And the hits keep coming! Today a one owner VF1000R in Texas that has reportedly never seen inclement weather, never had a wrenched turned on it, and until recently never had any replacement parts fitted. Needless to say it will need some reconditioning before it will be safe to ride, but even looking through those horrible photos you can tell it’s incredibly clean. Bidding is brisk and already passed reserve at $6300.

1986 Honda VF1000R for sale on eBay
from the seller:
This bike is part of an estate sale. Bought new in 1986 the owner was an older gentleman that would not ride it for long. It has been stored in a climate controlled building for many years. With only 7611 miles it is like new. Never dropped, touched up anywhere or had a wrench on it (except for the first battery replacement last week). The tires as like new and all engine components sparkle like new. The bike should probably have the fuel system serviced prior to starting. We have NOT touched this bike with a wrench. I do believe that should be the second owner’s privilege.
As you can see in the pictures this is truely a remarkable find for the right collector. This bike has NEVER been exposed to weather and has a clear one owner Texas title.
Had a friend look at it yesterday. Rust in the tank and not as clean as you might think from the pics. Some scrapes down low. Either a slow speed crash or a tip over. Some chipped fairing pint with an awful repair and small ding in the tank.
Thanks Rob. That saves a lot of time. Good job!
Hinton and thanks.
How would you rate this condition?
Also what would you value it at?
What the F does Hinton mean?
Thanks for posting the inspection details on this VF. I had an interest in the machine when it was initially posted, but its probably out of the budget I would allocate for a bike like this. Its great to see unbiased inspection details before a moving forward with a purchase.
I did not actually see the bike but received a bunch of pics from my friend who did see it. Sounds like overall pretty clean but wth the deficiencies I noted. Tag expired in 2007 so has been sitting for a while. Fuel system definitely needs help and cosmetics. Value???? What do you guys think!
It was a typo. It was meant to say “hi Rob and thanks”. C’mon champion ease up
Wheew-weee!
