I recently purchased a 2001 VFR 800 and so far i love it! It is ridiculously fast and really all the bike i really need. I traded it for an ATV i had and got an unbelievable deal. It has a list of modifications and looks like a little bit of money had been thrown at this bike.
Here's a list of mods and upgrades:

2001 fuel injected VFR with ceramic coated catless '98 header
D&D carbon fiber high mount exhaust
power commander III usb with custom fuel map(and o2 sensor eliminators installed)
VFRness upgraded reg./rectifier wiring harness
PC fan on r/r
de-snorkled with K&N air filter
airbox flapper fixed open
PAIR(smog) system removed and aluminum blockoff plates installed
Galfer stainless steel brake lines and clutch line(with linked braking system)
speed bleeder bolts on all brake and clutch bleeder points
wheels stripped and powdercoated silver
Sargent two piece seat
quick release pins installed for solo seat cowl
polished aluminum scalloped spikes on fork tube covers and spanner nut
DID gold chain
Helibar handlebar risers
new AGM type battery
carbon fiber tank pad, gas cap cover and triple tree cover
Avon Storm ST tires with 1000 miles on them

I would just like to know the approximate value of the bike and just your comments on what you think of it and or more modifications i could do.

Thanks

Welcome to VFRD mate :fing02:

Looks like a nicely fettled bike you've got yourself - not too much more to do I'd reckon --- just ride and enjoy! :happy:

Wow - Super nice 5th gen with lots of goodies. I have a 5th gen too. What to do next? I'm with Dutchy, grab some rider training and gear first. Then as you get better as a rider, suspension upgrades should be on the list. Other than that, the bike needs nothing. Amazing with all the work aready done it doesnt have the suspension work. (Or maybe it does?)

Good Luck

The nicely farkeled bike is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it, no more, and no less. The next upgrades could/should be rider instruction/gear, and then suspension.

Don't forget the double bubble windscreen.

Looks like you got pretty much everything already done to it! Lucky you!

How about a pair of frame sliders?

good luck, come to Canada, it rocks here.
