Thinking of buying this. Sometimes older bikes are mint. They cost less than the new one we want. Sales tax can be a killer. Insurance rates on new bikes based on displacement. Gonna take me another year to get the cash together for a '14 CB11 standard.

When I heard Honda was coming out with the 800-class VFR again, I was beside myself. It's been a bike that I've liked (since the '80s!), but just never got around to, and to me the 1200cc version just didn't seem like a VFR to me. So I moseyed on down to the friendly neighborhood Honda dealer, and to my surprise, they already had one on the floor - I was in love! That incredible red paint job, oh baby! This thing is downright beautiful, and just sexy as heck. Walked around it, even took a couple of cell pics (something I've never done before), and finally proceeded to throw a leg over it...and all those wild dreams immediately crashed and burned. Even after 30+ years of riding sportbikes almost exclusively, it was just too cramped and uncomfortable a position for me. I'm still bummed...

nhawk7504,

you should buy the VFR. They are amazing bikes, and relatively inexpensive for what you get.

I had the resources ($ to buy a new CB1100 Deluxe, but believe me it was a large cash outlay, compared to what I'm paying for a 14 year old VFR.

I love the CB1100, but if I was on a budget the CB750 Nighthawk and the VFR800 (VFR750 too) are a real bargain and a lot of motorcycle for the buck.

Those lines are so similar to my 99 XX, shield, license plate holder & can are identical. What year is that bike?? 1999 to 2002 where great motorcycles, unrestricted with spot on fueling.

This one is a 2000. My friend had a 99 and regrets selling it. The knees don't always like it but with the right breaks now and then it's fine.

That 2K yellow VFR is striking color!...I have noticed in many pictures of groups of bikes parked in various magazines... that the yellow bikes(VFR, Goldwing, etc) always stand out!... word of caution about the 2K VFR, though,... notice where the front fairing turn signals are in the plastic... even a gentle "lay down" on either side "punches" out the small backing strip of ABS plastic in the expensive side fairing for the turn signals as they are first to touch the ground... quite expensive fairing $ to replace that complete plastic fairing just because the little ABS strip that the turn signals/lens attaches to gets smashed out of side fairing... especially if the < 5mph "downer" slide rocks bike onto BOTH sides & takes out both front turn signal assemblies backing ABS strips that are integral to the side fairing...$$$ replacement for both side fairings!... just thought you should know!... otherwise... one of my favorite VFR colors & gear driven cams too!... enjoy your "new" 2K VFR!...it's a great ride!
