    Just joined and hope to purchase a 2007 VFR SE with ABS.
    Will look at it this weekend!
    Been off bikes for a while and need a good commuter ride. My last bike as a cruiser so I'm new to the sport bike world.
    Looking forward to it!
    Matt

    What are the details - miles, condition, modifications, etc.? We might be able to give you some tips on what to look for based on the details. Welcome to the forum.

    That sounds really good. Are you buying from a dealer or individual? At this point, I'd then try to determine how many previous owners there have been and if you're fortunate enough to be dealing with the original owner, then you can discuss the maintenance history. That will give you a real good feel for how the bike was cared for. Again, with what you've described, it sounds like there is little to be worried about. Any more info at this point would just be gravy. In the end, it will probably boil down to the price. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

    What is sex?

    Welcome for sure. Actually no one here is crazy. We are all a serious bunch. There are many here with valuable insight on just about anything motorcycle related. I am not one of those.

    I bought the bike from the original owner. He works at the dealer so the bike has had all the required services. Its in mint condition and just had the 8K service and new tires installed. A power port was installed for heated clothing.
    Took it for a test ride and hit 108, was smooth as glass! What a fun ride.
    It has an unlimited miles extended warranty with roadside assistance till 2015.
    I got it for $5700.
    I really love the 25th Anniversary paint scheme, its a beautiful bike. Now I need to find a better seat as this will be a commuter bike.
    Any suggestions?
    Matt Thomas

    108 on the test ride? I bet you can't wait to try the other two gears!

    Welcome

    :worthless:

    As I mentioned in chat, you will find Sargent lovers, Corbin lovers and everyone else. It seems that the Sargents are preferred on our bikes.
