I also look at used S2000's and Honda 599's (can never find them) and Yamaha FZ 6's too. I also found two Honda 919's for sale close by as in VT and NH. EDIT: Also look at used Miata's as well

There is a 2001 VFR on Craigslist with 1200 original miles. A little pricey at $6k, but if I didn't have mine, I'd be looking at it.
WTF, 1,200 miles... wow
Yea, $6k is high, but if's it's really nice I would have paid $5k for it.
Now stop
The listing has been updated. It is a 2002 and the added pic verifies it.
Makes my 2004 with 630 miles on it for $5k in 2007 look like a great deal!

Basically that's the way I see it, and I openly confess on VFRD, I probably paid too much, but that's ok, I got a good bike, and it is what I have wanted for so very long

ELENA MYERS WINS DAYTONA!
SuzukiScoopFans SportbikeTrackGear.com Suzuki's Elena Myers claimed her second career AMA Pro victory in sensational fashion on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. Her win was also the first by a woman in a professional motorsports event at the fabled venue.
The 18-year-old AMA Pro SuperSport title hopeful got her revenge for Friday's race in which she fought for the win but got shuffled back in the draft on the contest's final lap. On Saturday, she altered her strategy, putting her GSX-R600 at the front of a four-rider lead pack as they raced up onto the banking for the final time.
Myers tucked into the cockpit and made herself as small as possible in the sprint to the checkered flag. The decision paid off as her rivals proved incapable of drafting by her at the stripe, with Myers scoring the win by 0.240 seconds.
"These guys were super-fast all weekend and they ran a great race -- I was just trying to stay with them," Elena said. "Yesterday I got the short end of the draft and I was happy today there were only four of us up in the lead pack instead of eight.
"It was good just to have a few of us up there, just going back and forth. It was a phenomenal race. I stayed up there and led a little bit, then stayed behind just to see how much I could be behind and still catch up. Everyone's bikes were really fast but mine was too.
"I just can't thank my team enough for giving me such a great bike this weekend. They put just the greatest machine under me. I'm so happy to get a win for them. It's a great feeling and nothing compares to it. That's why come here and do what we do -- to stand on the top of the box."
