Yes I fell for a hooligan bike. I'm a sucker . . . but my god was it a fun test drive. Totally different to the Sv. Can't wait too get it up the n52.

Will take a little bit of getting used to Brian, smooth inline 4 so its alot different from the V-Twin and the engine breaking. You will have to adjust your style with the gear changes and clutch. But you will be well able for it.....;)

Another great day out lads!

Went to look at a 02 VFR 800 lastnight, really tempted to sell the fz6 now.

Did you test drive it BLu3?

I was on a VFR800 V-Tec the weekend, absolute cracker of a bike. When the V-tec kicks in at 6,500rpm the grin it puts on your face is priceless. Even with the full luggage its a cracker of a bike. Deffo on the lookout for a 3-4 yr old one now put keeping the options open.

Is it the Silver one in Waterford? Beauty of a bike!

Thats not the one I looked at but I called about that, have my eye on that one granted I can sell the FZ6 before its gone.

Blu3 make sure you sort out a quote first....the bolloc.ks I am getting off insurance companies is not even funny. 35yr old, full un-restricted A , 2YR NCB & grade 2 assesment done and looking for €800 on a VFR 800...****IN MADNESS.

That is mad. My Tiger 800 is only 500e or so, 28 years old, 1 year NCB and still less than 2 years since full license. Have a grade 2 too.

Who are the insurances companies.

Liberty (where I was told this morning they dont recognise the IBT 5) LMFAO, Only in Ireland
Carol Nash
Aon
Adelaide
MCE - total joke over €1500

Anyone I am missing?

What about a Hyabussa,a ZZR or a ZX12R??

Hayabusa and the ZX12r are not very practical Paddy, I am looking for a quick enough bike that can take hard luggage without going everywhere are warp speed. Plus them two bikes would be a hell of alot quicker then I am TBH.

The VFR 1200 would be in the same class/category as the Hyabussa and ZZR 1400. The big difference is that the Hyabussa and ZZR are much better behaved at low speed, and therefore more manageable. The ZZR 1400 has luggage available, and is a great bike. I don't know if the Hyabussa has luggage, but it is a very capable bike.

The VFR 1200 is a pig of a bike in traffic (anything under 60KPH), the shaft drive and the torque curve both contribute to this. Honda have addressed the torque, and changed the way it is delivered, but this was only done late last year.
So, the late 2012 bikes onwards should be better at low speeds.
The luggage on the VFR 1200 is great in that it is easy to get on and off, but it is very small - there is very little space inside compared to other big bikes.
You can get a small/medium helmet in the top box, but you won't get a helmet in one of the panniers.
