Just got a 93 VFR750F

I just purchased a 93 VFR750 for $1400. It has 50,300 miles on it. It runs great, but has a few issues. Its idling low. When I come to a stop, it will shut off if I don't keep the throttle turned a little. The second thing is when I was driving it home last night, the neutral light was coming on periodically. The bike also needs a front tire. And the body has the usual wear and tear but nothing major. Other than that, everything else is great. No leaks that I have found.

Was this a good deal for $1400?

 

3rd gen

$1400 could be a good deal.

Tires, I like the Michelin Pilot Roads, others like other brands.

Idle speed screw is located on left side at leg vent. Look for a white plastic thumbwheel.

Neutral light is usually tied to shifter. Could be loose, could be malfunctioning.

Download manual and check it out.

Thanks for the info... Its greatly appreciated.

 

$1400 is a great price assuming there is nothing major wrong with the bike mechanically. I looked at 3rd Gens for a long time and spoke with about 6 or 7 people over the past year who were selling. The prices ranged from $2000 (fair condition) to $3500 (excellent condition.) For what you paid I would have expected the bike to either not run or need some major work. I was ready to drive to Kentucky from Atlanta to purchase one when I finally found one locally that was in excellent condition with @ 40,000 miles. I got it for $2600 and it came with brand new tires, aftermarket pipe, and extra tinted windscreen. Congrats on the bike!!

The issues above are the only true problems with the bike. I adjusted the idle last night so she is running smooth. In fact I rode the bike into work this morning. The guy I bought it from was selling it because he owed someone some $. He was asking $1,600 for the bike but I put the $1,400 in front of him and he handed me the title and the keys.

I guess money really does talk.
