    Hi all, this seems like the place to be if you own a VFR.
    I have been riding for years, my last bike was a 2009 M109, I sold it 22 months ago and started missing it shortly after.

    I have been toying around with the idea of getting another, the single sided swing arm had always caught my attention. Turns out the local dealer to me received several from Honda, all 2014 models and zero miles on them. I went to ride a 2015 today and fell in love.

    Needless to say I came home with her today. They had her marked down to 5999, so it was certainly hard to say no to it.

    Looking forward to owning a VFR!

    Thanks guys. I've realized over the years once two wheels is in your blood you will always have something to ride. So I think I'm just going to keep this one. And it's a Honda, I have seen many high mileage VFRs so I bet it will last me many years.

    I used to average about 12-16k miles a year but these days I drive the Miata a lot, it's cheap and fun too.

    Do yourself a favor and put a slip-on muffler on the bike and put a decent set of tires on it now instead of being disappointed in the OEM's until they wear out. I wish I would have.

    Wow, she's a beauty! Is it a '14 or '15? Either way that's an INCREDIBLE price for such an awesome machine - enjoy! Pretty soon Honda will be giving them away for free with every purchase of an Odyssey minivan :glee:

    At that price I'm almost tempted to get a 2nd non-deluxe red one to set up for track day fun and keep my white one company in the garage. With no center stand, electronic rider aids, heated grips, etc, and a weight loss program I think I could get her down under 500 lbs and have loads of fun at the track like smoke4ndmears while still having the white deluxe for suburban/rural blasts and occasional commuting. And I just got a nice check from the IRS, hmmm....

    Welcome to 8th gen club! Have had mine 2 1/2 years an love it, although I cringe at todays prices! Agree with comment about the OEM tires, I switched to Michelin PR4's, and a big difference. If you find position too aggressive, there is a company call Knight Designs that make a great set of foot pegs that are about an inch lower.

    Do share which dealership had them at this price. At that price one could afford to throw a real suspension under it and have a great bike!!!

    That price sounds to good to be true!

    They should be able to clear out their inventory of VFR's in no time at that price point.

    Welcome to VFRWORLD, where many of the members including myself are envious of the great deal you made.
