VFRXX

That's a $4500 US or less VFR. No question. Once again Im convinced that I'm in the ballpark with my price. I wasn't going to share this story, but what the hell . When I purchased this bike the seller wanted $5000. And based on his description of it, I was prepared to pay him exactly that. "Mint condition. Ready to ride" he said. I drove 3 hours with 5k cash in my pocket only to find a motorcycle that wasn't exactly how the seller described. I wasn't happy. Original tires, original fluids, leaking fork seals, rusted chain, ten years of grime and corrosion, almost dead battery. I could go on. Although it had its shortcomings, it had potential. It was all there. Every OEM piece still intact. I was still interested, but no way 5k. I made him an offer and tried to explain that it's going to cost me well over $1000 closer to $2000 just to get it in road worthy condition. He balked. I thanked him for his time left my phone number in case anything changed and split I drove for 1 hour exactly and he called me back. You guys know the rest. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that "mint" is a very relative term. Sure, I could have put new tires on it, cleaned it up, and nothing else. That would be a $4000 VFR. That's definitely not what I did.

I appreciate your honesty. $2000 is a real good deal. I'd set mine on fire before I took that. I don't need the money. Unfortunately I don't ride enough to justify having two motorcycles. I'm open to offers. The point of this thread was to get an idea of what it's worth. No biggie.

Up for sale is my gorgeous VFR 800. I bought it late of 2020 with only 2800 miles on it. It was bone stock. Over the last few years I've made some tasteful modifications. Pazzo levers, Heli-bars, Puig screen, Two Bros. can, EBC-HH pads, Sargent seat, black and gold RK chain and sprocket. Changed out the 23 year old brake and clutch hoses for HEL lines. (Don't even ask what they cost). Had DMr re-valve and respring the rear shock for a 200 lb rider. Front forks were serviced, re-sealed and re-sprung accordingly. Replaced the fork tubes due to some minor pitting. Every fluid on the bike has been flushed at least once. Bridgestone Battleax's have plenty of life left. Replaced the plugs and air cleaner out of boredom, and the Yuasa battery is one season old. Always garaged and on a tender. All the fasteners, bolts and push pins are OEM correct and in place. I have the stock muffler, hoses, complete tool kit with spanners, both keys, rear spring, grab handles and hardware. I should have the stock clip-ons somewhere. Small rock chip on left fairing, and a couple hardly visible scratches on the lower right fairing. Asking $6000.

There's a 2000 on Cycle Trader right now for 6k. 24k miles. Tipped over on both sides, dented tank, old fluids, rust. Are these guys high? If that thing is worth 6, mines worth 8 Anyway, I'm gonna list mine here today at some point. Dont be bashful, tell me what you guys think.

Yes, people can ask whether they want for an item. It doesn't mean it's worth it. Again, I'm not looking to shamelessly promote my bike here. I just wanted some feedback before I list it. Thanks guys

I get it, but it was always a reasonable start. I've bought and sold dozens of bikes over the years. Certain bikes are just desirable. 10 year old Busa's are selling for a few grand less than they were new. And try to find one that hasn't been molested. On the other hand, you can pick up a bone stock mint 10 year old VFR for less then half of what they were new. Believe me, I understand. Our bikes weren't that popular. But some of us are enthusiasts, and know exactly what a VFR is..(was). This is my 4th one. Just asking opinions, that's all.

I'm thinking about selling my bike. As with any bike, I always check around to see what they're going for and price accordingly. Can someone explain to me the wild pricing I'm observing with these things? I see nice examples anywhere from $3500-$5500! The only online used pricing guide I can find for our bikes is JD Power. They say a excellent 2000 goes for @ $6900! WTF? I know it's not worth that, but then I think to myself... What new bike are you gonna buy that's even close to our beloved 5th gens for less than $10k? Now, my bike certainly isn't new, but it's as close as your gonna get. Anyway, what do you guys think a damn near showroom condition 2000 with 7000 miles is worth? Thanks a bunch
