had an RF until july but traded it in for an sv thou. some very good memories riding the RF

I looked at one, I think it were before i bought the VTR, but I didn't like it enough. Sounded OK (had an aftermarket can), went well, but it just did nothing for me, and the ergos / finish weren't up to Honda standard.
In my opinion.
I believe.

Unrestricted UK bikes were road tested at 260 k's. Probably 250 with a mere mortal on board.

Had my RF600 up to 150 . . . Mph. With a witness. On a track, of course . . .

I got mine up to 255 (ish) at Puke and it was still climbing quite well but they made the mistake of making that bit of road too short...

The brakes came in handy at that point.

It'll do more than that now - I know how to ride it... (I was changing up FAR too early on the track)

rode at 165mph (indicated) on a French motorway for a few miles;she was still pulling but the sidewind & knackered chain put all these funny pictures in my mind, most of them me dismembered and very dead.

when i was looking at bikes i condsidered an rf900, they are a nice bike, handle well and have a bit of pillon comfort, i just didnt like the look as much as the zx9r....luckilly the zx9r has a comfy pillon position too, and a fat seat with plenty of padding (so the mrs says) we did 250kms in the weekend and had no sore bits

TWAS good , specially the Tui's at puhoi pub

C'mon, we all know it wasn't really the bike that was making the pillion seat moist.

It just had a very sexy pilot.........
