Well said.... and itz not only an 800cc V4 toury sports bike... itz also a V-TEC!~! VFR = Very Fast Rider

 

Juz work within ur financial limits.. and aim slowly towards ur dreams....

 

But with all the Technology in it... its worth the price... onli the panniers super duper expensive...

 

Like wot HamsterZ says... choose the riding style... VFR riding style is a hybrid... half touring, half sporting... maibe it can use alittle more CC??

 

FJR is a sporty tourer... so if possible try both bikes... den u know wot u wan...

 

Anyway.. im also like phantom stripe.. cun decide betw the TWO..... soo.... moi ambition.... BUY BOTH LAH

 

One ride wif pillion.. One ride wifout pillion...

yeah heheh I was also deciding b/w the ST13 and the FJR, but guess the track headed mind got me the VFR!

 

tink the the next stallion i get might be an ST13 or the FJR.. tink if i get the Gold Wing, age must have caught up with me...

[ashenZ]

juz now tried seating on a ST13..... itz actualli lighter den a ST11.. more compact.... not as bulky.... damn comfy.....~!~!

 

but muz wait for a few yrs for refinements to be done.. b4 itz safe to buy it....

Well there are reasons to the high cost of this bike. Many think it is not a value for money vehicle. But if you know what you are looking for in this bike, you will understand why. I think I left somewhere in this thread why a someone would pick a VFR.

 

2010 is still target. Once a rider always a rider (in the heart at least) I am still looking forward to the next gen VFR!

 

You have friendster/msn? We have a VFR riders on friendster though...

 

 

 

By the way, your bike running on

Well once you get the other 2 valves working at 7000rpm, the story get all Jekyll and Hyde. The bike justy gets schiziod!!. The sound is very different from a S4 vtec. The growl is exhilarating. By the way, it sounds exactly like a DC5 screaming past on the road.

i read alot from http://www.vfrdiscussion.com

many complaining leh still cant find a cheap way to pump it up. the Economy VTEC din have tat kinda wOw feeling.

 

but i really like the looks. getting a 2ndhand is worth considering.

hope the '05 model is better. then i've be tempted

ya.. happened to chat up with this guy (with a pilot lookalike).. keke.. eh juz ordered one from mah motor... less than 22k otr... phew.. and i guess a non-boon siew model wil be so much better having able to off the headlight... kekekeke.. save up sm money to modify it.. kekeke... (FYI, think he's 28yrs old, so insurance wise.. wil be cheaper...should be 1k for 3rd party with fire & theft)

issit a new 2004 FY plate blue VFR? Saw it at Mah on saturday. Or issit FX9548 a red color 2004? Geez VFR is getting mroe n more common! But then again its a good bike, thats why...

 

Well the only good thing abt a Boon Siew bike is that you get recall warranty if issued by Honda. By the way, the headlight switch on the right console is only on a 2002 model. The 2003 has nothing.The 2004 has a hazard light on the same position.

 

I think I would rather get a Boon Siew bike since you are already paying so much. The extra cost is not even 5% of the bike though. Just my opinion

 

How still itnerested on this sundays Mersing->Rompin trip?

Yes 23.8k OTR means everything included;

1) Ins. of 1.3k TPFT for age group 24-26.

2) half year road tax.

3) any admin charges, bike transfer fee etc.

4) number plate

*Not sure if the $150 ERP unit included or not

 

You just need to pay the downpayment and when collecting bike the first installement.

If bike shop wants to chop you, any other hidden costs

 

Getting a new one is going to burn a huge hole in your pocket and will continue to enlarge the hole when owning it. If you must save up for it lor
