    SO im upgrading to a 98 VFR800 and I am looking to sell my 85 VF500f. SO i want to see what I should expect to sell it for. Here is the rundown:

    - 25,000 Miles
    - Decent physical condition (has scratches, no cracks though, older yellow paint job)
    - Inspection runs out this month
    - Getting New speedo drive put in this weekend
    - Oil changed last fall before winter storage
    - New battery last year
    - Tires have atleast this season left on them
    - Needs ignition switch ($30) to pass inspection most likely...
    - Front headlight is finicky...(sometimes works others doesnt, start assembly?)
    - Clutch is still pretty good, slips once in a blue moon

    So im not sure but I was going to put it up for around $1,400. Its such a fantastic starter bike considering you can beat it up and its perfect power for a beginner. What do you guys think? Anyone interested? I got pics....

    May not be what you have in mind but given that has been repainted, is in fair cosmetic condition, has a few electrical gremlins and has 25K on the clock, I would say this bike should fall somewhere in the $800 range, for a knowledgeable buyer.

    For reference, mint very low mileage examples of the VF500F go for $2,500.
