  1. I was told by my local ducat dealer the valve check is at 18,000 miles and a basic oil service at 9000 miles or 12 months in between. Argree with the vibrating mirrors and false neutrals
  2. Did the stoke egg run a couple of years ago but on a fireblade then. Rode out to llanberis yesterday dodging the welsh police all day.
  3. Just tried mine and no resistance noted. Just turn the key from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock and the cowl is realised. Good to see another vfr rider in sunny cheshire
  4. Agree that when I sat one at our bike show the plastics around the cockpit area looked made to a price. Will still test one though along with the new triumph triple and Z100sx, decisions, decisions.
  5. Was looking at possibly swoping the vfr for the new Ducati this year. However looking at recent reviews from Spain not quite sure on the looks. Bit of an ugly duckling compared to the vfr. That screen looks at bit of an after thought ?
  6. Cannot answer all your questions. Cover 250-300 miles in a day some solo and two up. No problems with stock bars and find seat comfortable for all day comfort. Never noticed clutch pull so mustn't be a problem for me but also have the quickshifter which makes for smooth changes. Stops any hand banging when two up. No issues to report with mine. 14,000 miles and just tyres changed.
  7. Always without. Love the pop and bangs on the overrun. For the price compared to akrapovic etc, I have been impressed with the quality, fuelling spot on and think its one of the best looking for the vfr.
  8. Snap same exhaust but in go faster red
  9. Disappointed with the Ducati super sport. Look like it's made to a budget. Didn't like the plastics around the dashboard. sticking with a V4
  10. Photo proof vfr is there

    Cleaned ready for Sunday blast
  12. It was a demo bike most people ride them like they've stolen them ? Might be worth the extended warranty
  13. If you try really hard you can just detect a tiny glitch at part throttle as the system can't decide which way to go. Otherwse it switches from soft, silent two-valve running to a harder-edged booming four valve delivery between 6000 -7000rpm like a hot knife through butter.
  14. Nice informative write up. Had a a delkivic end can on mine for past 12 months and pleased with the quality and sound ?
