I don't like the new VFR as much now that they've gotten rid of the gear drive cams and gone to vtec, which I think it's pointless.
Yep pretty pointless, vtech definitely isn't going to help you if you run over horse dodo in the road. How inconsiderate of those horse riders. :D

I wouldn't want those old VTEC models either and I'm itchin for a new bike. The newer VFR's are much more refined and VTEC kicks in at a much better RPM... I'll take the Brit's word for it in their review.

Who wants a 2001 Vulcan 500?
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

Ride a 5th gen (98-01) before you throw the cash for a VTEC bike. Gear drive howl and no vtec in sight. You can pick them up in good condition under 5k all day long.

I like the new VFRs headlights, they're massive and are highly visible. The same goes for the tail section with the cool undertail 4 hole exhaust and bright big tail light, I'm not into the minimalistic lighting on many bikes coming out.

Hahahaha, cool. That was a fun day out and a good time. I think I did about 250 miles that day, Nalian more like 350.

As you probably saw from the pictures last page, we were riding yesterday as well. I did vlogs first while riding her 650r, then on my bike. Pretty funny, check them out if you'd like.

I would probably actually go look up what a 98-01 looks like if I were you. I assure you, lots of light.

I never said I was a saint :wink: Line of sight is important. You won't see me barreling around people mid corner.
