A VFR has been mutilated ...

I've been watching this ad for more than a year now ... always the same price, it never changes. The guy has absolutely bastardized this beautiful bike and cheapened it.

I'll bet if he returned the look back to stock (all one color and removed all the garbage decals) it would sell - even at the high price that he's asking for it.

 

LOL ... right? Keep in mind, that's in CAD, but still .. he's asking a lot for a mutilated bike. It looks like it was assembled with salvage parts with all those different colors.

Maybe if I was 18-21 years of age I might appreciate the look more??

 

I hate stickers.

 

my bike is far better-I got a bit over 10300 miles

 

In the spirit of Christmas, gotta agree with you on that one.

 

The decals only on one side of the tank are probably hiding something

 

He's from Winterpeg Manisnowba where they spread salt to the roads with a grader rather than a broadcast spreader.

 

Looks like it was a mutilation in progress. Some of his photos there are no stickers on the tank, then it's plastered with them. Then, in other photos
the sub frame and tail body pieces are red, while in others its black. Weird.

 

Like I said, he is from Winterpeg Manisnoba. He claimed it was dry and heat stored in the winter. There, that is 9 months of the fucking year. He probably applied, removed and re-applied these stickers several times through every winter to stop the onset of madness

 

LMFAO ... only pussies store their bikes for 6-9 months of the year. Mine only gets stored for 3-4 months.

 

I never actually store my bike ever, take cover off and ride, in fact I may ride tomorrow-50 degree and sunny-a record warm day. I think its a good idea to ride a little to dry up water then let it just sit and fall apart.

 

I thought stickers made bikes go faster? ;-)

 

I am with you there! Stickers are ads for someone else, cover up cosmetic problems on a bike or, like the huge M&R sticker on the fairing, makes no sense. Judging by the truck in the picture this guy must fancy himself a bit of a custom builder. He is in the same category as the guys that by a 400cc commuter bike, with no title, and then cut the rear frame loop off making it a "Custom."

 

mine has no stickers, never gets stored, gets ridden more than the other 3 bikes and still looks good, sounds good and is completely stock. 2007 R/W/B.

 

I hate stickers too ... the only sticker I ever put on the bike is the one from my employer (very proud of my employment), and it's about 1" high by 3" long ... it goes on the tail fender.

Other than that, I love the clean look of the bike. I intend on removing the stock VFR decals from the fairings on my bike and replacing it with the raised chrome VFR emblem that comes on the EU 6th gens. It looks so much cleaner to me.

 

My Viffer came with two small American flag stickers on ether side of then stock wind screen. I kept them.

 

Nothing wrong with national pride?

 

That's a good look IMO, I'm biased towards that bike though. I didn't remove any of the factory badging (stickers) though as it's the 25th anniversary model and kind of special (as is yours obviously) in that regard.
