    A 164,000 mile 5th gen is up for auction on Ebay. It looks surprisingly good, & currently has 6 bids.

    Yeah where's the link? That is awesome if true. All bikes can do that if maintained. I hate when people say bikes have high mileage with less than 20,000 on the clock. High Mileage???? Bah!

    I was wondering if it was the same one listed in the Nashville area Craig's List a couple of weeks back. It had that many miles on it...

    Yeah I posted a link to this bike a couple of months age. He lives just outside of Nashville TN and was originally asking something like $4500.00:crazy:

    Warning, please do not purchase this as a first bike. This is a fast bike that can outperform a Ferrari.

    I'd describe that dent as a little more than a small dent. I think given the miles and the dent and the scratches, I probably wouldn't go much higher than the current $800 that it is currently listed for just in case there are other things he forgot to mention... Good to see one getting some good mileage, though.

    Oh, also I thought the vfr did 0-60 in 2.9 secs? He says 3.2... Is that correct?

    I dont know but Im sure the C6 Vette I out performed from a stop with my full GiVi Bags was having to come up with some excuse to his girlfriend :)

    Manufacturer (Make) Honda
    Model Name VFR 750 F
    Year 1997
    Category(class) Sport-touring
    Engine
    Engine Capacity (Displacement) 748 ccm (45.65 cubic inches)
    Engine Type V-type, 4 cylinders
    Stroke 4
    Valves per Cylinder 4
    Starter System Electronic
    Cooling System Liquid
    Powertrain
    Gearbox 6 speed
    Chassis/Suspension/Brakes
    Front Brakes Dual disc
    Rear Brakes Single disc
    Dimensions
    Seat Height 800 mm (31.5 inches)
    Dry Weight 209 kg (461 lb)
    Performance
    Max Power 105.00 HP (76.6 kW)
    Max Torque 74.00 Nm (54.41 ft*lbs)
    Power/Weight Ratio 0.45 Hp/Kg
    Top Speed 240 km/h (149mph)
    Acceleration (dart, speedup) time
    0-100 km/h 4 seconds
    0-60 mph 3.8 seconds




    The new C6 gets an overhaul of the suspension geometry, all new bodywork with exposed headlamps (for the first time since 1962), a larger passenger compartment, and a larger 6.0 L (≈366 cu in) engine. Overall, shorter and narrower than the C5, to gain wider appeal to the European market. The 6.0 L LS2 V8 produces 400 hp (298 kW) at 6000 rpm and 400 ft·lb (542 N·m) of torque at 4400 rpm. Its redline is increased to 6500 rpm. With a 0-60 time of less than 4.2 seconds, it places this sixth generation Corvette into a true supercar status.


    I guess that makes my Bike into SUPER BIKE status :)
