    so thoughout my entire biking career, there's only been a few times I've had sellers remorse. I have a feeling this is one of those times. my bike is now listed on the forum classified.

    I've finally broke down and posted my 93 VFR in the classified. I'm giving the VFRW community first crack. I don't want to sell it but it really is just sitting in my garage going to waste. someone should be out riding it but I just don't ride it. Not sure why, love looking at it. I think it's a fear of damaging it. I felt like crap when I did a driveway drop about 3 yrs ago and I think that traumatized me. I have no problem flogging my 07 or my 97 but I never ride my 93.

    Sorry for the pointlessly long post, I think it may be a cry for help. Either way, it should go to a good home. And yes, I don't believe the price is unreasonable, like a parent thinks their ugly baby is the cutest thing in the world.

    You're going to regret it. It's paid for, you don't need the money... prep it for storage and keep it.

    DONT DO IT...do the storage routine, and cover. I'm sure down the road (get it) you will be happy you kept her.

    REEK - I know exactly what you're saying. I sold my mint 1986 line up (VF500F, VFR750F and VF1000R) 2 years ago now for the same reasons. I had no time to keep them running and never wanted to take them out for fear of damaging them. They were great to look at, but were taking up too much space. At this point, I still do not regret my decision. Good luck with the sale.

    yeah, I toyed with the storage idea as well. If I make a poor attempt at selling it and it sells, great. If not, I guess I'll store it. Its just ironic, the bike I've been wanting for decades, I finally get it and I never ride it. Yet the bike I've loathed (hated the look of them) for over a decade, my 4th gen, I love and ride all the time.
