    Those actually look really great! Shipping for a large part like a tail or upper front fairing would probably be a lot for overseas but what I'm really looking for is a new tail. Something a little thinner and more modern looking then the tail on the fourth-fifth gen VFRs. The front end will just get the single headlight treatment and I'll buy a self-contained set of gauges. Thanks for the help superflex, I'm going to e-mail them about shipping costs, I hope someone there speaks English hehe.

    Looks just like a Honda NS650 GT Hawk, Why don't you p/u one of those or a Honda Super Hawk, I know there twins, but they handle & ride great as well as being closer to what you are looking for in a naked fun factor bike.

    there's alway's the Honda 919 also !

    If you really want a VFR naked bike, find a older narrower VF 750 or 1000 that could easily convert to a naked bike, than the newer VFR's.

    I'm interested in seeing what the NS650 is like, but I can't seem to find anything (did you mean NX650, typo)? The Superhawk is unfortunately too many cc's for me lol. My insurance company's medium insurance bracket ends at 750cc, and going up to 1000cc would make it considerably more expensive for me, and I'm not too sure I'd be comfortable on a liter bike, even if it is a V-twin heh.

    I'd love to do a VFR fighter if it could be done in a cost effective way. My only other alternative would be a first gen SV650, but I'd still like something more original, and possibly a bit cheaper as most SVs I've seen for sale this spring are upwards of $4500 CDN.

    (Typo :eek: NT 650 Hawk not NX, I belive NX was a Dual Sport model?) keep a eye out for the 650 Hawk, they may have less HP than the SV 650 but you can p/u cheaper & will easily out handle the SV's in the Canyons & the track (I used to own a gen 1 SV650 track prepped)

    The Super hawk is about the same HP as the VFR, but it is a very usable & controlable HP, as well as that torque can save your ass where a VFR will have to spool up to get there.

    Insurance, some Co's suck & others are OK, but I don't have a clue how canada operates there sytems & rates.

    remember though a VFR is considered a sport bike, & a Super Hawk is considered a sport Tourer (at least by State Farm Ins.) & even more CC's was & is cheaper to insure on my policies.

    I p/u my (for my daughter) '89 650 Hawk with 20,000 miles on it in Expensive So. Cal. for $2800.00 & $2800 - $3200.00 U.S., is about what they normally go for in good to great condition.

    Hmm it sounds like it's worth an inquiry to my insurance company. When I had my first bike I searched around a lot and the consensus of bikers in my area is that my company is the cheapest (The Co-operators). I've only had good experiences with them and going on that I'd hope that they're sensible enough to categorize the Superhawk as sport tourer haha. I know they categorize the SV as a sport so it gives me hope that a larger sport tourer might be close to the cost of a medium sportbike. I'll look into the 650 Hawk as well, it might end up being closer to what I'd like to spend. Thanks a bunch for the help Taz!
