Hello from upstate New York!

Hello everyone! I just bought my first Vfr. I've been a Honda enthusiast since I started riding, and when the opportunity arose to purchase a 1986 Vfr 700 I had to jump on it. So here I am, it runs, albeit a bit rough. So a carb cleaning and a boot replacement is probably necessary. The bike sat for around 6 years but is overall in great shape, with only a crack in the left side fairing. But yeah! I'm stoked to get started and learn from you guys. Great to be here.

 

:welcome: from the left coast :wave:
Congratulation with your new ride, please ride safe and post some pictures to proof.
Otherwise peeps here will call you VFR wanna be......

 

Oops! I didn't snap any pics when I went to pay for it, I'm going to pick it up two weeks from next Tuesday! But here's a picture from the craigslist ad. (I don't think img tags will work for this so here's the link!)

Nice looking bike hope you can pimp her up and put her back on the road soon.
Why is the engine cover is brown?

 

Truth be told, I think it's just sun faded. Nothing I don't think I couldn't touch up though. Truth be told I bought this bike is the one I'm not going to do the work myself on. I've got a couple other older hondas for that haha, namely a 1973 CB500K, 1971 CL350, and a 1974 CB125S.

 

Love those old Hond especially the CB, looking for one to built a cafe racer for my son. Peeps want a lot of $$$$$ for them now
They claim to be vintage lol

 

Great looking motorcycle, hope you have lots of fun with it! And welcome!

 

Anywhere near Buffalo ?? I'm offering to clean your carbs if you can gettem off.

Nice, clean bike, steel-braided front brake lines, but the front turn siggies must go !

 

Welcome! This truly is an outstanding forum. I've been on several with the bikes I've owned and I can say this is hands down the best! Let me know where in Upstate NY. I'm near Utica with an 06 VFR.
