e30dean Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Over the last 10 years I have owned and ridden a lot of different bikes. Everything from cruisers, bobbers, cafe, sport, naked and supermoto in a variety of different sizes and speeds. I must say that hands down the vfr800 has become the #1 bike for me. I love the combination of hp and torque that the bike delivers along with its comfort and looks. I know that the vfr will forever hold a spot in my garage whether its my 6th generation or the 8th generation one sometime in the future. I would only consider adding on other bikes. I am glad to have this bike as a part of my life and to be a part of this vfr community. I already had an intro and build thread started but I really had to say how happy I am with this bike.

Motographer Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Great bike, and I agree 100% with everything you wrote. I almost spent the money I got for my 5th-gen on a down payment for a Yamaha FJ-09, but had a last-second change of heart when I found my RWB. IMO the VFR is the best all-around street bike ever made, and I'm glad I stuck with it. I already have JD's suspension on order :D. One question though, what phone/GPS mount is that?

e30dean Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I bought the phone holder off of ebay but I couldnt find a good way to mount it to the bars. So what I did was remove the bar clamp portion (just one screw) and then bolted it into the plastic cap on the steering stem nut. Took all of 5 min to do it. I havent tried it with my phone yet because I still want to run a head phone plug under the tank so that I could have my music and phone hooked up. Just a cheaper option than buying a bluetooth.

Motographer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I use a Sena SMH10R and can't imagine going back to headphones. With good earplugs, music and directions come through loud and clear, and the wind noise is mostly blocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
