Plenty of parts on eBay. Some are interchangeable between models. The VFR is a different beast to the SV. A lot heavier and not so flickable in the bends due to the extra mass. Don't get me wrong, it handles really well but you can't beat physics. On the other hand I can ride the VFR for hours and get off as fresh as a daisy. You can bimble around below 7k rpm (below the VTEC ) and it's a kitten, above 7k it really takes off and the howl from the engine is a joy. Those brought up on 2 strokes will know what I mean.

I miss the SV, but love the VFR.
