Stumbled across some nice high res pictures of the 8th gen's header. Very interesting design. It is a stark contrast to the 5th and 6th gens, as the front 2 pipes merge and the rear 2 pipes merge, before hitting the cat. Also worth mentioning is the single o2 sensor right before the cat, as opposed to the 5th/6th gens two o2 sensors. You can zoom way in on them here on their ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Honda-VFR800F-Interceptor-Exhaust-Header-Pipe-Manifold-18150-MJM-D00-/232031761742?hash=item36062bb54e:g:oqAAAOSwdzVXm5tR&vxp=mtr

A two-pronged post: 1. Who's going to the race at Circuit of the Americas this year? I bought my tickets months ago. 2. I figure the bike is going with me no matter whether I ride it from DFW or trailer it - which means while I'm "down there" I might as well hit the Three Sisters since it's been a few years. Thinking of riding Monday and coming home Tuesday. Anybody going and want to meet up, and/or if you will have a bike, make a longer weekend of it?

I previously owned a 2007 VFR and I am thinking about possibly picking up a new leftover 2014 VFR800. Today I visited my (somewhat) local Honda dealer so that I could see an 8th-gen in person. The dealer had the bikes packed in like sardines, so it made it difficult to look at and sit on bikes. Also, I am only interested in the red model and they only had white. This is my brief opinion of the 8th-gen VFR given the above conditions. -Fit and finish on the bike seem very good -Sitting on the bike, the seat felt kind of thin (I don't remember if the 6th-gen felt that way) -The reach to the handle bars does feel farther than I remember (I would probably opt for risers) -I left feeling neutral about the bike. I didn't feel like "wow this is awesome". It was a nice bike though. -Would I buy one? If I could find a good deal, maybe. I still browse the used 6th-gen classifieds. Does anyone live near the bay area in California that owns an 8th-gen that I could take a look at?

After sitting idle for several weeks I threw in the recharged battery and took my VFR for a spin around Victoria. It was a nice, bright afternoon but with temps hovering around the freezing mark I didn't stray far from home. I found this view of Mt Baker from Cattle Point and manhandled the VFR a few yards down a footpath for the shot. Yep, it was chilly:
