VFR750 | KEEPING UP WITH THE BIG BOYS 

Keeping up with the big boys. As if that's an accomplishment on a Viffer. Remember that bike has racing DNA . Superbike pedigree.

What's not to love?... Me, 1990 and 1991 VFR750F's. One has white "shoes", the other gold "shoes"... the girls are sweet! Was lucky to find a red tinted wind screen in the EU as we only had the clear ones here in the U.S. Left side Kerker exhaust, braided lines, bobbed rear fender, inboard turn and brake signals (they were not allowed in the U.S. when first sold), K&N air filter, jetted and worked carbs for even more lower end power and pull, rear set cowl, replaced the original "condom" rear view mirrors with the nice/clean next-gen mirrors. These VFR's are 30+ years old design and tech... they are truly timeless! Bullet proof V4, gear drive cams, nothing else sounds like them... and who doesn't love the Red?

What a neat dog!

Nice ride. The VFR is such a good machine. Well done.

Great Pov. Makes me want to go out now. Definitely tomorrow. From freezing today to 13c tomorrow ☕🏍️

VFR lookin and soundin great.

Sounds like she's been well treated, definitely a great feeling when you've had a lot of fancy new bits added :) I say it every time but that VFR awesome sounds bloody amazing :D Great ride mate, some pretty decent roads to put the bike through it's paces :) Stay safe bud.

Just the intro itself made me subcribe, and of course, because of the VFR750.

Baffles in or baffles out that bike sounds and looks the business, great ride out mate. Today is no uniform day at work so I'm sporting my Lochwood92 t-shirt 🤩👍

I changed the hub bearings on my 2001 vfr as I thought they were making noise. 35,000 miles, afterwards I really don't think they needed changing. Had Michelin road pilot 5 tires and after they wear down half way they were making a noise as I see others say the same. OH well I now know my bearings are good. I put ABM straight bar on, very comfortable. Givi windscreen with x-tra on really good wind protection. 520 conversion chain 2 up rear sprocket really wakes her up. People say it's heavy, I've never felt it was once your rolling handles just fine. I could cruise 130 all gay and very stable.

I do that same route a lot . Very good wee run. Bike sounds great!

Sweet ride mate, she's sounding good Bloody love the sound of that bike

Well that was the wise thing to do. If you have her in the garage you might as well do it all. Unless it's your only bike then that is a different story. Good video man!!

For a change I can say I have done that route (well the first 9 mins) only in the other direction :P Largs looked very busy - last time I was there it was dead. Good to see you back on the VFR

Great vid, made me smile!

I recognise that road climbing up outta Largs. Goes past that recycling centre where that numpty pulled out in front of me.🤦‍♂️ And you took the same route back to Kilwilling that we did, great little bit of road that B784, shame it's not longer. The old girl did good there didn't she.

The VFR did well keeping up with those more modern bikes, glad she's running well with the new bearings. I'm not sure about the sound with the baffle out, as you say there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference. To me I think there's a roughness there that wasn't there before 🤔 Pleased your getting out, the weather's been pants here for nearly two weeks.

Crikey that first road was busy. Note to self you don't need backing musak with this bike, V4 can hold it's own singing solo. The baffle out with my Delkevic 350mm oval can makes the engine just sound freer and makes it sound marginally louder at idle and lower revs, but it's when you nail it you realise it is quite a bit louder without the baffle, but in a good way. Sometimes I ride with the baffle in sometimes out depends how I am feeling. I can't remember have you got std spec suspension on yours or did you treat it to an upgrade?

VFR = Very Frickin Radical!!! 👍😎 I've not sneaked down to Largs Vegas in ages & the last time I was there, I went to do that "TRUMP CHALLENGE" of yours & then realised I'd left the card in my work! 😂👍

Awesome drive! Just need to wait one more month for my last license test, but the rc36II is already waiting to be driven in the garage!!

Thought you were speaking German at first 😂

Pops and bangs are great 🏍🤣.

Did my first track day on one of these in Repsol livery did I look the part or what ?? If a better rider than me had been on it trust me it would out do most Even little old me was not left behind and I was 60 at the time Now at 70 time to have another go AND I WILL !!!

I`m nothing special as a rider. I have done somewhere over 1 million miles though so I`ve some idea what to do. Back in the mid 90`s to 04 I was a long distance courier based in the East Midlands. Although not the ideal courier bike I rode a VFR FG for something over 230,000 miles during the later years of my 1200 to 1500 miles per week average. Two things that stand out in my memory, it was all day comfortable. Occasionally I would do massive milage in a day, 600+ even in poor weather and my bike really was all day comfortable. The other thing that really stood out was just how easy it was to ride at any speed and made an average Joe like me seem like a bit of a track day hero. I`ve had and still ride more modern and more powerful bikes but I`d suggest a VFR doing a 400 mile ride cross country including urban and rural would still be hard to keep up with.

6:53 Good video, this part was extra good…

Looking at the rev, you did never go on limit

Good filmiing. i have the same bike in white.

I'm not mechanically minded but your bike sounds great

Wheel bearings seem fine to me!

Looks like a great bike you got there. What year is yours? I'm dreaming about getting my license some day. Have an old VFR that I got after my dad passed away some years back. I guess it will take some effort getting it back on the road since it's been sitting for quite some time. White coloured Vfr 750,1986 model.

Inline-4 > V4 You can see that their extended rev range would GAP you by the way they pulled away as you hit max revs, they just didn't have the opportunity due to road conditions and being modest riders.

Ruddy hooligans.

Gawd you don't like using your gearbox !

If everyone is following the posted speed limit, it would be easy to keep up. ;)

This is one of the reasons I don't do group rides. Constantly trying to keep up with the self appointed leader who is inevitably a beta-male compensating. No fun at all.
