Thread: What kind of Motorcycle do you own.

Honda had real problems with the first V4s and the Cam Chain on the VF750 in early 80s,they went back to the drawing board and the resulting VFR750 was an over engineered jewel, all their subsequent V4s are really nice motors.

Hard to beat the sound of a 4 cyl.

Mine was Red ...



Was the heaps of chrome and the swept 4 into 1 pipes which sealed the deal.

For me, sort of like the early/mid 60's pony (mustang) ... timeless good looks.

What colour was yours?

I always had a soft spot for those. I never owned one but always admired my friend's bike.

They are just like the guy stated in the Vid Dilly. They are a very underrated hidden gem moto.

I didn't really come off it. I came to the conclusion it looked gay as fuck as I pulled out of CC Roadhouse Bikers pub one day.

Btw, They are around but here in TL but you have to look and wait. Actually LuLu did sort of help. I had the seen the one he had mentioned. There is a FB page which is where I found it.

That brings back forgotten memories! I had a Honda dealership in the eighties, we did a fair bit of warranty work on the VF750 when the problem came to light, can't remember exactly what the problem was! The next off the line 750 was the VFR, that was an excellent bike.

i think it was oil starvation in the top end.

Camchain Tensioner. I picked up a slightly fuk'd CBX550 that had a similar problem - rebuilt the engine it lasted two months before the problem resurfaced and i rode it straight into a scrap yard dropped it on its side and walked out got on me mates bike and fuk'd off.

Yes the gear drive motor fixed all that. Chain tensioners were very problematic for lots of makers very early on. Now its a thing of the past. The V4 with gear drives are relatively bullet proof.

^ when are you and Luigi gonna do us a Go Pro rip up of those loops up there?

Still got the one I didn't find sitting on a shelf with the battery dead.

Really gotta get round to ordering charging cables and mounts.

Up to the Dego. I would hook up and do a ride but he cannot sit on other peoples bikes and expect me to take pictures...

Btw. The New DJI action Cam looks pretty slick.

Note to self.

Jays the Gay Dwarf's too simple to know what's a joke.

Doesnt look like Scoopy Loo is gonna be participating...again

Guess not, LuLu doesn't get that I get that him sitting on others bikes was a joke.

I was looking at the RVF, I am gonna have to fab up some new mounts for my Go Pro but should pretty quick. I'm working remotely for the 5 days so I should have time to get it set up.
