Honda VFR 1200

Has anybody on LB got one of these? If so what do you think of it? Whats it like on fuel?

no.
sh1t.
poor.
hope that helps :smiley:

Crap and crap, dont have one as Im not a lardy bloke with more funds than sense.:smiley:

they are as quick as fukc though even with a lardy arse bloke on them.:smiley: and they got a big seat for mrs rosso to do her knitting on, and lugage to put her knitting in, and a can of fuel for those asbo days(60 mile fill ups)

vfr 800 was nice but not as smooth or quick.

Auto gearbox too, very tempting in about 10 years time for me! :wink:

the auto gear box is not an auto gear box though, in sport mode it becomes a flappy paddle gear box, quiker than a normal gear box. I tried a normal one with a clutch though.

have you tried one aswell:w00t:

I’ve heard they are nice bikes, I’m not sure what they were thinking when they designed the exhaust though!

its a HONDA. its gotta be good!

I had a test ride for 1.5 hours and liked it apart from a rather key component : the engine.I just couldn’t like with the vibrations all the time. True it’s a characteristic of it but it’s not for me.

Oh and when you do a side by side comparison I think my choice looks a lot better despite it’s age :wink:

test rode one and unimpressed, far too dear for what it is, not got the tank range or the get up n go of a Blackbird so wont be trading mine in for one :slight_smile:

Have to say that the Blackbird is the looker of the two. The VFR just looks really ugly.

Yeah I think I’d choose the Blackbird, plus you’ll get one much cheaper…

.

ooooh what a nice pair…:smiley:

pm Rixxy - He liked his.

exactly the same scheme as the one i laid the deposit on fella if i dont work out i’ll be on the phone :smiley:

didn’t rixxy have the 800?

Yeah, same as me.
