    Well, let's face it. The weather is turning cold. And nothing warms the soul better than the anger associated when finding out that someone bought something VFR related at a FRACTION of the cost that you did. Now, just to increase the boiling point, I'm going to wait a little while before posting up my "GOLDEN EGG" story... But I do know of a couple people on here that know what I'm talking about. So please don't ruin it for the others, let the angry simmer, then boil over later...

    just a hint. It related to a "USED" 25th Anniversary...

    Let the drama begin LOL No super killer jealous deals here other than just lucky I found the VFR I have being a one owner low mile perfect condition for what I thought to be a fair price of $2900. I also had good timing with the the US dollar flopping vs the Euro, as I just squeaked in a pretty neat price for the WP Shock I have, now they are like thrice that. Mmm what else, Oh yea my killer deal on the Spidi suit that retails for $900+ Yea good ole ebay came through big time.. @ $175.00 that was pretty sweet

    Absolutely! Just so you know, I'm wearing Sidi B-2 boots that I paid $225 for and I thought it was a great deal. So now I'm all warm and fuzzy knowing someone paid $100 less for them... :mad: SEE, IT'S WORKING!!

    '85 VF700 $800. Is that good? I liked it.
    Member of this forum= $0 I think that was the best deal so far this year. One of these days, I'll ante up for the full membership.

    ok, time to break out the big guns... but first, a question...

    what would you expect to pay for a 2007 Honda VFR 25th Anniversary with 516 miles on it? Showroom condition.

    (This is actually well after the purchase date, after having added the Microns, removed the rear fender, and passenger pegs.)
