1986 Honda VF1000R With 1,290 Miles

Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

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.

Manufactured in October of 1985, this example is VIN: JHSC1604GM100514. The seller acquired this motorcycle from a private collector one year ago.

The odometer shows 1,290 miles. The seller has not ridden this example.

Maintenance:
The seller has performed the following:
– changed the oil
– rebuilt and synchronized the carburetors
– rebuilt the clutch and brake master cylinders as well as the clutch slave cylinder
– installed a new battery

Modifications:
The seller states the motorcycle has had professionally-applied gold pin striping decals added by a prior owner. “They can easily be removed with no evidence they were there by using a heat gun.”

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on the original Dunlop K500 tires.

The sale includes two keys.

Extras:
This sale includes the original owner’s and service manuals, along with an issue of Motorcyclist magazine featuring the VF1000R.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:

The seller notes that the bike has never been dropped and that “absolutely no paint work has been done to the fairings.” He sums up his bike by saying it’s “very difficult to find one of these in an untouched original state, this VF is probably the nicest on the market today.”

Currently located in Universal City, Texas, this Honda is offered on a clean Texas title in the seller’s name. Have any VF1000R stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
