Ebay item number 182237623157 What: 1985 VF1000R
Where: Kansas City, KS
Why: Good-looking rider grade collectible
Price: $7495 opening bid
There never seems to be a shortage of the big VF's on the market. Trouble is, they often live at one end of the spectrum or the other; low-mileage museum pieces or hi-mile projects. This '85 "R" model sits in the sweet spot — not too perfect but one you could be proud to own and actually ride.

Showing 11,700 miles this one sports later model dual headlights, F1 slip-ons (originals included!), period Arai helmet and a matching Honda dust cover. Maintenance seems to be up-to-date and the bike appears ready to ride. And there's just enough survivor patina to assuage any guilt you may have about putting some miles on it.
These bikes run the gamut from $1500 projects to $12000 living room queens. The seller has set the value somewhere in the middle... much like this bike.
