Motorcycle Forum / General / Motorcycles / June 2008vtr1000f vfr800 comparison
Hello I am 6'3" and I own a vfr800. So far it seems a very comfortable bike. Does anyone know how does it compare to the vtr1000f? Is vtr less comfortable for a tall person? Does it have more power? I believe the rc51 is also known as vtr1000, so the vtr1000f must be the sport touring model right? > Hello I am 6'3" and I own a vfr800. So far it seems a very comfortable > bike.

I don't know about the more recent models, but 3 or 4 years ago the VFR and VTR were miles apart on ergonomics and performance. The VTR is significantly more sport oriented, had a much further forward riding position, a much less "refined" powerplant, and nowhere near the ride comfort of the VFR. I'm 6', and found that for city riding, the VTR was borderline uncomfortable. A set of bar risers may help, but those bikes are very different animals. Really really fun bike to ride though... -- Cam '00 Triumph Sprint www.RideForDoug.com > Hello I am 6'3" and I own a vfr800. So far it seems a very comfortable > bike.

SignatureAndrew 00 Daytona 00 Speed Triple 71 Kawi H1 05 Squiddo thanks for the replies. i take vtr1000 superhawk is not as confortable as the vfr. But i think that some might be confusing the vtr1000 with the rvt1000. > thanks for the replies. i take vtr1000 superhawk is not as > confortable as the vfr.
