Having blazed the multi-cylinder trail with a succession of across-the-frame, inline fours in the early 1970s, Honda turned to vee-configuration engines towards the decade's end, the first of this new breed - the CX500 v-twin - arriving in 1978. Of more lasting significance though, was the VF750 v-four of 1982: direct progenitor of that superb, long-running all-rounder, the VFR750/800. Smaller VF400 and VF500 v-fours followed, the latter being one of the most desirable and capable middleweight sports bikes of its day and an increasingly collectible 'modern classic' now. Acquired for the collection in August 2016, this now rare VF500FII currently displays a total of 46,366 miles on the odometer. The machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate; various photocopied pages of technical literature; and seven MoTs (most recent expired 2003).
