Thread: One for the Honda V fans

Some sort of 400. Not really sure if it started as a VFR, RVF or RC though. Pretty trick now and he rides the snot out of it. Though at Road Atlanta I MIGHT be able to keep up due to the back straight advantage (otherwise it is game over)

He is a very good rider, and besides the high cornering speeds he is also haulin' ass on the straights, reeling bigger bikes in - That's one aggressive 400.

Yep I have picked up a ton from him. He used to have an RC but now is a huge fan of the little bikes (which do look fun to race I admit). I already knew he was MUCH faster but we were talking gearing at Barber on the RC and I was even more humbled. I run a 15-42 and never hit 6th, he said he ran a 15-40 and was hitting redline in 6th . He said he had scared himself a couple of times at that. I would have needed to buy new leathers if I had since there would be no cleaning them.

He also helped me on a couple of setup items and mentioned my BT003 was going off. Mentioned a couple of handling things and their feedback that I was able to notice in the practices also. Of course in the section practice when I come up over turn #4 at Barber at WOT and the bike unloads a bit with the back end stepping out about 4 inches in a nice slide for a bit.... yep that tire was shot He didn't even get the I told you so out since I gave him credit to fast. ALWAYS listen to the number one plate guy as the information is likely good (well unless they are running your class)

Though that was a WERA race so while he is reeling folks in that is not real big bikes out there with him. My RC can pull him a bunch of lengths down that straight even with his better corner speeds onto the straight. Though he would get a bunch back at the end. Road Atlanta is very big bike friendly though with new turn 12 and 3 it is less so than it used to be (they might have made the track safer but they ruined the flow).

OMG I have been looking for a year for a VFR 400! Just bought another VFR750F but am ready to teach my wife and kids how to ride... anyone find or hear of one in the 4 g range IN the U.S. or canuck area.... please let me know...

I am obviously new here... I am usually on pnwriders.com, and vfrworld.com

Thanks and I'll be back to check in! KILLER VID

This is an old three page thread, and I never learned if either of the bikes actually sold. They wanted a bit more than 4K, though.
