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.

Hahahaha yea. Funniest part about that is my mom and sister own two horses between them.

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?

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.

Hey, RideYourRide, I've seen a lot of your VFR from the back recently...(been watching Nalian's videos!!!

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

Line of sight is important. You won't see me barreling around people mid corner.
