Member Contributer deltaboxii Posted April 24, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2015 First, I am not affiliated with this ad! Second, If you really want to sell a bike, its probably not best to mention in the ad that you have "UPGRADED" to something else. But a Harley? Really...? That's your idea of an upgrade??!! From the ad: http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/4980562201.html Im selling my 1998 Honda Vfr Interceptor 800 cc because I have upgraded to a Harley. The bike has 39xxx miles on it it looks nice and rides nice .I have all the factory diagrams on how to work on this bike I also have extra parts...clean title in hand. 4000 o.b.o The bike looks nice although a bit on the high side of his asking price... he probably has alot of chrome and leather chaps and tassles to buy now... I certainly hope that no one that is a member on THIS forum would describe their VFR this way. Sorry, but this really grinds my gear driven cams.

PirateRiderBen Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't think I consider any bike an upgrade over the VFR. A upgrade indicates a bike in the same class that is superior. A Hardley-Movingson isn't even comparable to a VFR. Other bikes are better at other things, like cruising and bike week showing off, if that's your cup o' tea.

Member Contributer auggius Posted April 24, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2015 Y'all are too sensitive, especially someone who's name here is PirateRiderBen. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SCguy Posted April 24, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2015 There's a 2000 5th gen on Craigslist in NC that proclaims adult ridden, but the first picture is with the front wheel a foot and a half off of the ground.

Haha, I saw that one many times! It is yellow, but one of the old ads just had him doing wheelies and burn outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateRiderBen Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Pirate in my name comes from the ECU Pirates. I had no idea it meant anything about the motor company until last year. I know which bike you're referring too. He won't sell it at that price given the pics and the wording of his add. Something about your friends being jealous when you blow by them or something.

Guess I shouldn't have read so much into your username. +1 respect point haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRiderBen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have never owned a Harley. Not that I wouldn't, but I just have no idea what I would do with a cruiser. Probably polish it and look at it. I started riding on cruisers, had a 1994 Magna, a 1996 Shadow 1100 ACE, and a 1994 Kawasaki Voyager 1200. That shadow was a cool bike, but I prefer just about everything that a sport touring mount provides. -PRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted April 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 27, 2015 I don't see a problem. Probably wants to impress his friends at work and the ladies love Harleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorWing Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I don't see a problem. Probably wants to impress his friends at work and the ladies love Harleys. The problem is (at least for me) is that his ad talks about "adult driven" and the pictures are of just wheelies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFRMAN Posted May 1, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 1, 2015 Impossible to 'upgrade' from a 5th gen as has been said, hard to believe but we have some of this Harley riding/gang type crew even in Ireland,They look down there nose at Jap bikes.

Member Contributer gig Posted May 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2015 A few years back a friends wife told him because of their current finical situation and new baby she felt the only responsible thing for him to do was to sell his bike. So he added up his extensive farkles, added that to the two year old purchase price, and voila, wife was happy, no one seemed to want to buy the bike at the that "reasonable price", so unfortunately he had to keep it.
