Click on image for the eBay listing. What: 1986 VFR750F
Where: Bangor, Pennsylvania
Why: Low miles, original condition
Price: $4650 Buy-It-Now
"A rising tide lifts all ships," as someone once said. And there may finally be signs that second-generation VFRs are beginning to realize their potential in the classic motorcycle market. I recently watched a low-mile 1986 VFR750 sell locally for $4000, and here we have a seller offering his 14,000-mile '86 listed for a buy-it-now of $4650.
This is a complete, original example and shows very well in the supplied photos. The seller points out a crack in the lower left mid-fairing and I notice the windscreen is missing the moulding along the upper edge (NLA). The seat and mufflers look great and the passenger seat cowl is included along with a center stand. The wheels have some staining but some elbow grease should help that. The carbs and fuel system have been serviced and updated with modern rubber bits, and we're told it runs perfectly. The tires are beyond their best-by date.
Asking prices don't indicate value, of course, and we'll probably never know the eventual selling price. But, these second-gen VFRs have slumbered in the marketplace for too long — they represent an important historical marker not just for Honda, but for the modern sport bike genre in general. And they're pretty.
Best of luck to the seller.
