No street bike sounds like a vtec pure mechanical harmony! Smoothest transmission of any bike ever made!

Great video. I'm picking up a 2009 white VFR800 tomorrow and came across this video...and I am sure this is my daily ride home from work...not far from Melbourne Airport right? Really can't wait to pick it up tomorrow!

@Escape1727 I know someone who's 6'7'' with a VFR. He can always get bar risers. Best advice is to stop dreaming and start sitting on one.

don't talk about the Vvt without letting is hear it....!!!!

A friend of mine wants to buy this bike, but is worried about his height.

Do you think this bike may be too small for a 188cm tall person???

Thanks. :)

Why not let us hear that nice engine sound?

I got a 2003 and I can't get enough of the sound!

I have a 2007 and love it...sadly as I watch this we have several inches of snow and ice on the roadway so no riding today

i have a vfr 750, 1997. the handling is very good, maybe not as good as an all out sports bike, say like the triumph sprint rs, the ride quality is the best iv ever been on. beautiful on long journeys. engine is excellent, makes a lovely rumble and there is ample power. an excellent bike for all types of riders.
