1998 Honda VFR800FI

Unread postby PirateRiderBen » Wed Apr 15, 2015 6:44 pm

This bike is in great shape. Always garaged. Fuel injected 800cc V4, 6 speed. Serviced last spring at Ron Ayers and has maybe 2000 miles since. Oil changed and fresh inspection 4-17-2015. Comfortable sport touring legend. Includes Corbin seat, Delkevic slip on, Heli bars, center stand, Givi windscreen (not pictured), Eclipse tank and tail bags, service manual, and all stock parts as well. Clean NC title. Also have rear seat cowl. Ready to ride. Low miles at only 32k. Do some reading VFR's regularly go over 100k. 3500$ cash only. May consider some trades for other bikes if they tickle my fancy. Many of you have seen this bike and know it is in very very good shape. Let me know if you have any questions. I also have a couple dozen pictures upon request.

Garage first, third bike later. Looking to remodel and/or move Spring 2016 when student loans are more manageable. Already have two bikes that take up most of my "garage" and need to become a ballerina / contortionist to service one of them while the other is still there. I couldn't live with myself if any of them have to sit outside. Plus, Ben knows I won't pay what he is asking, even though it is probably worth that much to the right buyer, considering its condition. If I buy a 5th gen, it will end up a track bike after a major diet and electrical re-wiring, and I would prefer not to do that to his VFR. One can never have too many VFRs...

It was more buying frustration than paying money. I wasn't charged for the extra time and the VFR soaked up the extra miles. Had a great talk with the store owner and he agreed that it was unacceptable. I understand they are short staffed, but I expect expert work in a reasonable amount of time. I emphasized our common bond of love for riding exceptional motorcycles with an emphasis on safely constructed motorcycles. I'm hoping they plan to hire additional qualified mechanics. I find it amazing that people complain there are no jobs available when the reality is people don't want to put in work to get the training. <olfart>

I may be wrong, but I will probably take the bike back to them with a reasonable time frame for the service to be done among other expectations and think I will get a fair deal.

Someone buy Ben's VFR!
