accel_is_my_drug Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 My deal on the last two bikes I was looking at fell through. I'm back to square one and looking again. I don't think I acted fast enough....I am replacing my 1997 VFR750, which was nearly perfect, but I am hoping for something with a bit more power, and perhaps a little more sporty handling.I wouldn't mind sticking on a Honda, they have always been good to me, but I am open to nearly anything else.I would like to have:Cost around $4500, +/- $500.Fuel Injection preferredlower miles the better.Any ideas?

redkow97 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 FZ6 or FZ1.or Kawasaki Z1000??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accel_is_my_drug Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I thought I decided on a FZ1, but the deal fell through.. I would also consider as SV1, or another VFR, or something naked, or the newest gen CBR600....damn near anything right now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzer Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Since you already found your vfr nearly perfect, why not just stick with that but get one of the newer generation ones. here's one in your price range: http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mcy/2486801501.html2004 vfr, ~19k miles, probably could be haggled down to 4500.

|SnOmAn| Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I had a 2003 CBR954RR for sale, still do, but it's in Virginia now. Definitely not a touring bike but it has the power, handling, and sporty look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfd37buckeye Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Have a co worker trying to sell a newer FZ1 with a few add ons. I think he wants around $7k. It is extra clean and well taken care of. Call him and see what he will take. His name is Joe. 740 680 6224 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accel_is_my_drug Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 $7K is way too much for me right now.5K is the absolute upper limit of what I can get away with.And to spend 5K I really need to love this bike.. Like an RC51 or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
