vfr800-- 120hp, 100ft-lbs???
Hey guys, I need to clear something up. A guy at work says his vfr800 (1998 ) dyno'd at 120rwhp, and 101ft-lbs with an aftermarket exhaust, and some other little mods. Is this totally unreasonable or what? He said the HRC kit gives it 190hp. Anyone know VFR's out there?
thanks

it was a joke...:-)..my gixxer does not even make that much power....on the other hand, if he means a little mods by means of a nitros kit..well, I stand corrected.
I call this bullshit until I see it myself on a dyno

that's what I said. He said he dyno'd it at bike week at daytona beach, and that's what it put down, 120hp, 101ft-lbs. Anyone know what a vfr800 with an exhaust and tune puts down? I'd guess around 105/55 maybe?

2002 only puts 95/45 down, so 120 is feasible with some mods, but the torque is doubtful IMHO even with a TUNED RC45 engine
SuperBling's link backs up the HP factor (possible with tuning), but has no torque info that I saw.

yeah, when he got the exhaust he talked about how he couldn't believe he picked up 20hp, because the factory exhaust was so restrictive to slow down the 'race' engine.
oh well, he's busted

BTW, the ZX-12 was FI, so no jets. Also, the 1998 was not VTEC. Find out what this guy is smoking
Of course, he may be talking about a modded NR 750 engine (32 valves,oval pistons..). Anyone interested in some prime swamp land?

Your friend might be referring to the RC 30 race bikes that the VFR evolved from. That engine was totally different in many ways from the street version, Different cranks, different firing order,...among other tweaks.

"Racetech .95's with gold rebound and compression valves"
I heard those are good for about 3.17 hp at the rear wheel? Oops, gotta go, phone is ringing...maybe it's a buyer for the swamp, uh, I mean, real estate

The 5th Gen VFR ('98-'01) were advertised at only 98hp. That was measured at the crank. The sad thing here is that the VFR is about 80lbs heavier than the VTR with about the same hp. and the VFR 'WILL' smoke the VTR in the quarter mile.

My VTR constantly OWNS this VFR 800 out at the track...the VFR's stock are way overrated...

After a half of a mile or so he would catch me but just barely. Read the publications, their numbers support what I saying too. It's not so much the power that either bike makes but how it's delivered to the road. The V twin makes power very differently that the V four. The VFR (5th generation at least) is about a tenth quicker in the quarter mile than the VTR. I think you guys under estimate the capabilities of the VFR just like a good portion of the rest of the market. That bike is just plain versatile and just as fun to ride as the VTR.
