Barely surviving in a field in Alvin, Texas, this 1984 VF750F is looking for a new home. With a suggested drag-home price of only $600, this example of criminal neglect shows an amazing 9617 miles on the odometer. Normally I'd be more than a little skeptical of that claim, but the vintage license plate shows that the bike was last registered in 1986, so the miles could conceivably be actual. In one of the most positive bits of hyperbole I've ever seen in a motorbike ad, the seller states, "has been sitting for at least two years, so there is some surface rust." I'm thinking both of those claims are somewhat…ahh...understated. Is there a title? Of course not. My guess is that this engine suffered at the hands of a throttle-happy squid when the infamous cam oiling issue reared its ugly head, and this poor soul was pushed into this Texas field and forgotten. Best of luck to seller and buyer.
If ever there were a rat rod Interceptor project, this might be the perfect candidate, complete with the word "SAVE" scribbled on the hopelessly scarred fuel tank.
