Member Contributer Mohawk Posted August 22, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2020 For those who have followed my VFR saga over the last 11 years, wIll be very familiar with my highly modified Y2K model. Headline figures are 118rwhp, 35Kg lighter than stock. Carbon wheels, lots of Titanium nuts+bolts, screws, axles etc. Full info on request. I'm considering selling it, so thought I'd gauge if there is any interest at sensible money. To give an idea of cost to get to this point its cost me approximately £6500 (circa US$8500) . No good reason for sale, I just don't use it much so could use the cash for other projects. PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted August 22, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2020 She's a beaut. Wish I could take it off your hands. But alas... my garage is full and my wallet is the opposite. (sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Resina Posted August 22, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2020 Feeling the exact same here 😅 Well if Euromillions knocks on my door, you can bet I’ll be knocking on yours 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted August 22, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 22, 2020 Given all the mods the bike has, that seems fair. Interest I think will come from the membership here who know the bike best and its stewardship vs maybe an auction where it would be viewed by many as another 20 year old bike. I'd be sorry to see it leave your hands. I've followed what you done on it for a long time and you've done a spectacular job with it. If you leave the V4 fold as an owner, my hope is that you'll continue to hang out here and continue to post with your knowledge and wisdom.

Member Contributer mello dude Posted August 23, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 23, 2020 All the mods on that bike... I sooo enjoyed your journey to get it in is current state. I still drool over the carbon wheels.... - It might be tough to get it into the US...... dunno what the obstacles would be... I would check to see if any buyer has good mechanical tech skills to keep it running beautiful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Contact Iconic Motorbikes about a classified ad or setting up an auction with them, they have the attention of the market that will appreciate what you've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyr62 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 The Honda 5th Generation VFR800 in the UK seems very undervalued to me. No idea why that is. Maybe they are a victim of their own success and there are loads of them still around because they were so well engineered. Anyway, hope you get what you want for it.
