    JMHonda in Miami, FL.

    They may have one left? They had 3 or 4 about a week ago.

    True. And like swimming or riding a bicycle, one has to spend a LOT of time on the VFR to become "one with the bike". Just opinion, but if more people did this and strengthened core muscles there would be fewer lowered peg and raised clip on kits. Just another opinion. My VFR is a very comfortable motorcycle stock from the factory except for clip on muffler.

    I just talked to the salesman, they have three left and the 2019 price is $6799, but he told me if someone had cash and asked nicely, they'd probably sell it for $5999.
    Ask for ChrisB@ JMHonda of Miami.

    Randy should call them and see if they have a white one. It might be worth paying import fees if he gets it that cheap.

    If he rides his down and rides a white one back, they might not even notice... ;)

    I bet the shipping form Florida to northern Washington State would be 25% f the cost of the bike. Even at the 2019 prices, if I could find one close to BC, I would jump at it. Gotsta be white though. Its a thing.

    What a great deal. I'm envious, but I'll admit that I thought the price I got 2 1/2 years ago was a good one. So I'll just wish you well on the new bike. Red IS the correct color. There's a white VFR here on the island, but I just get no thrill when I see it. Red gets the heart beating.

    That's a great price. I picked up a 2014 new base two years ago in Wisc for $6,500 and thought I did well.

    Who did you use to ship it if you don't mind me asking?

    So it was $6000 OTD plus shipping or did you pay some dealer fees? I assume you will pay the tax in Mi when you register it correct?

    Dealers here in CA have bot STD & DLX in Red...$7999 OTD for STD & $8999 for DLX. Thinking of picking one up to part next to my Ducati Hypermotard 939SP as my first bike I ever bought was a 1987 VFR 700 with the gear driven cams & I have a soft spot for how well the VFR’s are built.

    I paid $6700 OTD, and I will have to pay my state sales tax. I also had to pay shipping. So all said and done, it was $8k. I'm happy with that.

    Looks vaguely familiar, you will love it. Take good care of it and it might last 36 years like my first one!

    Yes you got a great deal as out here in Cali the STD one is $8k OTD & the DLX is $9k.

    Interestingly Honda still has more than the ones the blew out to the dealers. They are not offering single unit discounts to dealers so for guys who want one I would try & grab what’s on shroom floors now. Of course they will probably auction off the rest next year. They also dumped a bunch of the CBR 600RR’s too.
