My08 Vs My10

Hi, 

Can't make my mind up on which 2nd hand VFR to buy.

1. MY08, non-ABS, 45000km

2. MY10, non-ABS, 70000km

#2 is AUD$500 more (before haggling).

Is the 25000km going to be MUCH of a difference?

'08 lower mileage lower cost for the win.  Same bike, buy the one thats cheaper with less miles.

Both are less than 25% of the way through their life, so no, not much difference.  But yeah - ^^^ buy the cheaper one with fewer km's on it. 

Are we comparing bikes of the same gen? Is the '10 a 6th gen down under?

Edit: 6th gen not 5th gen. 2010 typically refers to 7th gen, ie VFR1200

IIRC 2009 was the last year the 6th gen was offered in the U.S. and 2010 in other parts of the world.

This thread suggests that the 2010 in Australia is the 1200, which is why I asked.

He means 6th gen 800 as we still had new in crate   6th gen around even in 2012 and beyond if you looked hard enough

Paint schemes are probably the only difference between those years.

Lower mileage/cheaper and probably more room to haggle too.

Pics required once you've done the dirty deed!  :beer:

Just made an offer on the MY08.

Wish me luck, fellow viffers(soon-to-be)

We all know the answer is to buy both... One for fun and the other, well that would also be for fun.

SO it is your fault that it has started raining locally as this is what ALWAYS  happens when I buy a Bike

Just to clarify model years in Australia and New Zealand.

My Gen 6 has a manufacture date on the ID plate of 10/10.  That is October 2010.

Honda America stopped importing them in to the US but they were still available in many other parts of the world.

Any   news  ?
