VFR400R sold on eBay
eBay item number 321877810932 Recently sold via eBay listing is this very nice and very elusive VFR400R. This model was never offered in the U.S., designed primarily for the Japanese home-market where the 400cc and under class was popular, mainly due to drivers' licensing restrictions.
Earlier, America got an upsized VF500 version of the V4, but this jewel, designated the NC24, was a later design much in line with the larger RC30 and third generation VFRs. This bike would later morph into the iconic (outside the U.S.) NC30 and later still into the NC35, produced through 1996.
Available only in the Rothman's replica scheme for the '88 model year, this one shows 28,000 miles and "fair" condition bodywork. Legally imported from the UK, ready to ride and located in Austin, TX, this VFR400 sold for $3600. reinforcing my notion that small-displacement motorcycles just don't have the appeal in this country.
