Motorcycle specifications HondaVFR 800 V-TEC RC 46 II 2006 Too sure of herself...?

first and foremost, it's important to remember this: Since its release in 1986, the VFR has evolved every 4 years, smoothly, confidently, always raising its level of perfection a notch, but never rushing the public. And then, in 2002, came the shock: a very angular, more aggressive design, the disappearing sprocket cascade, and a V-Tec whose effects we were only moderately convinced of.
4 years later, for 2006, we were expecting a new VFR - and here it is. But the shock is quite different: what's changed?
visually, one wonders. Apart from the white blinker caps, a gradually tinted windscreen and the plate between the headlights, which has changed color, the latest-generation VFR is strictly the same as the previous version (the same criticism could be made of the new R1, except that here, the stylists have had 4 years to work...). Clearly, Honda hasn't made much use of its design department. No changes to the chassis, either. In fact, there was no need to. With its aluminum "Pivotless" frame, dual-CBS braking and suspension set-up, the VFR remains a delight in its chosen field: sport-GT. Nothing to see and nothing to say on this front. The changes are to be found in the mill.
the most significant improvement isn't that the VFR has borrowed its injectors from the CBR 1000 RR, or that it is now capable of passing Euro 3 anti-pollution standards... No, it's the change in the laws governing the V-Tec system. The speed at which the engine switches from 2 to 4 valves per cylinder is now set at 6,600 rpm, i.e. 200 rpm earlier than previously. Work has focused on a smoother transition without altering the typical V4 V-Tec sound. On deceleration, the threshold for the engine to switch back to 2-valve operation has been reduced to 6,100 rpm.
the VFR remains the VFR. Perhaps that's why the public will still love it so much, but it's to be feared that Honda's approach to developing its best-seller is too timid. The 2002-2005 version wasn't completely convincing, and the 2006 version won't succeed in putting the VFR back on the road to success - the fault also lies with the market, which has evolved considerably.

A question to the specialists, where is the voltage regulator on this 2006 VFR 800 motorcycle?
I have a battery problem and I am told that it could come from this part
thanks
thank you, Rating : 5/5 Respond to pidus
i need to complete the homologation file for my Belgian VFR in France. The information requested is included in the certificate of conformity for a motorcycle approved in France. How can I obtain a copy of this document, or who can tell me where I can find this information, eg
- gear ratio tables / at each speed
- power at the wheel
- speed calculated at 100 rpm for each gear ratio
- max engine rpm (not at max power)
thank you Rating : 5/5 Respond to PHIOLE
It only took me a few KM outside the dealership to realize what a fraud it was!
Frankly, we're not going to beat around the bush, this beaker has nothing in the bag. The torque before 8000 rpm is simply non-existent, and when doubled up it becomes unbearable.
too much position on the wrists for road use.
cycle part OK
sold it 8 months later for a diavel, finally a man's bike... and bought a second-hand sprint st for the duo.
Tip: try a sprint st before trying a vfr... and don't be fooled by vfr propaganda. Rating : 2/5 Respond to JP

It's the must-have of all the bikes I've ever owned!
you've got to love the VTEC system, with a twin-cylinder up to 6500 rpm, but it's a powerful, safe and super-comfortable bike.
In terms of looks, it's sporty without being futuristic like today's kawas.
A must-have, I tell you !!!! Rating : 5/5 Respond to MAXOU

I don't know what they're smoking at Honda when it comes to prices, but it looks like a good one @_@ Rating : 5/5 Respond to El Awrence
super easy bike, agile, powerful(...) great road holding and braking...both solo and duo!
shortcomings: turning radius, weight at standstill, engine flexibility below 5000 rpm (sometimes unpleasant)
I didn't find the Vtec effect as annoying as some people claim, and at worst it was rarely "surprising" (although you do have to keep an eye on the rev counter when coming out of corners)
All in all, I'm very happy and had a lot of fun Rating : 5/5 Respond to Douglas
That said, its weak point is the lack of smoothness at low revs, giving jerks below 5,000 rpm and making city driving not very pleasant..
Can this be corrected????

the Vtec VFR didn't convince me, and the 2006 model even less so, so I'm going to the show on Sunday to take a look at the competition. Hi HONDA, too bad, I liked you! Rating : 5/5 Respond to j.gazzz
So is this V5 coming out or not? Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nicolas
