Another F or VFR
 

my bike was stolen i had an F3 that i did the body conversion to and it came out unbelieveable
so now i have the oppurtunity to get a new bike and i seen the 2003 vfr only thing is the specs make me think its slower than the 600 and feels like a fat ass im hoping some1 will tell me im right
or
to buy the bike because its overall a better honda thanks

those bikes are heavier, but do have more power and torque than the f3, plus you get to enjoy the sound of a v4 ;)
if you can get it for a decent price id go for it.

i feel weak asking this whats a v4
and i hear the wizzz whats that about ?
i figured it was some kind of intake thing that adds speed, like a vortex sound

the v4 is the configuration of the motor, like a v6 or v8.
as for the "wizzz" not sure, my last bike was an old honda v4 and not sure what thats about lol, but just to throw some numbers at you, the 2003 vfr has 4 more HP and 10 more ft/lbs of torque than the f3

thanks im gonna do a little more research but every1 uses the word bulletproof other than the R/R burning out
and ive found that the R1 R/R is the answer to that problem

The wizz you speak of is because unlike the cbr models the vfr are timing is run by gear instead of belt or chain. To the wizz you hear is the timing gears. This is the same for the vfr's and the rc models. All the rc and vfr motors are rock solid and make amazing torques and like stated before they sound amazing.

As for which one, get one of each.

The yellow bike is my 95 vfr 750 but it has 03 cbr fairings and f4i tail section.

decisions decisions
 

The whizz sound was what got me interested
ok so i dont know if you read the beginning of my post
but my bike was stolen
basically i love to ride and im trying to decide if VFR is the way i wanna go 99 vfr 800

i kno that its a sport touring i dont race i pull away from the a**hole New York drivers and stay in the front ... but thats any bike

im looking for reliable and i kno hondas are other than the R/R
its also winter so i have time to work on things .... i took a hit loosing this bike

i dunno the knifes already in how much twisting is involved
if you get me

im terrified to do this with a bike thats over 150 lbs my last 1

The VFR is at the sporty end of sport touring bikes. I wouldn't hesitate to take it to a track day, but it's certainly not a race replica like the CBR.

It is a lot roomier than a CBR, so if you do long days or multiday trips you might appreciate the comfort. If you do any two-up riding, your passenger will definitely appreciate it. The 2003 had the VTEC system, with two intake valves per cylinder, one of which is closed at low-RPM operation. This is supposed to smooth out the torque profile, but it makes the engine more complex and harder to work on.

just dont run out of gas :D

but if youre really interested in one, then find one to test ride, best way to get to know a bike.
