Hi all, I know this is short notice but what the hey.... First a little background... I have owned several motorcycles (Currently ride an 87 Goldwing Interstate) and I ride a lot... well as much as I can here in Maine. The point is, I have experience. I have owned a couple wings, some standards, a couple HD's but never a "sport" bike.... When I was shopping for my last bike, I wanted an Inteceptor setup as a sport touring, but could not find one but got a great deal on my wing. Well, I just got rid of a couple of guns (Toy equity... no bank account for me, just guns....) anyway I sold some stuff and have been looking for a project. I found a 1986 VFR700F with 12K miles but needs costmetic work... $600... Like I said, the guy said I can start it and drive it around the lot but it needs a back tire, and is not legal at this point. But, like I said I am looking for a project too... But not too big of a project. What should I look for in lines of damage or other problems... the front left fairing is cracked, and all of the plastic looks 25 years old and I am looking forward to buying and having replacements painted (The project part) but I do not want to get something that will be over my head. Any suggestions? I love Honda's and absolutley love the look of this bike... just looking for advice or encouregment
Welcome to site. There will be some that will jump on this thread soon enough to give you opinions. I don't have anything knowledgeable to post.
