Honda VT750S 2011 Specifications

Honda VT750S 2011

Top speed I reckon is going to be about 100mph on the clock (which is 2mph out at 60mph according to sat-nav) and on the five tanks of fuel so far I've average 65mpg plus over the 500 miles, (that's 54mpg in USA).
It's still running in though but today I notched up 50 more miles and cruised for a while on the motorway at an indicated 85 with only half throttle.
She's booked in for first service on Friday (due at 600 miles), so I have to clock up a few hundred this weekend.
Tyre pressures are 29psi front AND rear. But 36 at the back if you have a passenger, according to the handbook.

May Day Run Hastings 2011

Parked in the centre of town. Great day, bike still running in and on the road just four days... 160 miles total on the clock.
It's parked with my lady's CBR600F 1993 we picked up a month ago which has just 20,000 miles on it.

Video of Honda VT750S with 200 miles on the clock

Review Honda VT750S Tricolour 2011 (or VT750RS Tricolor in the USA)

My new VT750S Tricolour, first day, it even has the original dealer numberplate fitted
 Picked this up on Royal Wedding Day... 200 miles over the first weekend.

Sold my 2000 Fireblade to purchase this after purely because I liked the paintjob.

It was easy using Honda's zero per cent finance from those very nice people in Hastings at J S Gedge and Salesman Neil was still prepared to do a deal as well.

Kikker at the BMF

Here is a picture from the Kikker 5150's UK debut at the BMF Show in Peterborough last month (May 2009). Workshop Chops took along four assembled machines as the company launched its dealership in the UK. It is the only importer of the little bobber which guarantees to get it on the road legally.

Lady rider revealed


A few months ago I posted a vid of my lady riding my CB450 DX just a day or so before she passed her test. (She did and she now rides a CBR600 after a brief flirtation with a Yamaha XJ600)
Well the video on Youtube of her riding the 450DX has attracted a few hits and a couple of people asked to see more of her because the quality was a bit poor.
