Some time ago I began contributing to the bikes-for-sale site, Bike-urious (http://www.bike-urious.com). Here's a recent submission I found in Canada. Unfortunately, we have yet another case of a seller providing bad photos of a nice motorcycle. However, look closely and you'll see a Honda NR sitting quietly behind the VFR.
eBay item number 182004283741 Perhaps the most iconic of Honda's homologation specials (or maybe any manufacturer's), the VFR750R, colloquially known as the RC30, was produced from 1988-1990, with worldwide production totaling 4782 units. Only 316 of these made it to the U.S. as 1990 models due to the EPA dragging their bureaucratic feet. In some European markets the bike was named the Bol D'or after the popular endurance race series held annually in France. This is one such machine.
Our seller, located in Quebec, Canada, tells us that this 1988 French-market machine has been a part of his static collection and will therefore need some maintenance brought up-to-date to make the bike rideable again. Showing 18,900 kilometers (about 12,000 miles), the fuzzy photos don't reveal a lot of detail, but the seller says it "shines like new." He states that the paperwork is in order and being more than 25 years old, importing to the U.S. should be routine. There's an opening bid of $19,999. U.S.-spec models typically run around $25,000, so we'll see what kind of response this Euro model brings here in the States.
UPDATE: SOLD for $26,000 with one bid.
