    Looking for a cherry 1993 gen 3 in white, showroom quality. Not having much luck. The ones I have looked at look great in photo's but not so much in person. Maybe ya'll can help me find one. Will travel to fetch said beast and would prefer a non California model.

    Miles are open if it is flawless but the lower the better........for a showroom peach I am reluctant to say what I would give for one.

    Maybe you should post up a thread on a VFR site and see if...

    WTF? NO!

    I was thinking aboot it, what do ya'll think is a fair price for lets say a gen3 with 10k on the clock in perfect condition? I am curious what ya'll think.

    4k. tops. thats about as high as id go for a gen 3, and thats only to allow for the fact that youre being quite as specific as you are.

    I think that $3000-$3500 is a realistic price range for a stock low mileage bike you are seeking. If it has upgrades such as suspension, exhaust, etc. someone might be able to get $4000 tops.

    Here is one in Brentwood, TN that is low mileage but overpriced at $4500.

    1993 HONDA VFR 750

    Another overpriced one in Denver for $4700 and low miles

    93 Honda VFR 750F 11,500 miles Fresh Major Service

    Here is one that is a steal for $1200 and only 19k miles in NJ

    1993 Honda VFR 750

    The one in Brentwood I have had my eye on, fly oot and ride home sounds like fun. The one in Colorado is missing the decals on the tail and mid's, a non starter.

    This is where the map would come in handy, money says we have a member close enough to go look at the one in Tennessee if I could talk them down to a realistic dollar amount.

    If you're interested in the one in NJ, lemme knoo. I can reach oot to a couple friends and cousins oot there to see if they'd be willing to check it oot for ya. Most of my family and friends oot there are mechanics of some sort or another and ride motorcycles. So, they'd be pretty good judges... might even be able to take pics to send... although my brother is probably the only person I know who does not have a cell phone.... :tongue:

    I'm sure MiddleTbabb would ride out and look at it for you. I'd check it out but I'm never home. Send him a pm he's a nice guy and always looking for a reason to go for a ride

    Why not be totally different and go for the 92 model, Granite Blue is the colour but most people say its black. If i was going for one of those bikes, I would want one that did'nt have the tail section hacked off by a twat...but thats just ME tawking of course.

    Btw, I wont part with my 91 with dah blew body work no matter how much doh you throw at me :smile:

    Get better soon

    Your magnaminous offer almost makes me want to sell mine, ALMOST.

    Sorry, thats one bike thats never getting sold, and I know how dangerous it is to make that statement.

    How many bikes do you need? Personally I don't think anyone should have more bikes then they can count on one hand. I guess that puts you at kind of a disadvantage... J/k
