hey guys! i'm not entirely new to the VFR scene, but i've never owned one personally. i'm looking to buy an '01, but recently i've found an rc46 on ebay. it says it's a german version, but basically the same. i'm clueless to jdm or european versions. are they the same bike mechanically? and would it be in my best interest to get the rc46 over an "ordinary" vfr? if the resale of the german version stays higher that would be an ok reason. but if finding parts is a prob(dont see why) then i'll pass. hoping someone can clear up some of the confusion! THANX! -keith
The guy on ebay is on crack. All 98-01 are rc46. Buy from someone that knows what they are talking about.
thanks for the heads up! i'm new to the model codes and specs, and never heard the term RC46 before. i'm glad someone knew the answer to that. do you know anyone with a nice vfr for sale? near ohio possibly? gotta try!-keith
RC46 was the internal factory code Honda used for the VFR800. If you look at the chassis #, it will start with RC46. :smile:
Here's on ein Rhode Island. Depending on where you are in ohio, it might not be too bad, and it looks like a pretty good bike, and no reserve! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hond...ewItemQQcategoryZ50003QQitemZ4602080957QQrdZ1
