MODEL SUMMARY.
1997 R Reg. Honda VFR750 F-V in Italian Red, most definitely not an average or typical example, this bike really is quite lovely, and actually exceptional
The very last of the carburettor fed 750s, just prior to the introduction of the fuel injected 800 Fi, this is a UK bike that has had just 4 owners from new, with the last since 2016
24600 miles with service history including it’s original service book with original owners’ warranty card, the original bill of sale, service bills/invoices and numerous old MOTs
It’s last keeper of 7 years is an old skool motorcycle enthusiast whom has been around motorcycles his entire life, and it has been conscientiously maintained by him throughout his ownership having had regular oil and filter changes, recent gold chain/sprockets and excellent matching Bridgestone BT021s
Other pertinent documents and information include a VOSA mileage history print out, and a clear HPI report. MOTd April 2024 with all original Honda books/manuals/keys present
All VFR750s enjoyed an enviable reputation, and these late examples are the best of the bunch. Famously over engineered due to the problems associated with the earlier VF750, this model of VFR was considered to be one of, if not the, finest bike(s) in the world by many journals back in the day
The V4 engine with it’s gear driven cams has a feeling of complete unburstability, with a unique sound track, and good examples of these bikes remain to this day machines of total completeness, being fast, comfortable, a competent sports bike or tourer, and with Honda’s build quality at it’s finest. A truly wonderful, high quality motorcycle
Sweet sounding MTC Max Torque Cans stainless exhaust fitted but with original exhaust in excellent unmarked condition provided, or fitted at customer request
Not to be confused with lesser examples, this bike has led a charmed life, and is a true survivor. Genuinely super clean and original, fit and healthy, it has both low mileage and low ownership provenance. As such, they are just not easily found like this and it is entirely fair to describe it as exceptional
Clearly well cared for all it’s life, it remains what is always was, a beautifully built, decently quick, characterful, well engineered machine, and one that will not only continue to provide excellent service to it’s new keeper, but one that should prove to become ever more collectable and sought after as time goes on
