Recently sold at Iconic Motorbike Auctions, this 1989 VFR400R was the model's 3d-generation, the previous designations being NC21 and NC24. This generation fittingly took on the livery of big brother RC30 along with several of the 750's features.
This example presents very well as a rider-grade bike, but has unknown miles without a clear explanation of that anomaly and a selection of small cosmetic issues to show its age — no representation of paint originality. Modifications include aftermarket shock and radiator along with a change to later RC30 forks. The bike lacks required labeling for California registration compliance.
I didn't follow the bidding, but it apparently failed to make reserve and was sold via a post-auction offer. Well sold.
