Glad you worked it out..
Interesting dealership story too!

As long as your new snotty VFR friends are OK with it!


I like the sticker. That ought to boost the HP..

Looks like you made out well on this deal!
(True that about Kat prices.. craigs list is full of over priced ones!)

The Wife is OK with it...however she really does prefer the look of the Kat and was dissapointed that we could not find one reasonably priced.

LOL...I don't have VFR fiends yet...and as of right now...I do not plan on joining any VFR forums...I may need to at some point for VFR specific stuff. But for now I am very comfortable with Kat Riders and plan on staying on the forum.

As for the stickers...the Kids refused to let me remove it and now the wife has nicknamed the bike "Jims Woody" so I guess they are there to stay..

I bought the viffer for about $1000 (out the door after tax and etc) more than want I got for my Kat.

I assume this is a typo.

No Typo...The guy who hit my bike paid me $5000 (I only paid $4000 for it when I bought it)...I used that and an Additional $1000 to pay for the viffer...so $6000 (includes tax tags and etc.) OTD for the viffer.

Sounds about right to me if he drives a good bargin or the dealer likes him...
'05 Kat, and he got $5k for it from the guy who backed over it.
Walk into a dealership and buy an used '03 Honda VFR800 for about $6k (note: no mention of what mileage the VFR had on it, but I think I see 4658 miles in the pic of the odo).

A lot of VFR owners are walking away from the later models because of the cost of the valve maintenance adjustment service on the VTec set-up; the pre-VTec seem to be the "more desirable" version for the VFR-fanatics... And that is driving used prices down some on the VTec versions. NADA lists used values for an '03 as $5050 low-retail, $6645 average-retail (for good/near-mint condition). $6k is reasonable given all that.

VFR is a nice bike good luck dude.

[SKNL2]

OH. So $6000 and not 10K(typoed down to 1K). I get it now. The sentence was hard to read with "more than want I got for my Kat" on it.

I love love love love love the VFRs. Nice find.
