The one-year only VFR800 25th Anniversary Edition has slowly come into its own since being launched to a lukewarm reception. With an all red model offered alongside the stunning red/white/blue, many of these languished in showrooms for years, offered at steep discounts. But time and the owner-applied white wheels have a way of bringing forth a renewed level of appreciation for the obvious flair this color way provides.
We saw this beautiful Anniversary Edition two years ago here and on the Bring-A-Trailer site, where it sold for $8250+ buyer's fee. It still shows only 4800 miles and is at least a 9 of 10 in the looks department. The seller states, "rest assured that this VFR is perfect and you’d be hard pressed to find any flaws." The 2007 VFR800 offered two major options, neither present here: color-matched saddlebags and anti-lock brakes. The auction ends Sunday with bidding currently at $4900. I would expect this to reach somewhere around the previous selling price, even in today's soft market conditions. Here's hoping the new caretaker gets her on the road for the rest of us to admire.
