New to me 1985 VF1000R

Just pivked up a 1985 VF1000R project today. It does run but needs a bit of work. Main issues are Tires, Battery, Rust in tank and a full and proper tune up. Last owner rebiult the carbs stripped it to the frame for a repaint. It has a K&N filter and came with Supertrapp exhaust plus a solo seat cover. Once I get the ownership sorted I will start to look into it more.

I sold my 2001 VFR800 over the winter but can't seem to stay away fromn the V4 Hondas.

 

Holy strap overkill Batman! Nice find though. A VF1000R is on my list of someday bikes.

I have 5 straps but the ends are 15 feet long and tied up all over. I also have a wheel choke on he front tire.

I have my Bandit 6 for the street right now and a Ruckus scooter to get to work and back. This will be a project that isn't rushed.

 

Looks good. The panels are usually all rashed up so that makes things easy. Look forward to seeing the progress.

 

Bike looks good, i look forward to seeing more when you tear into it.

Good Luck

 

Nice find, it don't look bad.

 

It looks pretty complete and looks to be a great starting point if you're looking to restore it. You've even got the stock exhaust. Definitely a great find. Congratulations.

 

How much did u payed for it ?

 

Looks good and mostly complete. Good platform to bring it back to 100%!

 

$750. the last owner rebuilt the carbs and a lot more. He was to short and light for the bike.

 

nice find for $750! do keep us posted about the developments.
