i just sold my fazer6 now riding a vfr hmmm height also 177 i think riding posture fazer is more on a upright position where else vfr is more like a sport bike.

fazer is less jerky when riding on straight road as told by my pillion

speed and pick up vfr win

temperature fazer is more cooling as vfr can make me sweat for every ride as i usually not riding at expressway.

i think vfr 800 fuel consumptio is higher then fazer6 not sure about fazer1

FZ1 06 onwards is a gas-guzzler.

Past rides are already history....

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone could help me answer a few quick questions abt VFR800, am torn between getting it or the fazer...

 

1) How is the bikes riding position? Been on a Fazer before and it feels pretty similar to a super 4. Wondering it a VFR would be somewhat similar?

 

2) Anyone got a estimate of its FC? went thru the forum and came up with 16-17km/L... anyone got any higher?

 

3) I am not very tall... like 178cm... anyone with similar height kind enuf to enlighten me on if i would be more suited to a fazer?

 

Would appreciate if anyone could answer my questions. :) cheers all.

 

I can answer question 3.

 

I'm pretty short, about 164cm, and have no problems riding it to work everyday. Only when i want to park the darn thing. it's mighty huge for a person my size.

 

cheers

Would you be so kind as to let us know where we can make them, and how much we could expect the pieces to cost? Thanks.

He who hesitates is lost!

1) i would say its comfortable and kindda a bit like sportsbike sitting position.

sitting wise is as comfortable as a S4 . pillion also sits comfortably as what my wifey told me. long distance eg. KL also no backache for the pillion .

 

2) est. around that range . mine ~320km then reserved. average speed 105-115km/h on expressway .

 

3) i know of one Ang Moh guy around that height or even taller .

no problem though . btw , im around that height too . :angel:

Most people go through life following the crowd.

 

Others think for themselves.

 

They go their own way.

hmmm a bit hard to take leave now leh..

 

Yeah, a weekend trip of riders sounds good.

 

Btw, does anyone have a spare chain-guide? I've been waiting for FJT and BoonSiew to get back to me for an entire month, and they don't have that particular spare part? Do you know where i can source for it?

 

It's a simple piece of rubber/plastic that ensures the chain doesn't hit the swing arm. Simple but important, and i've been listening to this annoying (and painful) sound of chain slamming onto the swingarm when i close my throttle. (more slack).

 

Or are there aftermarket chain guides for vfr800? thanks guys.
