I like to know the history if posible when I buy a used bike. Heres my VFR750FH -87 History. 4 owners before me. First owner live 3 houses from me, and all from same town. 2nd and 3rd was a father and son, 4th a younger guy that then trade it to a car after they got a child. And I then buoght it from the car shop 2001. The shop that sold it is still in same building, selling mostly scoters, atv:s and boats today. I hapen to work in same building every 3rd week. For a different firm that lease space from the shop. It had 51tkms when I buoght it and now 70tkms. I did modifications winter 2003-04. And still some small modifications to do.
My bike was bought brand new by the previous owner in 1999 in Great Britain. He rode it all 18,500 miles before he moved to the US and traded the bike in for a new bmw K1200R at the dealership I worked in. I first saw it the first time when they had just taken it as a trade. It was sitting outside, getting washed and something grabbed me by the loins and set in that I had to have it. The very next day, I rode it home in 29 degree Fahrenheit weather : ).
My first VFR an 1986 VFR700F2 was purchased brand new when I lived north of Philly in Devon Township from Devon HonDa It has been mine for all that time with the exception of my little brother had it for the time I was in the Navy ( six years) it has never been titled out of my name. right now it is in pieces in my shop cracked rear header needing to be replaced head is at a machine shop as I was removing the last nut the exh stud broke. It is always something. SHe has 62000miles on her and she still pulls strong. I think She got jealous when I bought the new Bike. that is why she broke. my second VFR is a 2006 VFR800. she is my dream girl. bought her brand new from Garrett Honda in Kenner, LA. Ride her often I LOVE THAT BIKE.
Getting Mine today . An 06 Model With 11 00km On it . Previous Owner traded it In on a Quad bike after his Wrists started going numb on long distance trips . I got it for Trade instead of the usual floor price , wasn't even Shopping for a bike , but i took one look at this thing and decided right there and then I wasnt letting someone else get the damn Bike . Would've preferred the Red one , but got a Black/Charcoal One instead . Ah well .. 5 hours and counting ...
