Just brought a 99 and I’ve got to say I love it, it’s a fantastic bike that just inspires confidence all the way through the revs whilst still being practical

This gen VFR has everything you need. Look how impressed he was with the digital dash - now we aren’t satisfied unless our bikes have fancy electronics packages. Shows how spoiled we’ve become over the years.

We didn't become spoiled, people don't complain about a bike not having fancy eletronics stuff. It's just that the industry standard has evolved, so when you pay full price for a new motorcycle, you expect to have the fancy shit included 😅

Bought the same 5th gen last summer. I absolutely love it. 40k, runs like a Swiss watch. Lovely sound, great handling, I personally love the brakes, they inspire confidence and plenty of power even two up.

Had mine since new.. plated Oct2001. Blue... she's just ticked over 40K on the clock(not ridden much in the past 5yrs truth be known). Just recently had all the fluids flushed and replaced with any worn associated bits replaced due to old age. Standard condition and in great nick! Thinking of 2 options. 1- replace with a Beemer GS or 2. Maybe lash out and get it converted to 'standard' setup for a more upright seating position... the engine and body is solid but cant say the same for the owner! hehe.. The bike owes me nothing so no point getting rid of it...just the rego and a small insurance and thats about it. When it came out of storage recently I got my local bike shop to do the fluids stuff and a full front to back end overall checkup given the age of it. Other than some clamps, pipes, and a few seals and screws it wasnt a super cheap fix but it wasnt expensive either. All sorted and now all I do is make sure the battery is still fully charged and fire it up to move the oil around occasionally for the internal seals and clutch.. Still zaps like the day I bought it! nuf said! (a shame its owner is now about 20kilo heavier though hehehe... ) :)

My first bike was my 98 VFR800 I bought back in 2007 and still have it, recently added a 2015 VFR800 after a few other bikes to replace my 98 as my daily driver. I just missed the V4 and had to get another.
