if so, what did they think of it?

its been for sale for a while now, and the kms are high (78,000)
how long do the chassis/frame on these bikes last? or is it just moving parts that will be a problem (wheel and steering bearings, swingarm, engine, etc)?

I like the fairings and exaust setup, and no pillion seat wont bother me as i dont have a full licence yet (do have an exemption for a 400 though)

Any info on it would be usefull.

Dude, seriously, a vfr for 5k thats got 78000 on the clock will cost you a shite load more even within the first year than spending an extra 1k on the far superior RVF.

As I said I dont intend pay $5k for it, what I wanted to find out is if anyone had seen it, and what their opinion was.
Morcs, believe me i would love to buy your RVF, and wouldnt hesitate if I had the cash.

As with any bike, KM's is no indication of condition.

My VFR has done 79,000km's and is running as sweet as a nut. The standard forks & shock were crap (it's a K model) so I swapped them for later ones. I did the head & front wheel bearings at the same time.

Front discs are still good too. I'd pick that one to be worth $4500 if it's mechanically sound; it sure would be a pretty thing to own.
