I contacted the guy about the yellow 5th Gen Vfr800. Still for sale, and the ad has been up for eight days. Here’s what I got when I asked about the last valve adjustment.
So it’s pretty, but hasn’t been used much... Which worries me. This feels like a bike that should definitely be checked out in person prior to purchase. It’s a 3.5 hour drive away, and I have a friend who is willing to take me down there, but if any locals want to go down and confirm that it’s not a steaming pile....
Either way, I don’t really want to pay $3500 for it.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Then there’s this sixth Gen. I feel like I *should* be buying this one. Price just dropped from $4500 to $3300. Seems like an absolute steal for an 07 in what looks like fantastic shape, especially with matching hardcases. Best part? It’s in Kirkland, a few miles away from me...
But it's not yellow. And while sexy, it doesn't hit me like the 5th Gen does.

That red '07 was my dream bike for many many years. Buy it so I can live vicariously through your ownership.

3487 = 1244 + 2243
2243 - 1244 = 999
999 666
666 = the number of the beast
Solution - find a hell portal and get there instantly. Don't forget to check the brakes!

I may go look at it today. VTEC on a bike does sound pretty fun...

Yours is gorgeous. There’s a 750— white with white wheels—that I see daily.

Perfect, you can handle the east. If you see a yellow VFR in any of those, let me know!

I vote the red one. But that’s only because I find yellow colored things to be terrible, which I’ve been told is not the standard viewpoint.

I'm not up there but I own a 6th Gen and the feeling win the vtec kicks is unreal and they are ridiculously reliable, for the same price I'd go with the 07 any day and you could go over there to test ride it

Red one just dropped to $3k. I wanted to wait another few weeks but I'm going to try picking it up this week

The red one is a steal at 3k even without cases. Even if you don’t use them regularly they will be worth having if you want to tour. 06+ has the better lights and VTEC setup. That's a hell of a bike for the price. Nothing cheap feeling and just solid. Like Honda of olden times.
