RSVDon Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Question, what's the reasoning behind going straight up new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 ive found nice used ones with 7-10k on them for 5-7kGo with the 5th gen. Cheaper to own and have a sportier character, but not a whole lot to look at.For examplehttp://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/1337227981.htmlhttp://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/1367974700.html If you can only have one bike, it should probably be a VFR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Jeez, don't you read. I would respond to that, but without a question mark it wasn't a question! So yeah, I do read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Question, what's the reasoning behind going straight up new?i'd guess financing. Personally, i can't stand the idea of financing a bike, but some people insist that the factory warranty and knowledge that no one else 'abused' the bike is worth it.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 i'd guess financing. Personally, i can't stand the idea of financing a bike, but some people insist that the factory warranty and knowledge that no one else 'abused' the bike is worth it.I plan on buying out right, or having a huge down payment. I don't like the idea of having a bike financed either. Hell i dont even like having a car payment. The whole thing of buying new was when I was on the gladius kick. I couldn't find a used one. So brand new came into play. As far as the vfr's go I have heard the gear driven cammed vfr is a better bike overall than the newer ones. I have no experience to back this up just hear say.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 well I rode the sprint, for alittle over 100 miles today, Ran it through the paces. Did a highway bomb from troy to miamisburg, hit some twisties, did some in town cruising, and I decided thats one heck of a bike! Super comfy, lots of low end power, with plenty of top end go getem!
