The eighth generation Honda VFR was introduced in 2014. I think it's safe to characterize its sales as, ah... lackluster. I'll leave the speculation as to the reasons why to marketing professors everywhere, but suffice it to say the "new" VFR800 was a very comprehensive update to the sixth-gen VFR and is, by all accounts, a great ride. I will note that with sport bike sales tanking worldwide Honda still chose to clothe the VFR in full bodywork, and today's buyers are just not feeling it. But underneath its robes beats a modern and thoroughly sorted sport-touring package. And a V4.
The good news is that for those of us in the know there's a supply of leftover 2014 and 2015 models with prices firmly in the used bike class. I've recently come across two examples; both Deluxe models. I think the Deluxe is the one to look for, as the included options more than make up for the $1000 upcharge. This includes ABS, traction control, adjustable fork, remote shock preload, self-cancelling turn signals, heated grips and center stand. Original MSRP on the 2014 VFR800 Deluxe was $13,500 in a choice of Victory Red or Pearl Glare White. Personally, I'm a sucker for pearl white.

Click on image for the eBay listing. First up is a red 2014 offered by Sunrise Motorsports in Searcy, Arkansas. Their eBay price is $7799. No word in the listing about additional dealer fees, so that's worth investigating. Fair warning; Sunrise requires a non-refundable $500 deposit.
Click on image for the Cycle Trader link. Here we have a white example located in my backyard at Sportland 2 Powersports in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. This is a 2015 Deluxe model and is listed at $7976, excluding "dealer setup, taxes, title, destination charge."
