1989 Honda VFR750F-K
Registration no. F625 MMJ
Frame no. RC24-2300530
Engine no. RC24E2300529

Introduced in 1986, Honda's VFR750F had a lot to live up to. A capable sports bike, introduced to compete with the likes of Suzuki's GSX-R750 and Yamaha's FZ750, it performed incredibly well as an all-round 'sports tourer'.

Following budget motoring aboard a succession of trusty everyday mounts (FS1E, CG125, CB250N and CX500 to name just a few) the vendor purchased this VFR in 1996 as his first 'decent bike'. Dealer serviced and MOT'd over the ensuing years at DC Butler of Stansted Abbots (invoices on file), the motorcycle was left stock (other than the fitting of the Givi rack system) and became the vendors transport of choice for a couple of years, whenever a car wasn't mandated by circumstance.

At a similar time, the vendors father acquired a CBR1000F as his 'sensible bike' when not riding his various British motorcycles (including several important Vincent's in the sale). After several years in the saddle, it was decided that the CBR was too heavy, and a straight swap took place for the VFR.
Throughout the ensuing years, the vendors father fitted a Scottoiler and a replacement exhaust system, the Honda remaining in use until 2004 when the vendors father sadly passed. Unused since 2004 and now displaying 20,141 miles, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent and is therefore offered strictly as viewed.

Offered with a quantity of invoices, expired MOT's, old V5, old V5C, current V5C Registration Certificate, owner's manual, expired tax discs, Honda service book stamped up to 15,237 miles in 2000, a rider's log and two sets of keys.
