On the used sports bike market, a VFR 800 from its last generation, which ended in 2013, would set you back by around $8,000, but it remains a solid deal, especially with its Honda VFR800 top

Top speed: 144 mph: 1/4 mile acceleration: 11.8 secs: a VFR800 VTEC, which I have modified (28lb weight loss), and love it. it is very decieving on speed. The handling is typical Honda
The '14+ VFR might look a bit like a Ducati or "sport-bike", but in fact the core, the engine, the whole "idea" and character is more or less taken from the '03-'13 VFR to ~95% I might say.
