Buying 07 VFR soon, but I can't decide on color. Opinions? - Page 2

You can't go wrong with either color. IMO, the RWB is classic and the red is classy.

A few minor factors:
-If you have to touch up the paint, seems like it would be less of a PITA on the solid color bike.
-There seem to be far more '07 RWBs out there now than '07 reds, so if you're a non-conformist you'd likely be in the minority with the red bike.
-Tho the red is beautiful, it won't match any red riding gear or red trimmed gear/accessories you'll ever buy.

Get the brand-new RWB and take the wheels off, get them powdercoated white, done deal!

I say buy something without VTEC and linked brakes, like an early VFR or a Triumph Sprint.

V4,

I just purchase a new 07' three weeks ago and ordered the matching hard bags from Honda. I am located in Ohio and there was no issue getting the hard bags. Not sure why you are saying you can not get these in the US?

Scotty V, Not sure if this makes it any easier but I just saw a RWB brand new from a dealership on ebay. Buy it now price...a very cool $6990. Another '07 red new $6895. Both out of New Jersey so shipping or picking it up should be a pretty minimal afair for a guy in Mas.
