Sold my ‘95 vfr 750 in ‘99 to buy my friends ‘98 vfr 800. Those sights and sounds instantly brought back memories. Imho, the vfr 800 was an improvement in every way over the vfr 750. Engine, suspension, ergonomics, and of course those amazing linked brakes. Think long and hard before you sell it, I suspect these bikes will become increasingly desirable and difficult to find on the market in the coming years. Fwiw, I sold my ‘98 somewhere in the mid ‘00’s simply because the bike was so competent and relaxed that it really masked speed. It would constantly lull me into that 80-90 mph, go to jail speed zone on two lane roads. It was a true GT motorcycle. Enjoy it, and ride safe.
@@Mosterg it is an enriched and idle speed adjustment. It was necessary because the ‘98 vfr 800 did not have an oxygen sensor. It was not an exhaust gas adjusted closed loop system. I believe they referred to it as a ‘hot wire’ system back in the day (but don’t hold me to it). I think it had a sensor of some sort that monitored the intake air characteristics. Subsequent vfr 800’s had catalytic converters and oxygen sensors. I really liked this system on my ‘98. It had only very minimal snatchiness in off-idle throttle response, unlike many of the O2 sensor equipped bikes that followed. Imho, throttle response was one of the stand out properties of this bike.

Wow, that thing looks incredible on the inside. Engine sounds great too. I bet the ride is as comfortable and squishy as I'm imagining. If I had money for a second car I'd love to get something from the final generation of land yachts like this, but I can live with my Toyota Avalon for now.
