I just bought a 1998 VFR!! It has some issues (Small dent in the tank, fairings needs tidying up, wheels need to re-balanced), but for $1600 I couldn't pass on the deal!!

Ready to transport!!

I took it out and rode a nice 35 mile loop . . . No strange noises, no overheating, and one electrical gremlin (odo reads Zero). The DMV and Honda Service dept logs mileage was close enough for Gov't work (~22K) I'm waiting on the rest of the paperwork from NY to have fully verified mileage on it.

Other than that, I'm a happy customer!!

It seems the GSF400 I've been working on will be jealous :D

Sounds like a great deal! VFR's are some of the nicest sounding bikes IMO
