Up for sale is my 1965 Honda VF1000R from my collection and it is in pristine condition and is listed with an astonishing 442 miles. The bike sat indoors for 27 years but that a full refresh has already been completed (details below). Honda’s enthusiasm for the V4 engine layout in the early 1980s was such that by 1984 the VF range comprised six models and the fastest and most glamorous was the VF1000R: a limited-edition super-sports machine that was created, with little expense spared, to dominate production racing in the way that the straight-four CB1100R had done three years earlier. Refresh details Flushed brakes, add stainless steel braided brake lines, rebuilt rear master cylinder Lubed and adjusted throttle and clutch cables Flushed cooling system Torqued and checked all chassis fittings and fasteners, check/tighten steering head bearings, Replaced shock (rear) with Hagon coil-over upgrade, shock was valved and springs for me being a 180 lb. solo rider optimum. Replaced battery, NGK spark plugs, Performed compression check and full tune, including clean and synch carbs, flush fuel tank and add 1 gallon bath metal rust remover, replace petcock assembly (leaking). Added engine top-end oiling kit from Daughtry Motorsports (early VF1000's were reported to suffer top end oiling deficiency and this kit addresses that fully). Includes oil filter with adapter for top-end oiling kit. Replaced original tires (old and cracked) with brand new Bridgestone Battlax BT45's. Went to 150/70/17 rear (stock was 140) and 120/80/16 front (stock size).On Jul-17-17 at 18:16:28 PDT, seller added the following information: Reserve price has been lowered!
