Click on image for the Craigslist listing. What: 1987 VFR700 F2 Basket Case
Where: Fredericksburg, Virginia area
Why: Fresh crate motor included
Price: $800
I've purchased a few VFR parts bikes and partially assembled (disassembled?) projects in my time, and here's another one that I'm certain I couldn't pass up if it were closer to home.
Why? 'Cause there's a "motor still in the crate." Now that's something we don't see everyday. Our seller states that the bike was wrecked in 1990 and it has sat in this condition since. He/she adds that there's "countless" NOS parts included along with Candy Wave Blue bodywork, though I don't see the headlight fairing pictured...or forks...or wheels.
Still, the remains seem essentially untouched and complete. There's probably not many miles accumulated in its short riding history, so if the frame is straight this would make a great winter project with a twist — a zero-mile engine in a 33-year old moto.
