Is this a good deal???

I had my heart set on a 5th generation VFR but with a new baby and one income (I know you have heard it all before) I am considering lowering my standards to start with any ways.

There is a 1986 VFR-750-F (RWB) for sale locally. It has 32K miles and, from the pics, looks really good. It is listed as a great running bike but you never know. The price is set at $1400 but says that the price is negotiable. The bike looks all factory.

Is this a good deal? How good of a bike are the 86's?

 

I had an '86 for a long time and loved it. If this bike is as good as you say then go for it.

You might be able to get it for $1200. Good price....great bike. :tongue:

 

The bike is rock solid. The first year with the gear driven cams. I still own one and ride it regularly. If the bike is in great shape, they can go for upwards of $3K.

 

I have a 1986 700f2 in decent shape listed for $2800... Bought for 1350 and put about 800 into it.

 

Nice ,, where is it? thats of course you're not getting it..:biggrin: sweet bike not a bad price either, where is it again?

 

I'd jump, I paid $1400 for mine 3+ yrs ago now w/ cosmetic damage & 21K now have nearly 40K w/ no major problems of any kind.

 

My bike is outside of Philadelphia....

 

Off Topic, but a friend of mine is looking at an 86 VF500, and I was wondering if it had gear driven cams like the 750.

 

Sorry fellas but the bike was sold when I found it. I would have told you where it was if I decided not to get it.
