Got a 99 VFR now

Been bombing around on my VF 500 and looks like I have to do the timing chain guides. Thing runs great till I hit 4000rpm under load then it rattles like a coffee can full of marbles until it's not under load. Because a lot of my friends got back into riding I needed something that wouldn't leave me stranded a few hundred km from home if something let go in the engine. Found a super clean 99 with 80,000km (50,000 mi) that was very well maintained and has never been dropped or abused. He already had a new chain put on, new tires, new brake pads and a resent oil change. Payed $2500cdn for it and I'm real happy with it.


BUT IT'S RED (yuck)

The only thing I had to do was a quick rear caliper service on the rear slider pins as they were sticking a little.Came with a Corbin seat, Tool kit and manuals (Oem and shop manual) and all the parts for the grab handles.

 

Congrats, man!!! She looks great and you stole her at that price!!

 

2500 hundred CND, Wowser, what a steal.

 

Ok I've now had the bike for 2 weeks. I couldn't be happier it rides great, pulls like a fright train and sounds wild with the cams. Put almost 1000km on it and will be doing an oil change next fill up. Friend took it for a quick spin and fell in love with it. He had a Turbo Busa at one time and his current rides are an 2009 Aprilia 125gp 2 stroke and a 92 CBR900 Fireblade. Another Friend just got into riding and has a CBR600 F4i and he kept asking me why I liked the VF's and VFR's so much so I let him take it for a quick boot........ 3-4 minutes later he comes back with a shit eating grin on his face and says "Holy Fuck that thing has Torque, sounds like a freaking jet at 10,000rpm and is real comfortable to ride". Next day he's on Kijiji (Crag's list in Canada) looking for a VFR as his next bike.

Other then being RED (I hate red Vehicles) I'm not going to touch it other then regular up keep.

 

Score-- it looks great---
Enjoy
