I wiill own this 1998 model on Friday. w00t!

Found this on craigslist. The guy wanted $4195. I asked if he would take $3800, which is probably a tad high. I have the cash and I want it so... yeah. :crazy:

The first pic is one that shows some fairing damage where if fell over in the driveway. Other than that I think it looks pretty clean.

 

Sweet looking bike. Good luck with the purchase.

 

Looks good. Like the high mount exhaust.
Welcome aboard.

 

Thanks guys! I look forward to getting this bike.

 

I talked to him tonight and he is going to trailer it down to my place for me. Very cool.

 

awesome!


those 5th gens are beautiful. but i do want to kick the guy who decided not to integrate the front signals into the fairing in the balls.

 

I love it. beautiful bike. I am in the market for one, but they cost too much for me. you did get a decent deal, i just cant afford one yet. very soon tho. Welcome on brother. I hope to go gen 5 soon. I will follow your threads if you make any, cause gen 5 is my goal. I will always have my beloved 1st gen tho .
Spend time here and you will meet a rich community like none other in the moto forums.
Good to have you here.

 

Thanks guys!

I rented a 2008 while I was in California last year and liked it quite a lot. I talked myself into a CBR and it's a great bike, but not too good to ride for more than an hour or so. So, recently I have been looking for a VFR. I found a 1991 model that looks really good not far from here with 22k on it. Then I found this 98 model and decided to go with that.

 

good find! welcome aboard and enjoy the bike! i bet you can't wipe that grin from your face!

 

I put 160 miles on it on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, I dropped the bike in my garage that same morning. I learned a valuable lesson. Do not have the side stand down while taking the bike down from the center stand. It's bad medicine.

Scuffed the right side up a bit, not bad... but broke the brake lever. My new friend Tom in Clarksville helped me out with a replacement lever and windscreen so all is well. =)

I have a Sargent seat on it's way. Should be here when I get back from California. w00t!

 

ouch........valueable saftey tip.........at least it was in the garage where no one else saw....
