700 vfr sitting in a scrap pile...

Hey guys i was out on a ride and around the corner from my house theres a ranch and i saw a scrap pile with what looked to be a motorcyle with red white and blue on the tail section... i pulled over and took a look at it... its pretty well a parts bike... gas tank was there most all the plastics where missing except the tail fairing..engine and exhuast were there.. rims tires front fender... headlight is square.. not sure on the year could go back and look at tomorrow and take pics.. im pretty sure it a 700 because ou the jug it says 698cc... the engine looks pretty complete... stator cover is fined and says honda... says hydrilic clutch on the slave cylinder... i guess it fixable if you wanted to put alot of time... talked to the owner hes a old timer in his eighty said hes going to take it to the scrap and make him a offer im sure he talking like 20 bucks...or some whiskey... i dont want the bike.. but if anyone here wants it to look at it and lives near reno nv shoot me a email.. it was getting dark ill post some pics tommorrow

 

RIP.


....it's a VF, not a VFR

 

Why not a VFR? Did the 86 VFR700 not say hydraulic clutch on the cover or something like that? Nothing in the post that would lead me to believe its not a vfr.

 

i betcha it has chinese bearings which lead to it's untimely demise

 

ONLY VFs stated "hydraulic clutch" on cover.

square headlight is another clue as VFR's is a long rectangle

 

Sparks? That is right down the road. Maybe I'll swing by and snatch it up.

 

not a vf...its a vfr.... fuel petcock in the side of the fuel tank...red white and blue.. sorry didnt get back there today for pics... had to do family things but will get there tomorrow.. just figured some one might want it... come and get it drewl

 

http://dude knows hes bikes....its a vf700f... after putting it on its kick stand and looking at it closer...thats what it is heres some pics.. still hate to see it go to scrap if some on could use it...

would make an awesome project - so far away... what does Fred G. Sanford want for it?

 

I think we should all kick in some money and buy it for Squirrelman as a gift

not much if anything... maybe a 20 spot for some whiskey... no title...i f some one here wants it might be able to work on getting it and holding it for a few days while they figure out how to get here to get it.... my wife would kill me if i hauled home another bike for me

 

i'll throw in a nickle.............................................

 

I'd love to come and get it too but it's still a VF. No VFRs in '84.

 

Thanks, lads!

I'm currently looking for a winter project, but not like this; i'll probably just rebuild the '72 CB 125 engine and bike a friend gave me............

 

That tank alone might fetch a couple hundred dollars.

 

I'd be curious to know how the inside of the tank looks.

you know you want it....

 

there are some decent parts left on it....curious as to how it ended up in the scrap pile...... wonder if that RR is any good

 

I would surmise, there is ~ $400 worth of parts on that bike... if the engine is workable, then $700
