I've owned several shaft drives, but they were all Hondas.. other brands may be different. There is almost no maintenance to the shaft drive. It is very smooth, much less lash compared to chain drive. When you goose it, the rear of the bike lifts and you loose traction easily (this is why they would suck for racing). I think the lift is from the pinion gear trying to climb the ring gear.

great in that color. amazing that the VFR started its life in 82 or 83 as the v45 interceptor and was honda's all out sportbike. Years of refinement later it might be heavier but bike of the year many years.

Nice bike. I keep telling my girlfriend that after I pay off the R6, a sport touring bike that is comfortable for both of us to ride is on the list.
I've always loved the look of single sided swing arms. Last futzed with by Matt_F; November 25th, 2009 at 01:29 PM. |

thanks matt. yeah, the ride is really comfortable for my wife when we ride together. when you do decide to get a sports tourer, maybe you could look into the new honda vfr 1200f. not sure if you heard about it, but it is the replacement for my bike. i think it is supposed to have like 170 hp.
don't know how i feel about the headlights, but it is slowly growing on me. this vid starts out kind of dumb... |
