Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

They are great bikes imo.

Usual honda check the reg/rec and give the cam chain tensioner a look at they have issues

Love the gear whine.

Nope. You can add a spacer to the top clevis of the shock.

Seems a bargain when you looks at the price of Ducatis.

That is minging. Also how can they even slightly compare it to the YZR500?
I hate the half fairing. It's like when you take your bike apart and only put it half back together to test it, or when some scally is riding round on some crashed damaged sports bike.

Haha fair. There are full fairing ones floating about

Did that to a few bikes, was told that dropping the forks could do similar but never felt the same.

I have to agree. If not minging, then pretty ugly. Looks like a naff repop of a TRX850.

Yeah, and a sorted TRX is great deal more fun.

People will buy it.

I absolutely love it. Has that blend of hashiriya x endurance racer vibes that looks absolutely amazing!

Reminds me of one of my favourite IG accounts Hashiriya Pride

going to get the wheels powdercoated on the vfr. Should I stay boring black or go bronze.....

It's boring but I prefer the light grey/matte silver

Bronze for sure

Agreed. I think silver would actually look really good.

Gosh will you just ask me out already

I want invite to the wedding...

Bronze

White look pretty sharp too and they'd be ideal for the wedding?

You know, I was going to say white ☺️

Satin gold. Like the HRC jobbies for the RC30.

they do look nice but I don't fancy keeping them clean.

I think I'm going bronze, local wheel place is £70 per wheel but needs bearings removed. I've done it on bicycle wheels is it the same but bigger bearings? and can I reuse as the rears appear to be £50!

You can't always get access to drift bearings out, If so, you have to use an extractor. They're little, steel cylinders with a deep slot that fit in the bearing race - you hammer a wedge into the slot and it grips the inside and pushes the bearings out.

I would never reuse wheel bearings.

That looks more nc30 rear end

Or just use expanding bolts. Cheaper than an extractor.

No, to reusing wheel bearings

Consider it an excuse to replace the bearings as they may be a little notchy after years of service.
