    The 86-87 VFR's ara almost the same bike part for part with very slight changes . You will never notice the difference.

    I think the '86 has a center stand and they dropped it for '87. Anyone else, am I dreamin'?

    I personally like the 86 better..but as Toe Cutter said... minor differences like the gauge cluster and paint.

    I also got hooked on an 86 VFR, mine is RWB. I am impressed, my other ride is an ST 1100 plus a couple others in the stable. The VFR is a great machine. Quick question, mine is all original at 23,xxx but without a center stand, did the 86 models all have a center stand? Thanks.

    They did not come with it but was a Honda factory ad on.

    centrestands for an '86 or '87 are rarer than honest congressmen.....and more useful

    I didn't know they were rare, but they sure are useful.
