buying a 5th generation vfr..

I'm have been thinking about buying a vfr for a long time... I was going to go with a 5th generation, stock yellow :biggrin:. But, before I make the final decision I want to ride the new Vtech. Does anyone know of a vfr for sale, at a dealership, that is in Florida?? I have search online and No one has a 5th generation vfr....

Is there much difference between the 6th gen. v.s. the 5th gen.???
Plus, how much am I going to probably pay.. Also, what should I keep an eye out for?

 

Try Craigslist, you can find VFR's from 1990-2007, Here's a 2000 in Tallahassee...

Definately check Craigslist. I found my VFR on Craigslist last November and got a real good deal. I have a 5th gen 2k VFR and love it. I am not a fan of the VTEC, but that is a personal perference. There is currently a recall on the 2002 - 2006 Sixth Gen VFRs.. The 5th gen VFR is a great all around bike and better for touring - I really like the 4th gen VFRs and I feel it is a better bike for people who want to do trackdays (there are some people like me that think the 4th gen is the best VFR). I do like the 5th gen because it has fuel injection - the 4 Gen VFR has carburetors. The VFR achilles heel is the wicked rectifier relay issue which can be resolved. I have just recently had to deal with the dreaded rectifier relay issue. Best advice I can give you on this issue is to put a fan on the rectifier relay and purchase the modified OEM rectifier as a backup (glad I had the new backup R/R). Also get the battery checked and also make sure there are no overheating issues on the VFR. Very general opinion.

 

Got my 99 off Craigslist too. 43k miles, decently taken care of but needed a few tweaks. $3500.
