it has been a long time since I have been on this site and been on a motorcycle. To give a quick bio my list of bikes in the past 25 years are as follows in order,
I am fairly short so I always lowered my Hondas buy Turning the triangle plate and adjusting the front forks. I always live the VFRs and found them my favorite except the XX which I had set up excellent for touring and had gobs of power.
I Have been thinking of getting another bike. Probably used. I post this hoping to save a little bit of time on research potential bikes. I am leaning towards the following for various reason and find some short comings in all of coarse:) and I would need hard bag set up and a good alternator to power heated gear/etc
6, 7, or 8gen Vfr
ninja 300 the least on my list only reason it's in it cheap and great gas mileage
Hey googus, I checked out that machine and looked up NADA values for Greenville zip code with the bags: low $3355, high $4428.
The bike looks quite nice. (And I can vouch for the windshield; I love mine esp on long wet/cold rides. And nearly 10% better gas mileage.)
IMHO the price is more than 10% over-priced. But if it's as clean as it looks, the mileage puppy-young (check the age of tires and plan on changing all fluids unless the seller can provide service records) and you love it, go for it. I can see you've got great taste in mc's.
With the converted bars, lower peg blocks, Corbin, windshield and Honda bags i was at around 1200 toward the bike in add ons
from the low figure. He stated the bikes tires where 1,000 miles old. His offer was 4800. I ask for original parts because I don't like the screen because j am short and get a buffer and not sure about the bars. I also asked about the recall and valve check. I countered at 4,500 and meet half way even though it's not a deal breaker. He said he will get back to me:(
another guy around the corner has a bone stock 08 with 6k for $4,000 and another by me has a 07 RWB for 6,000 and will not budge:)
this is would be my 6th VFR:) I just keep coming back to them

There are some 6generations around here 2005-2002 with hard bags 14-20k miles for 5k and a 2007 for 6k. All of them will not budge on price. I just feel for 3k more have a 10year newer bike brand new is worth it:)

And raise the pegs back up. It has some nice upgrades like the seat and the bags as well.
