That is one clean looking VFR. The bike I was obsessing about today was my FE501. I took it for an evening adventure rip ( to get gas as I am doing some back woods exploring tomorrow) through some construction sites, highway construction, a few fields some quiet twisty suburban streets. Man this bike still puts a sh!t eating grin on my face everytime I ride it. The power delivery is so raw and ragged that I still can't believe it is street legal.  ;D  I really really really recommend getting some saddle time on an uncorked KTM 500 or Husky FE501.

Is there something special about this particular year that makes it "worth" more? (to the seller at least). 

Pearl white was one year only color.

Looks very eighties like those 86-90 white Supras with the white wheels.

I would prefer the V2 Panigale. Perfect bike IMHO.

This Gold Wing Tour DCT with 80k km on it asking $22k.

https://www.kelownahonda.com/inventory/2018-honda-goldwing-dct-kelowna-bc-v1x-8c8-10567428i

That one looks nice but man they are expensive, even 2nd hand  :fall:
I always had a soft spot for the Goldwing, maybe it is a kind of wishful thinking project once I get retired (in a decade or so), still have time to figure ...

80k in a couple of seasons. Impressive.   A Goldwing is on the edge of my future quiver. On the other end is an electric scooter.

Jawa, swing the gear shift lever back and use it as the kickstarter.. A friend of mine bought one in the 70's.  :D

Come on, man.  A GTI is the automotive equivalent of a sport scooter.   ;D  Maybe more so when stepping out of an AMG monster (sportbike).

Goldwing is like driving an a S-Class or Rolls...

 :rofl: :rofl2: But don't get so bewildered for people wanting to try a scooter/Gold Wing (I think you're joking..but it isn't always clear).  Having owned most category of bikes, I see why people like them for their own qualities.  Goldwing for touring, scooters for commuting utility, SM for honing skills and carving, etc...

I buy what I like to ride...or to try new things...not to impress people at Bikes and Coffee night.    ;D

Sold my scooter BTW...  ;)  Told ya that 890R was tugging at my heart strings (or the new 490 SM).  I'm in the same boat as you though....not sure dealers will co-operate for a new bike purchase during the Covid time.. :'(

PM sent...I have something for you.
