Where: Scottsdale, Arizona
Why: Build your own VF1000R
Price: Auction ends Thursday
Here's one for 1000R fans. A two-year model in the U.S., this 1986 is the final iteration sporting the cool dual headlights. With values of nice, original examples topping $10K, this one will be tempting to an owner who wishes to add value by way of getting his/her hands dirty.
And dirty they will become. The bike has been non-running for at least four years, has non-original paint which may or may not be up to your standard, shows 32,615 miles, is fitted with an aftermarket Supertrapp single muffler and is generally showing its age. Otherwise, it seems complete and mostly original, judging by the supplied photos. There's some upgraded parts already installed, but the usual refurbishment tasks await. The opening bid is $999 with no reserve. If you're this bike's next caretaker, please keep me advised on your progress.
