Do you feel any difference?

I'm changing my battery soon. I'm thinking of Ballistic Battery actually.

Hi Muddy,

 

The shorai battery is lighter as compared to the YTZs14 by around 2 kg .. (I think). It is quite easy to replaced. Just removed and stick the supplied sponge and rehook up the wires. Psychologically, feel the bike lighter .. lol ..

 

The bike is able to start up quite fast .. May be for new battery. I bought this mainly because of charges retention and easy recharge (~ 2 hrs riding per mth is enough). It is more x than the Yuasa. Hopefully it can last longer as stated. Feel gd ..

 

I hope somebody knew abt the DAM exhaust . It look really nice to fit on the VFR ... Will chk further next time ..

 

Cheers

 

safe riding ...

By the way, also went with up to Fraser's Hill last weekend with the VFR. The bike corners like it's on rails. Handles very well. DCT worked flawlessly. It was so good that I left it on D mode instead of manually shifting it. Didn't need S as the torque is good and corners were tight and closely spaced.

How about riding down the Frazer's Hill. Do you switch to S mode for the extra engine braking. I'm very interested with DCT.

Nope. Also D mode. Plenty of engine brake for me. Get it. DCT is amazing.

Kind of in between. But if you have a rear box, pillion can lean back and it's pretty upright. Definitely more comfortable than sports bike. Seat is wider too.

Hi guys..I bring fairing set..I have for ur models..if you guys interested do pm me or msg me 98444355

 

ride fast but safe

[kentng7]

the seat is slippery and the pilion may slide down and knock the front .. I never pilion anybody yet but this is what I heard fr another guy ...

 

VFR1200 is a sport tourer and mine feeling is that 2 up riding may not be as comfortable as ST11 or ST13 ..

That's true. The seat is a bit slippery. Good if you're in the twisting alone where you need to do side-to-side. But under braking, tendency for pillion to slide forward.

Is fun to read all your replied and review for the VFR but really not active over here.

I am aiming for this bike. I ride everyday to work and will fetch my gf often.

Still wondering is it suitable for my daily usage.

My current ride is ER6F.

IMHO, using the VFR 1200 as a daily transport is not a good choice. It will feel heavy and hot in stop go traffic. Slight twist of the throttle and you will be above speed limits. When you need to push the bike eg while parking, you feel its weight.

Thanks for the advise.

Will considering deeply whether want to change to VFR1200F or not.

Btw, yesterday saw one at Tuas! The feeling is a big WAH!

What's a beautiful bike! Heart melting! Again!
