HI Everyone, Just sold my Ducati Hypermotard, and 999. Looking to buy a VFR 800 or 750 (looking to spend $4000 or less) any input on the best years, and what to look out for would be helpful. Thanks Matt
I'm going to make this short and sweet. $4000 will get you a '98 or '99 VFR800, which happens to be the BEST two years of these bikes. Here comes the incoming (ducks under bike) :chaingun: '98 and "99 don't have catalytic converters, but they do have gear driven cams and fuel injection. If you can find a 49 state bike that will be the frosting on the cake! One major problem is the cantankerous regulators. Do a search on this site and you will find lots of answers to that problem. Good luck ~
Thanks Bob I found one on cycletrader in Vallejo, it's got the mods I'd like done, see below 2002 Honda Vfr800, VALLEJO CA - 106750473 - Cycletrader.com the price/mods seem right, but I'm curious about potential issues, and whether the power to weight will keep me happy? and have a friend that has a 2000 gsxr1000 for the same price, it's cherry and only has 14k miles, I figure with lower pegs, heli bars and a corbin seat, it wouldnt be a bad ride (basically how I had an old TLR1000 set up) thoughts? you can email me direct is you like flynn_matt@yahoo.com best.
That price is fair fair for 02 I am sure with 4k you can find a better deal just have to look. +1 with Porchesbob statement above.
