When a vehicle becomes your passion, things can get expensive, even when it's only two wheels. The eventual lesson learned, of course, is that all that investment in time and money will ultimately return the owner pennies on the dollar. That's why it's called a labor of love, and here's a perfect example.
Located in Southern California and showing only 16,822 miles, this first-year VTEC 800 has been lavished with performance and cosmetic upgrades—the seller claims over $8000 in extras within the last 2800 miles. The list is long and begins with a black powder coated frame, moving to custom exhaust work, DMr suspension front & rear, dyno-tuned (w/chart), 4th-gen rear wheel, see-thru clutch cover, Sargent seat, 8th-gen bars & triple clamp...all the way to the polished fuel cap and much more. The performance upgrades show 10 HP and 4 lb. torque increases beginning at about 6000 RPM. Cosmetically, the bike still gives a very stock look, with the obvious, and striking, white wheels setting this one apart from the crowd.
Value? In OEM configuration this model might realistically sell for $3000 (despite the plethora of over-priced VTECs offered out there), so our seller is offering a boat load of extras for not much dinero, making this a relative bargain for the buyer looking for a low-mileage VTEC 800 that's pre-farkled. If it were wearing Anniversary Edition bodywork with ABS, I wouldn't be able to resist. Nice job, good luck to our seller.
