Last week a U-shipper arrived with these two forlorn partners stuffed in the bed of a pickup, along with an orphan front wheel and a huge tote of miscellaneous parts.
Both are '86 750F models, one in fairly original condition, bought new by the seller and showing only 10,000 miles! It has some cosmetic issues and I plan a complete restoration of bodywork, wheels, seat etc. It arrived with a period 4-into-1 Kerker exhaust but I'll fit a perfect OEM system—just because I feel that this low-mile example should be brought back to stock condition.

The second bike is a 33,000-mile "parts bike" but has a good title, so if it runs well, I'll see about putting it back on the road where it belongs.
I'd spoken with this seller over a year ago through an ad at VFRworld.com, but with the bikes so far away his asking price wouldn't work out for me. This time around the price came down to $1750 for the pair and I found a shipper for $424 so it made a little more sense. Well, to me anyway, Patti's still wondering why there's so many VFRs crowding the garage.
