    :crazy: Well, maybe not totally crazy.

    Looking at a VFR800 next week, way over priced, 2007.

    Had a HONDA CB400 before.

    Hi and welcome to the MadHouse:welcome:


    Even if the price is wrong I hope you enjoy the test-ride. Once you hear that v four roar, and discover what happens when you cross the vtec threshold you will be hooked...

    As for prices in the Phillipines - I guess you will need to do your homework - certainly a few minutes on google found this

    honda vtec | Motorcycles for sale Philippines | Ayosdito.ph

    Hopefully it may give you an idea of the prices sellers would like people to pay. Whether they actually sell at those prices is something I guess the locals will be better able to advise.

    Good luck and if you join the happy band of V4 owners it will be great to see pictures...

    Take care

    That converts out to about $6900 for an 07 with 12k miles a little high i'd probably offer him 6k for it

    I don't think the roads there justify riding a big bike like that.

    Magandang gabi sayo !!

    Unfortunately, the import duties on vehicles entering PH will double the new price. This will also relate to used vehicles when they are resold.

    Minimum price for a Honda Super 4, 1995-1996 is about $3,250. Another 2007 VFR800 is offered at $11,250. Another 2004, low mileage VFR800 went for $11,25, fully fitted with bags etc. Yea, crazy, I know.

    Fortunately I am near the Expressways in Luzon, so partial travel is on nice highways. 100K per Hour Max in PH, nationwide, 50KPH.

    Oh well, gasoline, regular unleaded is only about $6.00 per gallon. Traffic? Ciaos!

    Any PI, PH riders ok to contact me, or if your might visit.

    Ciao, Merot
