Honda's wonderful and bulletproof VFR750 arose from the company's need to regain its previously peerless reputation for reliability following a spate of problems with some of its earlier V4 powered models. With such exotic features as gear driven cams the VFR was extremely expensive to manufacture, and it has been said that Honda sold each one at a loss in order to restore its reputation.
This two owner 1993 example is from the second generation of VFRs which saw the advent of 17" wheels and a single sided swingarm. The first owner bought it when working in the USA, then brought it to the UK where it was registered in August 1994. The vendor, a VFR enthusiast since 1990, bought it at Bonhams April 2018 Stafford sale, and believes the recorded mileage of 16,614 to be genuine. It appears to have been well maintained throughout both ownerships. It retains its original silencer, and what appears to be the original toolkit is still under the seat. Last run on 23rd August this year, it is offered for sale only because the vendor is struggling with an increasingly arthritic right knee – the result of an old motorcycling injury, and he now finds the riding position too uncomfortable. A Honda service manual, V5C, previous V5, invoice, and several MoT certificates are supplied. The current MoT expires 20.7.2024. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. It is sold strictly as viewed. Two keys are supplied.
