This past week I put Project 19 on the road for a 40-mile shake-down ride. The bike ran and rode perfectly...and it looks great! There's a few details to attend to before it's ready for photos and its For Sale sign. In the meantime, the next victim is on the rack for its tear-down and inspection.
Project 15 is a gorgeous 1987 VFR700F2 in Crescent Pearl White with only 11,000 miles. This is a true survivor — I can't find any deviation from original equipment other than tires. Produced in October of '86 with production number 976. I found it last year in rural Ohio along with its stablemate, an '86 r/w/b 700. It runs and looks great, but I'll go through the systems and cosmetics in any case. The pearl white color was advertised as a "limited quantity" in 1986 and became a regular color for '87 along with the blue/silver paint scheme. My plan is to keep it in original condition with the exception of tucking in the turn signals, which is easily reversed. This should be a straightforward project and will definitely be a stunner. Stay tuned.
