Honda VFR800
First impressions……
Post modern power house…. The VFR800 has the lines of a stealth bomber and the performance to suit. As I ran my eye over the VFR for the first time I couldn’t help but marvel at Honda’s unique ability of retaining all the classic lines of past VFR models, yet still utilizing the latest design techniques giving the VFR800 a wild futuristic appearance that carries superior aerodynamic function.
The ergonomic design of the VFR seats you in a relatively upright position, which I found very comfortable.
The unique seat design and rear pillion handles are a brilliant idea, which makes a long tour with two up, enjoyable. Further more a high rise exhaust system allows the pillion foot pegs to be lowered making a better seating position. This bike has the comfortable steady balance of a big touring machine, coupled with the ever ready V4 performance and predictable handling, which is always just a fast curve away.
At the heart of the VFR800 beats a V4 800cc motor that delivers a powerful linear surge through a two stage valve actuation. Torque builds solidly at low RPM and screams through to the top giving the VFR800 lively sports bike acceleration.
Braking can be described as strong and progressive, using the Duel Combined Braking System which works brilliantly in conjunction with the tuned aluminum chassis and steering geometry.
Ride away……
The VFR800 is without a doubt a fantastic ride with so many diverse characteristics. Its truly like owning two motorcycles with one rego. The long distance tour is a simple pleasure, with its comfortable seating position and generous pillion arrangement.
The VFR800 brings back the thrill to the long open road, blending sports bike performance with a touch of refined sensitivity.
