Is the VFR1200 Dead in the United States?

So should Reg flash his roll and offer the guy $7500 ? A really slick move there is to wrap a hundred around a bunch of ones giving the impression ya really mean business. The problem with that is that the bike is in Reno and every third dude feeding a slot is doing the same number and wearing polyester and a Walmart faux Stetson.

 

I think you are correct and the dealer is mistaken. This from under the seat of mine...........

Last line says it all I believe.

 

You go boy!

 

Sounds like we have a winner!

 

Although I don't know that anyone ever got an OTD price from Al Lamb. I don't know if it's worth $500+ more to Reg to get a brand spanky new one, vs a used one. Kind of a personal decision.

Hey Reg, what kind of slip-on is on that one in Reno? Only reason I ask is because if for example it were a Two Bros, well, they're fairly inexpensive anyway. You can buy them off Ebay all day long for under 5 bills depending on the can material/finish. But if it were say an Akro or a DAM or something expensive like that, it might affect the "value factor". Ya know what I mean? A slip-on install is quick and easy. Just food for thought.

 

DD, if the Reno '12 is in near mint condition and still has a good portion of the warranty left, it will likely be the better deal. Dallas is a long way from Calif, and for new bike sales, I believe the buyer has to sign papers at the store. You'll have to add a plane ticket to the cost plus the logistics to get the bike back to CA, whether riding or shipping.

Does not hurt to make a few phone calls just to check though.

 

Don't mean to interfere but one thing doesn't sound right to me:

If that was the reason, why did he take it? Can he recuperate his investment enough by selling to another state? And if so, why didn't the others do the same?

Dunno, sounds a bit iffy to me to be honest, unless I'm missing something.

 

Following most of this "advice" from the "experts" sounds like the only thing that will be missing are big pesos from Reg's bank account or maybe the engine is missing too.

 

A Victory, that's what I missed. Thanks, it makes more sense now.

Ah well, not to worry, they're not going anywhere. From the sound of mine, it'll do 100k miles easily. Not with me on it but the next owner will be a happy bunny I'm sure.

 

Almost everyone has recuperated from this clusterfuck.. Whew!

 

Reg if you decide to buy one in dallas let me know i will come along with you and flash my bank roll at the dealer? who knows maybe get a better deal.otstir:

On a more serious note if you do I am straight down 20 or a 40 min flight away and I would love to test ride a bike the same day. might be able to get a group rate for buying multiple bikes? what is the dealrs name? I will check out the site for one too. Looking for a 1k plus bike. I need a new something to play on.

i have a briefcase lined with pictures of $100 bills, works every time, i paid $19.95 plus postage and handling for my VFR

 

there might be some interesting ideas in the pipeline.
i read an tech article about a honda patent app for a tube frame showing a V-4 stuffed inside,
and then this looks pretty cool as well
