  1. PRICE REDUCED: Up For sale: 2007 RWB. Only 5100 miles on it. 2nd owner, purchased from collector, thru dealer in 2019. Bike had 4200 miles on it when I purchased it. Runs perfect. Shifts like butter. Everything works as new. Not a scratch or blemish on it. Paint shines like new. Had the dealer go completely thru the bike when purchased. New fluids, battery, everything. Bike never had bags on it, so I put brand new (yes, you can still get them from Honda) OEM bags on it. It already had the tail piece. The tank had one small imperfection in the surface when I got it, so I had a new OE tank put on it (Yes, you can still get those as well). That means the inside of the tank is also brand new. Only mod is a Givi touring windscreen. Still have original windscreen if buyer prefers. Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires w/ less than 1k miles on them. Bike has always been kept clean and waxed, climate-controlled parked. Never in the rain (while I've had it, and as far as I can tell, never). This is undoubtedly the nicest 07 anywhere, a barely-broken in 13 year old. I just don't ride it enough and need the space for something else I've got my eye on. (we have 7 others in the garage now). Losing money on the sale as it is, but you never come out ahead on a work of passion 🙂. Bike is perfect and just needs to go to a collector or serious '07 guy. $4500, and well worth the asking price. Will not ship, but happy to facilitate pick-up, etc. Lots of pics available to seriously interested buyer. Bike located in Tampa, FL. PM me if interested. Thanks and safe riding, everyone!

  2. Actually, we've got 3 VFRs in the garage (counting this one) and we'll probably put them all up for sale shortly. We are going to switch over to some ADV riding, so sales will go towards funding a couple of new Africa Twins. Thanks, everyone. Keep an eye out in the classifieds. You'll see some nice VFRs up for sale shortly. 🙂
  3. Thanks for the replies and thoughts. Much appreciated. I'll probably keep it and sell something else. Gives me something to ride when wife is on her '18 CBR1000R anyway, LOL.
  4. OK, I'm thinking about selling my 07' RWB and would like some input from the group. 2nd owner. Bought it Mar 2019 from local shop, who scooped it up only a day or two earlier from the original owner. Bike is absolutely pristine, now only 5k miles on it. Everything looks/runs/rides like off the showroom floor. I added brand new OE bags and a touring windscreen, previous owner put the tail cowl on it. Not a scratch on it and the paint shines like new everywhere. It is probably the nicest 07 anywhere. I'm only thinking about it because there are too many in the garage now (8), and I need room for something else. Question for the group: Before I go to the trouble of listing and trying to sell this, do you think there would be sufficient interest among serious collectors/buyers? (If not, I'll probably keep it and sell something else...) Thanks for any input!
  5. They are rubber spacers between the mount and rear cowl, and the grab rail. They require the slightly longer 8mm bolts that come with the OE bags, to remount the grab rails on top of the spacer, through the bag mount and into the threaded frame holes. Yes, it seals the space around the rear cowl, and elevates the grab rails.
  6. Bags on. Perfect.
  7. Bags received today, on schedule. Perfect condition. Came with all mounting hardware, instructions, and with key cylinders already installed in the bags, 2 keys for each bag (same key cylinder setting, so in essence 4 keys) and an extra key cylinder with 2 more keys. Motosport stamp on box, indicating they had inspected them as well (inspector's name written into stamp), when they got them from Honda. Motosport came through. Would definitely recommend them.
  8. Just got notice from motorsport.com that they received the bags from Honda and they've been shipped out to me. More to follow, but it looks like the bags are definitely still in OEM inventory, if anybody wants them.
  9. BAGS FOUND! Ok, not content just to prowl their website, I called motorsport.com . Despite what their website said, the Rep accessed the stateside OEM availability and confirmed the '07 Anniversary Blue saddlebags are in fact available. Rep said computer showed 7 sets (now 6, LOL) are still in Honda stateside parts inventory. Delivery takes about a week from Honda, then 3 day shipping from motorsport in OR to me in FL. Free shipping and I got a $55 in-store credit for opening an account with them. Rep was really helpful. Oh, and the bags are hideously expensive, as you might imagine, but at least they include the mounts as well. As long as everything shows up as expected, I won't hesitate to use them again. Motorsport # is 866-677-7338, if anyone is interested. Lesson here: Don't just take website info as accurate.
  10. Thanks. I just checked with them. Even though the website lists them, they are not available. Appreciate it, though!
  11. Yeah, Thanks! I know they are tough to find. The new Cub is wife's, along with her '13 VFR1200FD and '18 CB1000R. She loves kicking around on the Cub, LOL. I've got a couple of alternate sources in the industry to look for the bags as well.
  12. I just found an absolutely pristine '07 w/only 4k miles on it. Has never even seen rain. Replaced the tank with a brand new OE one due to one small dent in it (old tank up for sale, BTW...). Rest of bike is immaculate, not a scratch anywhere. However, the original owner never put the bags on it. Anyone know where I can find a set of 6th Gen bags and mounts to go on it? Color is no issue, as I'll have them repainted if need be. Oh, and it is in the garage alongside my '16 VFR1200XD and wife's '13 VFR1200FD, along with a few other things...
  13. Cycleworld of Daytona Beach has a local guy that does it for them. That's where VFRtiger got hers. They do a multi-piece kit that includes dash, triple tree top, ignition key surround, fuel filler surround, tank and tail accents. Give them a call and talk to their parts and accessories folks.. (386) 257-2600.
  14. I had a 1980 CB750F. Bought it new, while I was stationed in ALASKA! Rode it one summer there, then shipped it home to Florida. That .... thing .... on ebay should be seized as evidence of cruel and unusual motorcycle treatment. A bitter end for a once proud, great machine. You're right, the banjo is getting louder...
