Riding the big ole VFR1200F following my buddy riding his CBR1000RR. This section was Angeles Forest Hwy going North starting at Big Tujunga Canyon, really nice road!
Nice clip shows just how smooth and agile the vfr1200 is stay safe to film another day enjoy your bike friend , think this film has convinced me to buy one 😊
Not bad Magnus for first ride; had me sweating the decreasing radiuser at 4:42. Practice will make your lines cleaner; I would dial back the pace to about 70% on these sweepers to take screwups by other bikes and cars into account.
Great video and thanks for sharing. I have a vfr1200 2012 and I would like to ask you where and how have you mount your action camera. I am asking because your video is without vibrations. Thank you.
The mount is a GoPro tank bracket: ebayitem.com/252599829418 and the camera I used on this ride was just an inexpensive Samsung HMX-F90. Since then I've gotten a GoPro Hero4 Silver which has much higher resolution and less vibration. I used the GoPro on my Laguna Seca video.
These speeds are a little out of your comfort zone, slow down or take it to the track. 4:39 scared the crap out of me. Send a thank you letter to Honda!
Those who have a VFR1200F would know that is fairly easy to overcook the corner on them , as they are so smooth , and are giving you a false feeling that you are not going that fast ( until you look at the speedo ). And this corner is really turning in a bit sharper, so easy to miss judge .....But thank you Honda anyway....
Well it's not really about being a prick... His driving is not that good so he better slow down and learn the lines before he hurts himself is all i'm saying. But you, I can be a prick to you if you insist.
Sucks I don't have many roads like that here in texas, but some friendly advice take the apex a little better... Start wide and then move in. I have a Z1000, Sprint ST, and a VFR 800... getting ready to trade the first two for a truck and the VFR800 for a 1200F... It's taken me a long time to finally warm up to the 1200F
