    Know where i can find VFR 400 in New England?

    Anybody know where I could get a hold of a 90's Honda VFR 400 in the New England area or fairly close by? I know this is not an easy machine to get a hold of, unless of course your overseas. When I lived in California I used to see them all the time and fell in love with the looks. My girl wants to learn how to ride this year and I don't know if she'll stick with it, But this would be a good bike for here to start with... I'd like to surprise her with a bike for the up coming season. I know some of you are wondering why I don't just buy her a new Ninja 250? Underlying Reason, I always wanted a VFR 400 and if she's not into riding its a machine I'd love to own. I probably would never ride the Ninja 250, but I would ride a VFR 400!

    I know of a couple of close cousins to the VFR 400 that is up for sale here.


    It is Scotties CB-1.

    OR

    A HAWK GT that Ryan has for sale.

    The only one I found for sale in the whole US was in Alabama.

    I 'm not sure how easy it would be able to be made streetable. I think Ryan may have the details.

    Tony WAS going to sell his, but I believe he changed his mind

    I did see the one in Alabama, but I'm so sketched out with buying long distance. Got burned a few times... I think that dude in Alabama wanted like $7500. or 8g's for it? Seems a bit pricey, no? For that much i think I'd buy something newer!

    If anybody hears of one or if Tony wants to sell his in the future, could somebody please contact me here? If that's not too much trouble...


    Thanks!!

    Well you could skip all that clunky 4 stroke weirdness and find her a Derbi GPR75/50. Nice lil 2-stroke, 6spd, 190lbs, fun little bike
    and i got one forsale!

    Has she ridden at all before? Might as well toss her in a $275 MSF class to see if she likes it before going out & buying a bike for 10 times that or more.

    Heres a condom. I figured since youre acting like a dick, you should dress like one too.

    There was a mint teal/aqua colored one for sale about a month ago on ebay but located in NH. What a sweet bike. It sold for almost 7k. I think since they are so rare and somewhat of a collectors item here in the states that they are all going to be a bit on the pricey side.
