I’m listing this machine for a good friend who’s not very computer savvy.. The Honda V4 line’s flagship model, at least in its pedigree, was the Honda VF1000R. Derived from Honda’s AMA Formula 1-winning FWS1000 race bike, the R used the FWS’s gear-driven camshaft arrangement. The main differences from the F model were inside the engine: compression ratio was up from 10:1 to 10.7:1; more radical cams with longer exhaust duration; and a train of nine gears to drive the camshafts, replacing the central chain drive used on the other V4s. Effectively, the Honda VF1000R was a homologation special, built, initially at least, to qualify the bike for production racing. This example has only 17,223 km on the clock and but for a few touched-up blemishes on the leading edge of the faring and front fender (right side), it looks like a new machine. The current owner acquired it almost 10 years ago and gave it a few outings before decommissioning it for display in his collection in 2005. I’ve posted a number of high resolution pictures on Flickr HERE and would suggest that you visit the site as there is a lot of good detail in the pics. We’re happy to assisting world-wide shipping.
