Tiutis

Keep it! Regarding seals, my 8th at 24k miles started to leaks small amount on the left fork. I hope the sealmate can help but I have a feeling it will need to be replaced sometime soon. The fact 8th gen VFRs dot have a fork seal protector does not help, even though, in anal about keeping forks clean after each ride.

All over Ebay and Amazon now, I think.

Dutch, Are those ST or GT? I see a pair of STs for $200 which sounds like a deal based on reviews.

It was a good tire but, let’s be honest, there are newer and just as good or better tires for less money. No need to buy 5+ year old tires and hope they have need stored properly. And the rubber gets hard regardless of storage over time.

Thank you for letting us know!

$8,500 from a dealer is a very fair price. Those bags alone are like $2,000. I’d say do it! This bike will keep you happy for many years. Not that 6th gen couldn’t but it will require lots of maintenance.

RWB VFRs are special, Ive always liked the color combo and how well the 6gen aged. I saw a red one yesterday with a modded single under the seat exhaust that was just rolling down the road slowly. I was like enjoying the look and sound of it. However, as I age, I understand the appeal of a more standard with better ergos bike. I too find myself looking at other brand even if they don’t have the V4. Cross runner would have done just as well as other similar bikes, if only Honda brought it here. Updated electronics and a few extra cc might be necessary to match the competition. Otherwise, the bike looks good and is priced well in Europe.

Adventure style bikes are selling well or better than sport touring bikes in US. So I’m a little surprised that Honda did not bring the cross runner into US. Their 2 flagship bikes (Goldwing & AT) is where their focus seems to be. In other parts of the world, smaller bikes are probably selling like hot cakes. Leaving our small minority of V4 lovers in “not so important category”.

I’ve always like ST Sprint, looks and sounds wicked. Triple headlights and tailpipes. Nice!

Great riding- nice and smooth controls. And that sound!

Bags are expensive, $900 at least. Other things are cheap but nice additions. Moose thing must be the batter tender.

It’s a beauty. Those Michelins should serve you well in the torrential rains of FL.
