137,000+kms. Runs very well and has been incredibly reliable.

- Givi Wingrack with E21s and 46l topbox.

- Givi Touring windscreen. Original screen as well.

- Genmar bar risers installed.

- Solo seat cover (one tab broken, which I have).

- Two Brothers slip on ... V4 sound with the Two Brothers is one of a kind.

- Also comes with optional center-stand.

- Tool Kit

- Owners' Manual

- Original Passenger Grab Rails

Plastics are in great shape. The rear center cowl has some broken tabs (it is 29 years old). Although it has it's idiosyncrasies, it is an amazing bike.

It will need tires and fork seals. Maybe front brake pads.

Two owner machine. I've owned this bike for 16 years, bought it in April 2004. Full 29 year maintenance history available.

$2800 as is.

Pics attached.

Located in the Greater Toronto Area.

 

Thanks for looking!

My ad has been viewed by many ... no takers?? Bummer.

I need a more upright ride and more capable two-up machine. Looking at both an FJR or CBF1000. (need to sell before I buy)

My question .... would I be better off parting out the VFR? Seems to be a shame to do that .... any feedback is appreciated.

 

Location is probably the biggest reason.

Mileage is not really relevant on 90 - 97 VFRs, but it doesn't help. And needing tires, fork seals and brakes is a fairly steep upfront additional cost.

 

Thanks Capt'n.

Location more so than the other qualities. It's a solid ride. Curious if it is more valuable in parts than whole?

 

It is possible. That generation bodywork is very hard to find and the rear wheel is desirable. But man, don't do that.

 

rear wheel is 350 all day long, uppers, mids, lowers are anywhere from 200 to 50 - tail sections could go for 125 a side, rear fender I paid 200 shipped for an undisturbed one (yours is not.) front wheel with rotors and calipers could get you 250 or so. Seat and exhaust system is worth maybe 250-300 - your Givi stuff is worth maybe 300 with shipping. Remember your dealing with a 30 year old motorcycle, you have to have someone that really, really has a hard on for this exact model. (ME) your location is not the greatest either. I did'nt mention engine as the shipping would be a PITA and they rarely go bad. These are US Dollars too

You have no shock on your bike, (both of my gen3 bikes have a Fox/Penske rear shock - front ends have fork springs and gold valves on one. Both bikes have upgraded R/Rs and one has a new stator/oem wiring harness (read $400 list for oem wiring harness for this bike, not even available anymore!)

I hate to see people break a nice bike like this, its not perfect but a very unique example. I would buy your 2 brothers for what ever its worth and send you a stock can in decent nick if you wana go that route. Givi stuff is great but I would not tour on my bikes and would buy some consumable used bike to ride across country and then just sell in Seattle or Alaska or whererever.

Peace and good luck

 

The market just won't bear that asking price. You're priced too close to much newer equipment and there are other 3rd gen bikes for sale in our area for less. Are they better? Difficult to say without comparing them side by side but I can tell you that I only paid $750 Canadian for mine with half the miles of yours, not that mileage has much to do with it but it's all about perception. Today that's a $1600 CDN bike in the Ontario market IMHO. So yes, you may get more for it in parts with some effort. I hope it finds a new / good home here in Ontario. Have you advertised it on the Ontario VFR mailing list? There are still a few die-hard enthusiasts over there.

 

Ridervfr ... thanks!

Gives me a good idea about pricing.

Parting out is not my first choice. At this stage, I do want something different. As this Gen is somewhat of a niche bike, I anticipated and now perhaps realize that it might be a hard one to move, hence the idea of parting it. (Economic times could also be a factor holding it back.)

Haven't yet found an alternative that I want to purchase.

Still weighing out my options. Greatly appreciate the feedback. (You have dibs on the Two Brothers.)

 

Hey Jethro.
Thanks for the input. Perhaps. I understand things are only worth what people are willing to pay. And there is only on way to find out ...

A friend of mine put it up on the ONTVFR site. The Gen 3s do have a good following, and in short supply of whole bikes and parts.
Thanks. I see you're a VFR die-hard! Nice!

 

Regarding your two up, depends where and how long your trips are, and how much two-up. I have had both the FJR and CBF1000, both are good for two up in their own way, the FJR being more long distance and a little more room. I sold my FJR and prefer the lighter weight CBF1000, but I don't do much two-up. CBF1000's can be had for toy money with low miles, similar power to weight ratio, very nimble, hard to go wrong. Take your pillion and go sit on one, you'll likely want an aftermarket seat with either of FJR or CBF.

 

Hi Ray,
Yes, weighing out those options.
