I used to work in the UK bike press. I tested a VF750F for Mechanics Magazine in 1983. I loved it.
I was into dirt racing at the time and could not afford a VF as well as my enduro bike.
Fast forward to a few hours ago and I just bought 2 VF750FDs, one complete and running and another in bits.
I am going to overhaul the runner cosmetically and mechanically to make it a good as possible.
The stripped bike I plan to modify and use on track days - leave the engine stock but get as much weight off it as possible, 4-1 exhaust, 17 inch wheels (F2) and an HRC paint job.
Oh man, motorbikes - where would we be without them.
(PS my daily ride is a KTM RC8 R).
Hello to everyone who shares my passion for Honda V-Fours.:smug::smug:

 

Welcome welcome welcome, when you get a chance throw up some photos letting us know how it goes.

 

Thank you.
I'm collecting them on Saturday so I'll post pics when I've got them home.
Definitely excited here.

 

Welcome to the Madhouse:welcome:

Looking forward to seeing photos of those VFRs.:vtr2::vtr2::vtr2::vtr2:

Welcome aboard!!

 

Thank you

 

Nice story, you should start a build thread to keep track of progress on both bikes! I love to see converted racers, especially the v four type. Welcome!

 

Thank you for the welcome.

It willbe a while before I start. I'm in the middle of refurbishing a Ducati 996 at the moment which will take another couple of months.
