Project 25 Is.... SOLD

The maintenance is finished. The test rides are completed. And Project 25 is in need of its next caretaker.

This 1998 VFR800 FI was found in Prospect Heights, Illinois earlier this summer. The seller was the second owner and used the bike for local riding and touring the western states. It shows only 17,133 miles and certainly looks the part. Walking up to this bike, you'd be hard pressed to tell it from a showroom fresh example.

After some cosmetic repairs, I upgraded the headlight and taillight bulbs, fitted sleeker mirrors (2000-01) and brought the maintenance up-to-date:
• Spark plugs
• Air filter
• Flushed coolant
• Flushed hydraulics
• Cleaned & inspected brake calipers
There's also an aftermarket windscreen and control levers fitted. Other niceties are a center stand, passenger seat cowl and chain adjustment tool. Tires, chain and sprockets show little use. Clear & clean Illinois title in my name.

I'm offering this example for only $2900. Often considered the best of the best of the VFR line, the fifth-gen models fit right between the carbureted earlier 750s and the later VTEC 800s, retaining the signature gear-driven cams while being updated with fuel injection and linked brakes. From Cycle World (May '98): "Honda is never a company to be outdone. At a time when other manufacturers are pushing narrowly focused, track-bred repli-racers, Honda has created what may be the most versatile, sport-oriented motorcycle ever sold."
