Picked up my 07 VFR RWB

Well I finally drove out to East Toledo Honda in Maumee Ohio to pick up my new RWB. Seems like a nice dealership, everyone was friendly and helpful. First time I have ever trailered a bike for any reason, was a bit nervous about it, more about possible damage from a strap than anything else. Salesman loaded it up for me, even gave me some short lead straps that he put on the forks to ease the whole procedure and keep the tie downs away from the outside of the fairings. Got her home safe and sound last night, now just need the weather to cooperate.

Congratulations 2wheels, awesome ride! Ahhh nothing like the day you bring her home for the first time, it's good that you took pictures.

 

congratulations.... thats a beautiful ride!

i thought Harley's were only supposed to be trailered not a VFR lol

 

There is nothing like getting a new bike. Congratulations on your new addition. I look forward to hearing about your riding impressions once the weather comes around.

 

awesome that bike gets alot of attention i have one everywhere i go older guy's my age think its the old one until they get near it its just that color stands out in a crowd especially in the roadrace replicas parking lot you will always find your bike but the cops will always find you too...and the vfr is not slow or maybe i got a good one or broke it in right rolled outta gas station to get on highway when i st8ned out i cracked it wide open no clutch no hesitation rode a power wheelie about foot off ground it dropped clicked into second gas off on real fast clutch shift no pop and came up again few inches steering got lite man it was cool didn't think it had it in it you know they are heavy but i guess they have a good torque curve or maybe it was that 93 octane synthetic oil or the leos and k and n not sure boy if that pc3 helps anymore ill be in hog heaven.good luck you will love this site

 

Gah. GAHHHHH.

Picking up my RWB in a couple of weeks or so, weather permitting (still 3'+ snowbanks here dammit).

Just sold and delivered my learner bike (CBR125R) today... will be buying my new gear next week...

*taps my calendar*
Won't it move any faster? kjfjfhkljfhglkghfd

 

Congrats! thats the same place I picked up my 07 from in the fall. Overall a very pleasant experience.

 

Congratulations! They are nice to look at. The friendly young CA Highway Patrol officer who wrote me a speeding ticket last week commented on the nice paint job, and how it reminded him of the early Interceptors...

 

That makes 2 of us. I got back 6:30pm last night after picking up my 2007RWB from the same dealer.

 

Wow what a coincidence! we must have just missed each other. Did you get yours off the ebay auction? i know they had one up for bid when i put a deposit down on mine.

 

Consider yourself lucky your snowbank will melt twice as fast as ours, wow does 6' snowbanks in Montreal sounds like?:yield:

 

Yes, Ebay. I was there saturday morning about 11am. Saw a lot of people picking up bikes, they were pretty busy at the dealership.

 

Congratulations on the bike. I, too, just picked up an 07 VFR (non-ABS) in the candy red color. They are gorgeous bikes. Stay safe, dude.

 

Me Three

I also shopped around locally and then got my RWB at Honda East Toledo in February, which is only 2 hours away...I very was impressed with the dealership. Only bummer was if i had waited I could have scored the ABS/RWB for less then I paid 3 weeks earlier for the non-abs. Honda cleared them out and Honda East auctioned them on EBAY...
Logged my first 100 miles this week - very nice riding bike, turns easy, even slow parking lot stuff. Torque is good from about 3k up. Haven't worked it hard yet..anxious to see what it'll do when i get it past break-in:smile: Sounds like there may be quite a few RWBs in the MI-OH-IN area

 

What did you guys end up paying for the 07 rwb?

I got mine Feb 23rd and got a 07 rwb non-abs for $8800. I went straight to the dealer and didnt do the ebay thing?

Just curious to see if I could have gotten an even better deal!

 

you did better than I...

 

When I put a deposit down they had them listed on their website for $8899 w/ABS and ebay as a buy it now price of $8899. I just went thru the dealer website, I never win at ebay and didn't want to miss out on a good price. The others i found all were farther away and a higher price. I did watch the auction and the first one ended with reserve not met, I believe it was only a couple hundo less then the 8899 so I figured the reserve was probably the buy it price. I think it worked out well :biggrin:

 

Y do honda not bring that sorta bike over to the uk... Love them they look great really nice bike mate hope you enjoy.

 

From another new 2007 rider, congrats to all of you. It is quite a wonderful thing to have a new VFR. Enjoy the ride!

 

Great color! Have fun!!
