Garage kept in Gowanus, cash in hand for a test ride. I’ll hand you the title.

Bring your own license plate, or be like half the rest of the city and ride home without one. Willing to ride back to your place if local and pull the plate from there.

Impressive mechanical modifications!

I loved this part of your classified....

"or be like half the rest of the city and ride home without one."



My first RC15 was an '83 VF750F purchased locally in Daytona Beach - about a 20 minute ride away. I had a buddy drop me off and I rode her home. IIRC, I brought a plate with me from one of my other bikes. Gotta say though - there's noting like riding a newly purchased motorcycle home vs. trailering.

GLWS!

 

Don't envy me, it's a disease... I can't not go through and tinker. The bike really does run well though. I put about 1800 miles on it over a long weekend in Vermont, aside from the dopey little plastic coolant plug finally giving up (replaced it with a metal one in an autozone parking lot) it didn't give any fuss whatsoever.

Sort of got nostalgic for it when I took it to get what should be it's final gas fill (for me anyway) on Sunday.

 

an excellent VF, best seen here, but a for the same money you could be riding a much-improved gen 3 or 4 VFR ? unless you want a vintage antique

 

Good looking ride.

 

Yeah....sometimes I wonder what the heck I'm doing driving this old antique around.....when I could be driving something newer!
