    FS: 1995 VFR (Pics Added)

    I've spent a year with the VFR and love the bike, but it's time to drive my wife nuts and make her start looking at millions of pictures of new bikes again.

    1995 VFR (from the sweet sounding age of gear-driven cams )

    - Just over 7k miles, and adding 200 or so per month
    - New upgraded regulator/rectifier
    - New battery
    - New(er) Metzler Sportec Z-6 tires (sport-touring tires with under 2k on them)
    - Rear cowl and removable passenger grab rails included

    Asking $3,750.

    New Pics taken on 16 Jul 07. Sorry that it's a little dirty, but the bike had just been out for around 120 miles.

    Do it! You know you want to!

    If you need references, OSIRIS might be willing to give one based on the RC that he bought from me last year.

    I trust you, but man, that would be really um...unadvisable, on my part.

    I just bought another gear spinner. And I don't want to sell the MV.

    Was just kidding. CA would be a long trip, even on the relatively comfy VFR.

    Damn you!! I'm deleting this thread!! I've been looking on eBay for about a week now.

    Once I get settled in down in Sheepville, I'll send you a note to see if it's still hanging around.

    And Dux's looks like a sweet one, especially with only 7K ... it isn't even broken in yet. Those motors loosen up some and get better around 12K

    I'm on my second '94 (same as the '95) First one lasted me 55K before I decided to try a '98 (it now has over 85K and still going strong). Second one I bought with 36K and now has over 56K and have taken it everywhere. Nice touring bike that does good commuting and mountain carving too.

    If anyone wants to give me $3K for my '94, I'll upgrade to this one ... any takers?

    I was only two years older than you when I saw the light and bought a more comfortable bike.

    Now I'm jonesing for a 600rr or 1000rr. Must be my fourth midlife crisis since I turned 25.

    Heck, I bought my first VFR when I was 4 years younger than him ... the racebike and the RC51s came later

    I don't see VFR on the list :

    what makes some one smell like wee?

    Of course, you guys realize that you've killed any chance I have of selling this bike on this board?

    Sorry....thought I had modified this post a while ago.

    The VFR is going to stay in the stable for the time being.

    I still get the craving for a Sunday morning "sport" ride every now and then.
