VRAA. Sellers remorse is remarkably higher on the ISF than most any other car out there. Judging by the comments made by those who sell them compared to other cars it’s pretty incredible. There is something intangibly special about the ISF that no one has yet put into words. It’s truly a different car, unlike any other. I’m one who thinks it may the closest thing to a street legal nascar that one can buy. The size, the seating position, the balance between the engine, transmission, brakes and handling. It’s balanced. Not over powered or under brakes. Much like the BMW GS adventure bike. It’s not the best at one thing but does everything so much better than any other bike making it nearly the perfect bike. The ISF is like that. For street use it’s nearly the perfect car. Merry Christmas

I miss my ISF too. The RCF is meeting my needs though. Can’t I have both? 🤔

the essence of the pic is still the same regardless. You might think it’s no biggie. But not for a military family like mine.

It's a literal screenshot of Call of Duty dude. Probably more guys playing this game deployed overseas than any other game. Yet to hear any of them voice any issues with it.

not surprizing given that it is the IS platform, but with a V8... something that was killed off 6-7 years ago.

You're not the only one that has said that..... Curious why did you sell it and what did you replace it with?

TBH the replacement is great, but it's different, just doesn't feel as complete as the IS-F

My biggest regret would be selling my ISF for a GTR BUT I have not. Something very special on this particular platform that always keeps me wanting it. To this day, I am still very satisfied with all aspects of my 2008 ISF. When I do get the GTR, I WILL still have my ISF
