Member Contributer 2thdr Posted March 27, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 27, 2017 1996 VFR 750 near me with 35,700 miles, says to be in excellent condition. Asking $2,650 with a clean title. The other one I'm looking at is a 6th gen with really low miles, but $4,800. I was a previous 6th gen owner and am getting seduced again!

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted March 27, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 27, 2017 Welcome back to the dark side of V4 ownership (GDCs). The 750 is without a doubt the best carbed VFR ever. lighter and more flickable than the 3rd gen. Before pulling the trigger on a 4th or 5th gen purchase ask for close up, detailed pics of all plastics and the mounting tabs for them. No new Honda plastics are available for the 4th gen and I hear only what is in stock at dealers for the 5th gen. Would only consider a 2006 or later 6G if I were in the market for one.

coupedupsubie Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I got my 94 two years ago for $2,200 with 24,000 miles on it in very good condition. If it is truly in excellent condition then it may be worth $2,600. As far as the 4th vs 6th gen, I'm no help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer alwaysaware Posted March 28, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 28, 2017 Pull the trigger on the Testerossa. Sounds like a very reasonable price. You can always get a 6 gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted March 28, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 28, 2017 Nice pipe Doc. 'Bout time you got back to the VFR crowd. Sixths will be around for a while; the elder VFRs not so much. Hope we can ride together again some day. Terry Yaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm toying with the idea of adding a VFR, but no action yet...Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer deltaboxii Posted March 28, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 28, 2017 Really just depends on what you want to do with it and how you ride. Agreed with AA that it's much easier to find a 6th gen. Good condition 4th gens are getting harder and harder to find! But...so are parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted March 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 29, 2017 Finding plastic may be tough for older-than-fifth-gen VFRs. But that's only a concern for peeps that crash frequently. (blush) I think its likely that the Good Doctor's risk is less than average in that category. After all, there have to be those who bring the crash/mile ratio back to average to balance out the Fall Risk -ers like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to spend $160 or $180 or whatever on a new front fender for my 5th gen. Just received a suitable chunk of broken abs material from Mr Swell. Thanks man!

RVFR Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Oo I'd go take a peek, then if all looks ok as far as bike stuff in general, tires, brakes, chain, starts up fine, I'd pull the trigger if i was in your shoes. Those 4th gens are a sweet ride. I wouldn't sweat the parts are hard to get thing. Don't drop it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
