Click on image for the Cycle Trader link. What: 1987 VFR700 F2
Where: Ridgecrest, California
Why: Original, low miles
Price: $4200
For the 1987 model year, Honda offered only the 700cc "tariff beater" VFR in the U.S. market. Some running changes were made to the 700s during the '86 model year and these were officially known as the F2, available in "limited quantities" in Pearl Crescent White, which became a standard color option for 1987.
Today we have this very complete and original-condition F2 showing only 7450 miles. The seller indicates that he acquired this bike from the original owner, also in southern California, and after bringing the mechanicals up-to-date, has doubled the mileage over the past year. The bike is showing a bit of sun damage from its life in the California desert and the lower part of the fuel tank seems to be a few shades off paintwise, but that could just be the photo. One of the pics shows the rear seat cowl in place and a service manual and OEM tool kit are also included. The seller's price of $4200 reflects the low miles and originality, though I'd want to see more detailed photos, particularly of the mufflers and any possible cosmetic flaws. Unmolested, original second-gen VFRs are becoming fewer and farther, so here's a chance at what looks to be a nice one.
