Default FS: '91 VFR400 (NC30) - Bay Area

Yup guys....my VFR400 is back on the market. Its a CA titled '91 NC30. Makes a great street/track bike and turned more heads than my old R6 will ever.

Want to go back up to a 600 (for the track) but if theres no buyers, I'll just keep it and buy another bike in 6 months (graduate in 3 months )

Specs:
about 12k miles
Jet kit + dyno tune by Factory Pro
F3 forks w/ .90 Racetech Springs (springs 1 week old)
Sachs Adjustable rear shock - Revalved and resprung by Aftershocks (done two weeks ago)
Goodridge steel braided lines
WR rearsets w/ rear brake mod
Aftermarket clip-ons
Slip-on exhaust
R&G frame sliders
Pilot Powers w/ 2 trackdays on them
NSR250 fairings
HRC derestricter box
Less than 2000 miles on new clutch, recifier, ebc HH front pads
fresh oil/filter

optional: Magtek magnesium wheels for sale with bike purchase (very very hard to find) - $500

$4700 w/o Magtek wheels; $5100 w/ Magteks (Magtek rear is in the pic below)

Pete, you're going to make me cry!

Why don't you stay in the VFR fold for your next bike?

decisions...decisions.....

Not sure what I want to do. On one hand, I want to hold on to it since they're hard to come by, the cool factor of the bike, and how flickable it is while on the other hand, a '03-'05 600 would be better for daily riding, the extra power for the track, and 2-up riding......

We'll see how it goes. Dont mind if it doesnt sell. If it does sell, I'll probably pick up a RVF400 or NSR250 later on down the line

Just out of curiosity, Why is there just one Magtek in the pic? I can't remember if you had one or both on at laguna, so I thought I'd ask.

Had just the rear Magtek on at Laguna. I just picked up the front one from my friend (the previous owner). The front is only 3" wide so you have to use a 110/70 tire and I used the rear because its a 17" (stock is 18") which allows me a better tire selection.

Currently the bike has 120/70 in the front and 160/60 in the rear (stock is 120/60/17 and 150/60/18). Next set of tires for the bike, if i still have it, will be 120/60/17 and 150/60/17

I hate you. I hate everyone selling bikes I HAVE to have at ridiculous prices.

Is it to early to refinance your home after a week?
