      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Wow, no postings since 2020 in the PNW...I just recently got hold of a VF500F and a VF700F for not very much (much less if my wife asks, of course). The 500 is running and rides well, but needs work. The 700...not so much. It was neglected more and needs some serious help.<br />
If you&#039;re around the Bellevue area and like to talk Hondas (or any old bikes) let me know. I&#039;m always glad to meet people with the same illness!]]></content:encoded>

I’ve looked at a couple shipping companies and the lowest I’ve found from Bothell to Spokane is around $700 from UHaulBikes seems excessive to me but I’ve never shipped a bike before. I could ride it but it being a used bike it’s not worth my life to try it. Do you guys have any ideas? Maybe a certified shipping company I haven’t tried. I looked into...<br />

Not too picky on year but the 2010 VFR1200 is my favorite looking (never even sat on one). Interceptors are rare around here and the ones you do see are tore up and abused. There have been SO many bikes on this site that I would have taken home but shipping is very expensive. I appreciate that you guys really care for your bikes and the deep knowledge you...<br />

I’d really like to buy another 86’ VFR750f RWB with 21k miles and yoshi exhaust. Regretted selling it since the day it drove off. I owned an 1984 VF500 as my first bike, man that thing was heavy. I sold my 04’ CBR600rr last summer after owning for 1 season. It was uncomfortable as Heck! My low back hurt, arms would go numb and wrists hurt after 30 minutes....<br />
