For sale is a 2000 Honda VFR800 that I have owned since September of 2019. I have been riding the bike less and less over the last couple years and have decided to sell it, hopefully finding a home with someone who will have more time to enjoy this special motorcycle. Most of the folks on here are aware, but this is from the 5th Generation of the VFR, produced from 1998-2001, with 2000 being the only year the bike was produced in yellow. This is the last generation that was produced with the iconic gear driven cams.

Throughout my time owning this bike, it has always been stored inside and always kept on a battery tender when I was not riding it. This bike has been completely gone through from top to bottom since I have owned it and it is 100% sorted. The bike has just over 25,000 miles now, about 3,000 of which I have put on the bike since I have owned it. Over the last 1,500-2,000 miles, the bike has received the following updates:
Suspension: The bike has received Daugherty Motorsports suspension, with BD20 fork cartridges and a BD40 rear shock (with reservoir). This suspension is fully adjustable and completely transformed the way the bike feels. The components DMr uses are high end - HYPERCO spring on the rear shock, beautifully machined metal, and gorgeous anodizing. When the bike was disassembled to install these new components, everything was cleaned.

Brakes: The entire braking system on this bike was cleaned, serviced, and every caliper and master cylinder seal and o ring has been replaced. The bike received Galfer stainless steel braided brake lines and EBC brake pads, along with fresh fluid. In addition to the peace of mind knowing the whole braking system was refreshed, this has completely transformed the way the brakes feel.

Exhaust: The bike came with the desirable Staintune muffler, but I have also added a set of headers that were produced by a fabricator in WA for a handful of years. Since much of the discussion around these headers took place here, folks on this forum are likely aware of the small batches of these headers that were hand built, modeled after the discontinued Two Brothers Racing headers that were originally made for this bike. These headers save weight and improve airflow. My plan was to originally add a Power Commander and have this dyno tuned, but never made it that far.

Electrical: These bikes are notorious for having electrical issues so every wire and connector has been gone through to make sure nothing was burned or melted and that all connections are solid. This process included adding a VFRness, as well as a new Reg/Rec and stator. This bike was converted to a lithium ion battery and compatible Reg/Rec.
Other mods and maintenance:
- Sargent seat
- Zero Gravity smoke wind screen
- Frankenstein bolts for easy removal of cowl
- Battery tender
- Voltage meter
- New headlight bulbs
- Coolant system flushed
- Pirelli Angel GT tires (~70% of life left on them)
- Throttle bodies sync’d
- Valves checked and in spec
This bike is mechanically perfect, with a few minor cosmetic scratches. The previous owner dripped the bike in his driveway which left some scratches, but NONE of the plastic is cracked. I have included photos of the scratches, as well as some blemishes the previous owner used yellow paint to cover up. As you can see by the photos, you need to get very close to the bike to see the imperfections.
