last gen R1 with the demon eyes, also a classic

[iwearvelcroshoez]

This list is on point! I traded in my VFR in for a new street triple last year. I almost bought a Ducati Monster!

Only bike you missed was the CBR 954RR. My favorite bike of all time. If I could go back in time I would have kept mine!

I got the 6th gen VFR Interceptor. I absolutely love it

[davidmorgan]

I had a new 1984 Honda VFR 750 and 20 years later I bought a new 2004 VFR 800. I loved both of them as an older guy I smoked a friend on a Hayabusa in the twisty. While the VFR 800 was not a true sport bike it wasn’t a slouch. It was a comfortable every day rider and a well rounded bike that at the time was hard to find. Almost everything else at the time was hyper focused.

I have an 8th gen vrf800 in white. LOVVVE that bike. waiting for Honda to make a 1000 CC v4 VFR soon. hopefully

Gonna be a sad day when they stop selling the GSXR 750 😢

[Wileylikethehawk]

I own a VFR 750, my dad owns a 750 and an 800, and my brother had a 750. They are delightful.

1992 Fireblade, 1984 GPZ900, 1998 R1, 1989 ZXR750, any year VFR750R (RC30). Already getting pricey but all classics.

[DaveBoatBuilder]

My first fast bike, a VFR 750 fg. Loved it.

[andrewgraham]

Going to make an argument for the 1st gen sv650. Maybe the 2nd gens as well but the EFI vs carburetor issue makes for a weaker case.

[OneinTheChamber]

I just got a 2006 Honda hornet 600! Love it.

[freeroam]

I owned a Black '98 VFR. Imo the best VFR's were 1998 and 99. Still with the gear driven cams of the previous generation but adding FI. The 98/99 were pre cat so had more power than the '00 and '01. It made good power from 4-12K and was by far the best sounding bike I ever owned. Rode it like I stole it and she was bulletproof. Never touched the valves. An amazing sport touring bike. I live in the Philippines now and ride a Honda XRM 125, which I also love.

Hello, old bloke here, always watch your vids Y.N. the first production V4 I know of is the Matchless silver hawk, hey, we can't let history be forgotten. Ride on. 🎉Poot

I got a 1984 Yamaha FJ1100. I love it! 18k miles and 125hp, It's a blast to ride!

[danjones]

Defintely the RnineT. Esp. the EURO 3 version with it's sonorous bass line...

[obamaball]

This is pretty funny cause I’m going to purchase a 1998 VFR800 this weekend😁

[ricatiman]

Yammie : I owned and modded several Monsters in the )'s... and the one to get is the S4RS - Tricolore from 2008 - After spending large and modding my '06 S2R1000, I got one of these...and it's superb! Get one while you can still find them just under $10K ... they will only go up...

[Senior-Busa-Rider]

Hello from Wisconsin 0:52 would like to send a pic of my 2022 Hayabousa I’m 76 and love the ride .🦅🇺🇸🦅🙏

[longdongsilver]

i own a bmw r1150gs, gotta say there are some things that need to be changed. both rear and front brake lines need to be upgraded, along with verifying if the abs system works. the carbon canister needs to be deleted sonce it can recirculate fuel mixed with carbon through the fuel pump/filter. the cam chain tensioner needs to be replaced with a 1200 tensioner (~$180) and the fuel filler cap can let water in. however, i cant lie its one of the best bikes to take on trips, and agile enough for city riding. the transmission is agricultural at best, yet raw and engaging. they are simplicity itself when doing regular maintenance though, and the suspension makes the bike feel rigid yet planted so you get a real sense of confidence in the twisties. if you can find one for about 3500 to 5000 bucks, snap it up. the lower the miles the better, but try and find one around 40-50k miles. reliability wise its a treat, however getting them serviced at a motorad can be a hit or miss, depending on if theyll work on a 20 year old bike. definitely made for larger riders, theyre about 550-600lbs with everything on. alright thats basically everything i can think of.

How in the hell did you forget the SV 650?
