When it was released, the VF1000R was a bit of a revelation: it was Honda’s flagship, designed to showcase what the Japanese firm was capable of. It was also a huge tease to US riders, because it was initially only released in Europe only – America got the VF1000F instead, which was designed to be more of a touring bike.

The R was Honda’s first road bike to benefit from gear-driven cams and came decked out in fully faired, racer replica bodywork with rearset footpegs and adjustable clip-on handlebars for a more racer-ready riding position.

This example is VIN: JH2SC1606GM100515; Engine: SC16E220517. The seller purchased the bike January 2019.

During his ownership the seller has covered approximately two miles. The odometer shows 44,094 miles.

Maintenance:
The seller states, “Items showing any wear were replaced or refurbished. This includes all rubber parts down to the original kickstand rubber, footrests, gear selector cover, grips, etc. All serviceable items were replaced including new fork seals, chain, sprocket, tires, oil and all filters and spark plugs. All master and slave cylinders were rebuilt.”
