i want to buy a bike for this summer and i really like the feel of the vfr. I am in college so i dont have much money so i can only afford a 1st or second gen. i found an add in craigslist of a '84 vfr 700f. they only want 1000$ or trade for a car. i have a car to trade which is worth about the same. he has put a lot of work into the bike's vitals (electronics, brakes, cleaning out engine, etc.) but the cosmetics are pretty bad, also when he put the carbs back on he couldnt get them balanced and he says it is running rich. how much work will it take for me to get that fixed? and is it worth it?
if you only can spend a thousand right now wait and save some more.. then you will find a better bike 1k is hard to find anything that will not require attention good luck
man i think theres better deal's out there this joker is just dicking guys around or just has no sense what so ever... i gave 1500 bucks for my 500 which if it wasnt bone stock and in great condition then i would have passed it up!! like deepdish said just save your money, i know the bug's got you but just wait few more weeks or so to see what else comes along...:thumbsup:
