd say Honda only sell it to people who have the money to pay for it cash, instead of financing it..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pm4fQRl72k Cash is king when it comes to buying vehicles. While the 2014 vfr 800 looks fantastic my biggest question is have they improved the 6th gens surging, snatchy and abrupt fueling. If they have I can see paying in the neighborhood of what they are asking for the bike if I didn't already have a vfr. My '07 remains totally stock and the wacky fueling has become largely a non issue simply because I know the bike very well and how to ride around the fluffy injection. I've never had an electrical issue with mine, it remains smooth, doesn't use oil, cheap to insure...in other words it's a keeper. When I want an overly strong modern well suspended ride I just take the Bking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also financing terms of no money down, and no money in the future. If bikes only sold for cash, no financing, I suspect sales would plummet.

Member Contributer spinalator Posted February 6, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am old enough to remember reading about how Honda RUINED the VFR when they changed the 750 and added NACA ducts , they lost their minds when Honda gained weight, went from the 750 to the 800 (Klingon). Fast Forward to 2002, people went bananas when the VTEC came out, it was deemed to be SO fugly, origami, bug eyed, useless tech, etc etc. The 1200 is the buffalo, an overproced bike no one seemed to ask for or want, and now the new 800 is overpriced and a parts bin bike. The more things change, the more they stay the same... Dutchy, you hit the nail on the head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer motormike Posted February 6, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm excited to see it come to USA, although the timing and lack of marketing that Honda North America is doing doesn't make sense. The Motorcycle Shows have already started. I plan on test riding it this Spring. The Deluxe has some nice features that interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd love to do is catch a ride on PC equipped vfr to see what's what before throwing things into my bike. I've been neglecting the vfr as far as mods go ever since I got the suzuki bking. All the performance itches have scratched by that thing. Still it's high time I did something for my vfr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my 2006 set up nicely now, so I should be able to hold out. Then it will be the same dilemma the 5th gen owners faced when the 6th came out: Do I sell my 6th and buy an 8th--or do I keep both?

VFR4Lee Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 She asked me why the singers name was Alice. I said, Listen baby you really wouldn't understand. And I see from other videos that Frank Zappa helped Alice make his first record. So also, watch out where the Huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.

No worries, I know the Crux of the Buscuit is the Apostrophe! Back on topic - MV Agusta is coming out with an 800cc Sport Touring triple this year, should make for an interesting (and obvious) comparison test !
