Thoughts on the VFR800?

[Tyler.M]

They're great bikes - but, dont really add anything over the earlier non-vtec 800cc models, so given the choice I'd take the earlier bike.

They DO add something: A stupid maintenance procedure.

Get a non-vtec. Also, how much is your goddam tax return, bruh?

Valve adjustments are a bitch and when the vtec kicks in (yo) I heard it can be pretty jarring. All good considerations. I'm not sure how comfortable I am getting a gen 5 considering the newest will be 15 years old now... Idk. more research is required. I have awhile 'til I'm itching to ride again.

In regards to tax return: I sold two bikes and a car all for a profit. (Most)of my tax return is going into my investments 8-)

Aren't the earlier bikes carb'd? FI is a must.

5th gen are FI.

:mrgreen: thank you sir. I assumed bike from the 90's equals carbs.
