Canada to get Black/White Spain Color Combo?

Honda Canada 2009 VFR color

Looks that way, and its only a color change but its got me excited!

I might have to get one for myself to match my wife's '06 pearl white VFR!

 

That would be cool. It's a nice looking bike and having it will add the white wheels to CDN parts inventory.

 

Extremely freaking cool, but I'm not paying 15 grand for one. If I decide to go the two-tone route, I'll contact my body man.

 

Yeah....What he said!!!

 

I think the black and white looks pretty slick.

 

white wheels are never clean unless you seriously wash your bike then don't ride it again.....

 

Another photo... (I jacked it from vfrd - Toronto Bike Show)

 

so how do we get the fairing and tank parts for this combo in the u.s.? the cdn dollar is becoming reasonable again...

 

You can't get it in the U.S. you have to order it from Canada! By the way guys this colour scheme was announced 22 months ago for the European and Asian continents and Canada with limited shipments to Australia!

 

I'd love to see them bring that color scheme to the US. The white rims really close out the look. I plan to powdercoat mine next winter. White is a pain to keep clean but worth the trouble.

 

I really like this color scheme. I prefer light wheels to dark. But I always thought white would be too light. Sure looks good here, though.

 

How much does it cost to powder coat the wheels to white?

 

I think they don't have that scheme here is the fact that it could really start to look like a police bike in every one's rear view mirror.... oh wait......... that could be a good thing........

 

I went with this paint scheme. With the saddle bags on and my white jacket, very few people ride my butt on the freeway.

 

most places charge around $180 to do two bike wheels

dont forget you'll need to replace the bearings after they are coated

 

That is one beautiful color combination, sometime earlier on this site there was some chatter about this bike.It seems Europe ,Canada,Australia and the Asian countries always get the better paint. I would love to know how and why those decisions are made and why us guys in the States seem to get the run of the mill. Who got the price of $15k, one would think, with the Worlds economy, on hard times all of these big companies would be doing just about anything to sell bikes! eddie

 

specifically, where in canada would one find this? is there an equivalent to ron ayers or bikebandit in canada? thanks!

There are boat load of other powder coating companies in Michigan, this guy was just close to family.

 

Hey Howl; About a year ago I bought a few items from a dealer up there. I just told him that I was from the states and the items that I wanted weren't avail from here,so I got
all that stuff out of the way,like would he ship to the U.S. Once I established that, the rest was no big deal. Also I paid for the stuff with my Visa so there was no problen with
$ conversion and the like. eddie
