limited BLUE 1985 VF1000R?

has anyone heard of there being a limited BLUE colored VF1000R for 1985?

like this one:

Honda : Interceptor:eBay Motors (item 250512124324 end time Oct-17-09 18:55:14 PDT)

this guys is saying that it's a limited edition but i can't find anything anywhere saying that Honda had ever done this color scheme.

thanks!

 

I could be wrong but that does not look like a factory paint sceme to me

 

i don't know, but it's sharp and i want it! :biggrin:

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This bike is not factory. I have seen it for sale several times and I do believe it changed hands once in that time.

 

Jesus, not again.

NOT Honda factory colors anywhere in the world.

At least this time he has changed his wording and is not claiming it is a rare factory paint job.

 

gear driven cams didsn't start until 86 is that correct?

 

Gear driven cams on 1984 VF1000RE model ....My bike in Australia.

That bike for sale is not an original paint scheme.

 

Yep, not factory and yep, GDC's in 1984 the rest of the world, 1985 in the USA. Ahhhh, E-bay where fantasy quickly is claimed to be reality!

 

With the colour change, makes me wonder if it has been on it's side ...

 

just to let you know this is the second time this bike has been on here. there are far less pictures this time. so be careful with this bike.

 

Honda did offer a blue limited edition color scheme in 1985, but it was in the Rothman's racing colors. Check out the attached file. The bike on eBay looks like a custom paint job to me. Also, gear driven cams were on the 1985 and 1986 US VF1000R models.

 

ok, i've looked at this ad probably 30 times, because i'm seriously contemplating buying the 1000 and selling my 700. I happen to love the color scheme, even tho it isn't factory.

 

Hell, keep `em both.

 

Does ANYONE know where this bike went. I am the owner that painted the bike. Its not factory, just a custom job I DID in the garage. I have been looking for this bike ever since I was stupid enough to sell it. If anyone knows where this bike went, please let me know. Thanks

 

I will keep my eyes open for it.Good luck.

 

Thanks buddy
