The 4th-gen VFR is the furthest Honda took the carburetor-ed V4 development, adapting fuel injection and many more changes for the 5th-gen 1998. That's not an indictment of carbs — they have a satisfying visceral, analog feel for many of us. But, fuel injection was the future and that technology will never retreat.
Today's example has a few things going for it, showing only 15,240 miles with a few rare period extras and very original condition with the exception of the muffler and a strange rear fender/tail light modification. Extras include a full set of very rare color-matched RKA soft saddle bags/tail pack, Renntec luggage rack, Vance & Hines slip-on, passenger seat cowl, grab bars and tool kit. The seller knows the bike's ownership history, having bought it from his friend, the original owner. Also available via a Craigslist ad, offered at $5499 or reasonable offer. Ebay auction ends July 4th.
