Thanks for the heads up guys. I know there are still a few recalls on the vfr. Mine is very smooth on the transition of the vtec coming in, but I read somewhere that a lot of the problems are with smooth running etc are to do with the starter valves been out of balance. WTF they are I dont have a clue...
The vfr came from one of the largest honda dealerships in the uk and has come with a lifetime warranty, providing the bikes serviced by them. What the warranty is worth is anybodies guess, but I suppose it does give a bit of peace of mind.
I nipped to visit a mate sat eve and jumped on the motorway. In top its doing about 5200rpm at 80mph. The vtec does not come in till nearly 100mph in 6th.
Yes she is a heavy bugger. But to be fair you dont notice the weight once moving. What I have noticed that I took for granted on the fz6 was the steering lock and the lack of it on the vfr. Trying to turn the bike round is a nightmare compared to the fz6.
In my first hour post, id like to point out a couple of things. My fz6 was a 2004. It had the snatchy throttle responce that afflicted that model and the gearbox on the s2 is vastly improved against the 2004-2006 model.
I suppose thats why there is such a massive contrast between the 2 bikes.
