There never seems to be a shortage of the big VF’s on the market. Trouble is, they often live at one end of the spectrum or the other; low-mileage museum pieces or hi-mile projects. This ’85 “R” model sits in the sweet spot — not too perfect but one you could be proud to own and actually ride.
Showing 11,700 miles this VF1000R sports later model dual headlights, F1 slip-ons (originals included), period Arai helmet and even a matching Honda dust cover. Maintenance looks to be up-to-date and the bike appears ready to ride. And there’s just enough survivor patina to assuage any guilt you may have about putting some miles on it.
These bikes range from $1,500 projects to $12,000 living room queens. This one is Goldilocks priced with an opening bid of $7,495 and no reserve. Find this VF in Kansas City, Kansas
