VFR80025th Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 This thing never gets boring to look at. I am considering adding a Cb1000r to the stable with a quarter fairing. Wheels will go to white of course. What do you guys think? It does have prequisite SS swing arm ala VFR. Ride safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Great looking bikes. The VFR, well of course I'm biased. While I love my Italian Red 6th gen, I've always appreciated the looks of the RWB bike. And that naked CB, what a terrific looking bike. It looks kind of muscular and raw. Me? I'd be inclined to leave the wheels black, or go to silver to match the side pieces. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstehman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 You're not selling the VFR are you? The CB looks nice. And I bet maintenance is easier without the fairings and Vtec valve checks.. double radiators, wiring issues etcI don't see a centerstand.. so you would have to grab a rear SSSA stand .I say go for it!

VFR80025th Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Yes, the VFR has been my favorite bike I have ever owned. I've owned it for 4 years and have been looking for a new bike for 1yr but I cant seem to find a bike to replace it. CB1000r is a close but I have to buy the fairing and paint the wheels right off the bat. Still on the fence. I do have a second choice: Katana 1000 but there I have to replace the bars, too high for me and a tail tidy right off the bat (Also for CB) Both also do not have a center stand. I Will keep u posted if I pull the trigger but I am a methodical buyer. I take things slow and calculated. LOL Ride safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I've been in kind of the same boat for years. I love my VFR, and I've owned it a long time. I've looked at other bikes for years for a possible replacement, but only a few are really potential replacement bikes. I almost bought something else over the winter, and at times I wish I had. But I've put 1,000 miles on my VFR in just over the last week, and I still love it. Until the right deal comes along for its replacement, I'll just keep riding my VFR.

Styled like the 1979 CB900F, though it would look really hot in the CB1100F colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstehman Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 They should stuff a V4 in that 1100f.. kinda like a revamped V65 Sabre but prettier Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 80s Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Really, more from the 1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also changed the decal design and pulled it back onto the side of the tank only (the '81's wrapped around the corner onto the 'front' of the tank if you will).
