This past weekend Las Vegas hosted the big motorcycle auction events of the year. At the Mecum auction six VF/VFR sales were recorded, including the highest price I've seen paid for a VF500. It's really difficult to gauge the value of an auction sale without having seen the bike in person and knowing relevant details. In any case, here's the results:
'85 VF1000R — $5250 — From the two photos provided this looked like a very presentable example with an aftermarket muffler. Mileage not listed.
'90 VFR750R (RC30) — $24,000 — This bike appears to be a beautiful, likely original, example and was displayed at a museum in California. "Low mileage."
'84 VF500 — $4500 — This very clean example is documented as the first VF500 imported to America. Mileage not listed.
'86 VFR700 — $3500 — Nice looking red/white/blue 700 with "HRC" stickers and some bluing on the left-side muffler, drooping turn signals — could have been better presented. 18,000 miles showing.
'86 VFR750 — $3000 — Very clean and well-preserved 750 in red/white/blue. Claimed to be all original. Drooping turn signals, excellent mufflers. 45,000 miles. Proving that miles do matter, this one sold for less than the less desirable 700 above.
'97 VFR750 — $3750 — Super clean, original, excellent condition, showing only 6.400 miles. Gorgeous final-year VFR and well-bought. I would have been bidding on this one.
The auction is scheduled to be broadcast on NBCSN January 31, 8pm - 2am.
