Are there any problems with the Honda VFR800?
Overall very good. 86 problems were mentioned in our survey in which owners had covered just over 1.25 million miles on their VFRs. That’s one problem every 15,000 miles. Most were minor and cheap to fix too. Significantly better than most modern bikes. A proper ‘made in Japan’ Honda.
What kind of engine does a Honda VFR have?
The V-four engine gives it just enough rough, raw edge to be classed as a bike with character and dodge the common criticism that Hondas are bland. OK, there are better machines available now but the VFR’s still a sweet ride that’s capable of loads.
Do you get 10% off on Honda VFR?
Fuel make a nice one for 130 high level and you get 10% off if you join the VFR owners club. K&N’s ARGUABLY shorten the engine life. They will wheelie in first gear and they are DEFINATELY NOT an old mans bike, you will find out why when you get on one.

Which is the best model of Honda VFR?
I bought the 1998 model as reading the write ups / reviews on the net, this is the one model VFR that most seemed to like the best. It appears to be the second hand model is the most sought after and seems to hold its price well. It is also the model that apparantely Honda based their latest model on.

How often does a Honda Fi bike fail?
That’s a problem once every 15,000 miles on average. Starting with the Fi models, the most common issue by far is the failure of the regulator/rectifier unit. This electrical gizmo converts the three-phase electricity the bike’s generator creates into the smooth, voltage limited, DC current the bike needs.
