    Haven't been on the forum since I finished my last VFR project about 15 years ago. I'm thinning the stable and moving out some potential project bikes that I will likely never get to. Before I go crazy cleaning up this old Gen 5, snapping pictures for a listing, etc., I'd like to see if there's any interest out there. Here's a few details:
    Location: near Gainesville FL
    2000 VFR 800 that was originally yellow. Clear title in my safe. PO had dropped the bike at low speed and grenaded most of the plastics. I scrounged a complete set of red plastics and did repair a couple of small stress cracks on that set. Bike is essentially in stock form. No engine mods. About the only thing I can think of that's not stock is the Staintune can that came on it. I don't have the stock exhaust anymore. The bike ran fine when parked. Fuel was drained and cylinders were top oiled. The rear tire is badly cracked, but I have a new one on the way. Other than that, it's just a dusty, dirty, partly un-assembled basket case right now.
    If anyone is interested, please let me know, and I'll drag the old dog out and clean it up for some photos.

    Tempting if I didn’t have my own 5th Gen going through a similar refresh right now since I’m not far away. If it was a 954rr I’d be there by the weekend. Best of luck to you.

    Never had a 'Blade. Great machines. I was into VFR's for awhile, and my younger days came calling. Played with XL600R's for a time, and now I burn up hours fooling with 750F's and 900F's from the early 80's. Maybe I suffer from a complete lack of focus.
    Considering what I have now and what I've owned in the past, it's funny that my first choice to jump on and go is an XR650L. I guess I've developed a disdain for electronics and tech.

    Looking for a good condition 5th fuel tank.
    I'm not too far from you, so no shipping hassle.

    Hi,
    I'm interested in the full bike. What are you looking to get for it?

    Sold, or consider parting out?
