    Pretty sure it's from over the pond. but was wondering, looks to good to be a re paint? Maybe. But then on another post on the site showed a 6th gen somewhat like

    The owner makes a comment from an inquire that it's factory. I've never seen em that way, but then, I don't live over where ever they are either.

    The 5th gens white seems to be different on tank and rear. Maybe it's just the lighting? Both of then are definitely unique! That 6th gen is smokin'!

    Love the look of that 6th gen.

    Both look to be either repaint or Chinese replacement body panels

    20160705_224856-1.jpg 20160706_160015-1.jpg I like the red but my other motorcycle is a 2014 Yamaha FJR1300 that is red as well. Decided the VFR was going to get a graphics update. I am happy with it and now my wife does not say "They look like the same bike!"
