Looks like the prior owner might have let the coolant go a little long between changes. Have you looked at the bottom of the water pump? The...
Typical dragging VFR800 front brakes, did you see how quickly the front wheel came to a stop?
very nice!
VTEC, YO! (it kicks in)
Fuel filter?
I agree with your philosophy, a 20 year old bike is a 20 year old bike. It sounds like your point of view is the same as mine: I wanted to own a...
I haven't seen "bad ECU" being a thing with VFRs. Since this bike is "new to you" it might be worthwhile to give it a good going-through, just a...
Same as with cars that are no longer in production (if you're serious about the model): "buy the best example you can find" You won't regret it....

You might have an answer to the mystery. Maybe the bike that the poster (2000 Red VFR) of this thread has purchased is actually a European model...
I think the Yellow only for 2000 was a U.S. thing. Every other country always got more color choices than the U.S. Europe got Black and Dark...
Yes, I saw the picture of your bike's VIN, it verifies the fact that your bike is a 2000. The picture that we're all waiting to see is the...
I've heard of situations where two VFR owners have made complete fairing trades due to individual color preference. So there are/were cases of...
What we're saying to you is, the 2000 year model VFR800 wasn't offered in red, maybe it's a 2001? I think that the date code digit in the VIN...
Damn... respect. From watching your RVF400 thread I recognize and admire your parts-gathering skilz.
looking forward to seeing the pictures from this upcoming deep-dive into the engine.
