Price: $3800obo

Description: Some unfortunate financial obligations have surfaced and I need to sell my bike (toys are always first things to go). The bike runs FLAWLESSLY. Starts every time and for those that don't know it is fuel injected not carb'd. The bike currently has just under 19k on the clock. Pretty much it's whole life it's spent below 6000rpm as it was a commuter/touring bike and that's what I've done on it until recently. I stopped doing touring on it and decided I wanted a sporty bike so I started setting it up for more 1-up back road riding. The bike has a LOT of modifications but they are very, very tasteful. Anyone who rides this bike will NOT be disappointed in the quality of parts and work put into the bike. I've always used Mobil 1 Motorcycle oil on the changes at 2500 miles.

This is how the bike looks currently.

 

That's one beautiful setup! I wish I had the money for it.

 

I have a '98 and love it, but I'd rather have yours! Very nice!

 

I hear you about trying to improve the sporting performance of the vfr. Still it is a 500 pound bike. I'm sure someone will enjoy it.

 

Didn't you just get that one????? Wish I had the money, she's be MINE!!

 

Taking the first $3000 for the next two weeks starting Monday (Aug 29)

 

Nice Bike!!!

 

I copied and pasted most of the ad from a generic "For Sale or Trade" doc I use so I don't have to re-type everything. Definitely missed it on this one, otherwise it would have been a "For Sale or Trade:..." Thanks for pointing it out.

 

Haha, thanks man. If priorities weren't what they were...I'd still be posting pics of the bike, whoring her out as much as possible It won't be my last bike but...I might have to bite the bullet and get a 6th gen next as I don't think I'll be able to find another 5th gen like this.

Anyway, a deposit has been made to hold the bike for this coming Wednesday.
