What: 2010 VFR1200
Where: Hamilton MI
Why: A shining star fades fast
Sold: $5300 (no reserve eBay auction)
We all know the VFR1200 was no market success. But I'm not sure anyone knows why. It's an excellent machine; fast, composed, smooth, techie, perfectly detailed. But it may have veered too far from the Interceptor formula of a mid-weight sport tourer, and the styling doesn't suit everyone's taste. VFR folks can be a finicky bunch.
Personally, I like the model but like most VFR fans I didn't buy one. Still, I fantasize about a 1200 in the stable and so have kept an eye on the values over the past few years. Well, it may be time to buy.
Here we have a first-year VFR1200 with a couple thousand dollars in extras, low miles and well-kept by a mature owner. It's the "standard" transmission model (no DCT) and sports OEM bags, center stand, larger windscreen and bar risers. The bike represented about $17,000 in value when it was new and just sold for $5300.
Condolences to the seller and congratulations to the new owner.
