All 19- Help with Potential 5G VFR Purchase Looks really nice. If he would accept 3500, I think it's more than worth it. I looked at a pretty nice one yesterday and the seller was firm at 2500. But it wasn't nearly in the same league as that one. It looked nice…
- Help with Potential 5G VFR Purchase The garage queen is nice. But 5000 seems really steep IMO. I saw a similar condition bike, a 2001 in Illinois with only 13k miles, sell for about 2000. I'm still kicking myself I couldn't get out to buy it in time. Also…
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? I am on a budget, although I could have afforded his full asking price. I first saw the ad posted on CL yesterday and was excited because it looked like a decent bike and was local to me, but yesterday, after I made…
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? Yeah the bike started fine. It sounded good. I'm just OCD and would feel compelled to have the valves shimmed right away, before I started riding much. At 50k miles, I'd bet at least a few were out of spec. If I had a…
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? I looked at a pretty nice 2000 this morning. It had 49k miles but looked clean. Only problem was the owner said he'd never shimmed the valves, and thought the engine had probably never been opened, but said he wouldn't…
- Who makes the best cover for 5th gens ? It will be parked under covered parking, chained up. But I need something to keep the dust and dirt off. Any recommendations ?
- 98-99 vs 00-01 Is there any worthwhile difference between the early 5th generations and the later 5th generations ? I think I read something about the early bikes having a couple extra hp due to less emissions equipment ? Is that true…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? 3 hours ago, Marvelicious Not exactly local, but... https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/d/sumas-honda-vfr-1998/6972968091.html Thanks for the lead. I noticed that one earlier today. Looks pretty good in the picture.…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? 17 hours ago, Marvelicious It might be worth posting your criteria... 5th gen I assume, but what else? Clean title? Mileage? Yes, I definitely want 5th generation. Clean title for sure. Mileage, I'm open. Although I'd…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? 7 hours ago, BuzznerSuntrusts $6000 is more than I paid for my ‘99 in ‘03! Yeah, 6k seems really high for a 21 year old bike, even with low miles. I know the market for used sportbikes is pretty soft. Less people riding…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? Well I'm bummed out. I decided I would fly out this weekend and buy that mint one with 14k miles but the ad got deleted. Guess it was sold. Not surprising, it was a steal for $2000. There is another like new, low…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? After searching craigslist for an hour, I managed to find another 2001 in a different state (VA) that has the sticker in the "high position". I wonder if it's a production variance ? I haven't seen this with any other…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? Thanks for all the very useful replies. I will check the frame and engine numbers. My concern is the frame was swapped at some point and the sticker reapplied from the original. Lorne, your photo lines up with all the…
- Does this VIN sticker look right ? I noticed this odd thing in a picture of the local VFR I'm considering. I haven't seen it in person yet, waiting to get the money together before i inspect and test ride. But this VIN sticker is bothering me. At first,…
- Hello VFRD ! Thanks for the welcome. I'll be sure to post pics when I get one.
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? One other question if you will all indulge me. How well do these bikes handle the heat ? Are the side mount radiators a problem in 100-110F degree weather ? I've always heard the RC-51 ran hot.
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? Thanks for the responses. Good to know 40k miles is still ok. The local one I'm considering has a new chain, bar risers, and comes with a sargent seat, and vfrness wiring harness. Is that a good one ? I've read the…
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? I'm looking to buy a 5th gen VFR800fi. What is the forum's thoughts on mileage ? Is it worth paying more for less, or would you only look at condition ? For example, a local one that caught my eye has 40k miles. But…
- Hello VFRD ! Hey guys. Found this forum through google. I sold my last sportbike earlier this year. But i"m getting the itch to buy another. Think I want to go more sport touring than hardcore this time. I'm getting too old for low…
