This particular example is the 77th VFR800 ever made! Chassis #0000077 was first registered on 1st March 1998 and has had just 4 former keepers.

Over the years the bike has been very well cared for and comes complete with;

- Full original tool kit

- Original screen + touring screen + tinted sports screen

- Colour coded pillion seat cover

- Givi rack with 3x hard luggage cases

I'll even throw in brand new OE fuel cap + tank protectors. and a haynes manual!

 

I bought the bike in Dec '12 after a decade without a bike and it has reignited my passion for bikes.

The only reason I'm selling it is because I'm upgrading to the new VFR next year. and if I could afford them both I absolutely would not be selling.

I have done nearly 10k miles on the bike and they have been super comfortable and entertaining miles - the noise from that fuel injected V4 is like no other bike out there. unique and very addictive!

Build quality is better than bikes my mates own that are half the age!

 

The bike has service history. and in my ownership has been treated to;

- Major service at Honda @ 24k miles

- New front tyre and front brake pads @ 29k miles

- New chain and sprocket kit in May '14

- New rear tyre @ 32k miles

- Major service (inc. all important valve clearance check) @ 32k in Jun '14

 

Taxed until Mar 2015

MOT until Jan 2015

 

Mileage is 34k

 

As expected with a 16yr old machine however there is the odd scuff here and there. All marks are small and merely cosmetic. please see pics.

- Tiny chip on the paint on the bottom part of the fuel tank

- Wing mirrors scuffed

- Front forks are pitted

- Front wheel rim paint flaking a little

The bike has been used but the condition is very good for its age and it will make a great daily commuter / cheap tourer.

 

Good bits;

- Very original bike. other than the brake and clutch levers the bike is unmolested

- Bike wants for nothing

- Matching Pirelli Dragon tyres with loads of tread left

- Comes with 3x keys and both sets of keys for all Givi luggage set

 

 

Really sad to see the bike go as it has been an absolute gem to own and has many more years of loyal service left to offer. The next owner will not be disappointed!
