- In 2018 I found 4 VF1000R's after responses to my "Wanted" Ad paid dividends. I restored these into 2 Nice examples using the best parts form all 4 bikes.
These were there days before I was shooting Video of my restorations, so please enjoy the slide show.
Im not a professional, just a guy playing around with bikes for fun.
I remember these bikes, I had a 500lc, and one of these was twice as much new, I'd have loved one, but many people wanted a 500lc too, fab times, amazing bikes, Rg500, gpz900 gsx1100 slabside, the bike were better then, individual had character
One of the most beautiful bikes from the eighties.
Yes they are, I agree !
I had one in 1986 and loved it for 6 years. Now I have another and it puts a smile on my face every ride. It is as new and beautiful and I love it all over again.

Congrats on having a beautiful VF1KR Mike, ride safe !
Nice !! I had a VFR400 NC30 , and a VFR800i . Awesome !
Thanks for watching my Video. Beautiful bikes you had !, I always liked the NC30. I still have my VFR800 (2014) its a very nice bike.
I owned an 1985 Honda Sabre, V-4 1100 cc engine. When i adjusted the valves the cams were good, and i rode that Bike up until 52,000 miles before i sold it. All it ever needed was routine maintenance and a clutch. The power was fantastic and addictive !
Right on
What a find! I’m jelous!
Thanks for watching & Commenting. Yes, I got very lucky indeed, I'm not sure the same thing could happen again, I was a bit surprised when I landed 4 of them.
struggled mightily to choose between one of these and the just released VFR750, in '86, the VFR won, the pearl white was unbelievable in person, but have ALWAYS wished I could have picked one of these up too.. Thanks for the video.. good times
Thanks for commenting on my video/channel Mark. the 86 VFR750 was a beautiful bike too. I have a 2014 VFR800 in pearl metallic white and Its stunning.
Those bikes were known as one of the great early sport tourers. Would love to have rides one. Great stuff
Thanks, quite a heavy beast of a bike really. But probably one of the most beautiful bikes Honda built
Great Video! Just found your channel. Subscribing.
In 86 I bought a VF1000R from Freedom Honda in Connecticut. They couldn't give them away. I loved it. It was the ultimate interstate cruise missile. I sent away to "Motorcyclist" Magazine for a zerox copy of a 24 hour test they ran on it. It was big, top heavy and fast. I owned it until 95 when Life got in the way and I had to get rid of it.
The one Bike, Car etc. That I truly wish I could get back.
Thanks for the feedback ! Yes the VF1KR is a heavy bike for sure. I dont have mine any more either, I moved on to others in the collection, truly beautiful bike though.
Hey any chance you have spare parts from the additional two bikes? I’m looking for a gas tank for my 86’ VF1000R!!
Hi, Thanks for watching. No Sorry, the bikes and all the spare parts are now long gone.
Very nice! I must have committed several of the Deadly Sins on the list watching this lol. Between you and the digitalpizza guy's CBX restorations, I'm turning a nice shade of green. If you haven't seen any of his vids, I definitely recommend checking them out.
Thanks Ill definitely check out digitalpizza guy !!
I had one brand new!
I'm restoring 2 first gen zx7 s.
Yes, I remember you mentioning that on one of my other videos comment section, should be alot of fun. Ill be doing my 1990 ZX7 as soon as my CBX is done.
One of the best bikes I ever owned.
Nice !
Thanks!
@@true-moto-resto I got my eye on one VF1000R but the bike is in really bad condition. The mileage is low, but the owner neglected it. I think I will buy it. We’ll see.
@@teokastelan2930 They’re worth saving. Just be prepared for the cost and the challenge of finding parts. Most of all….have fun!
@@true-moto-resto Absolutely ! And they’re amazing bikes ! I am aware of cost and trouble of finding parts. The good thing is that the bike is complete. Yeah it’s not a problem. I work with bikes. This one will stay with me. I will restore it. And I will have fun. Thank you !
@@teokastelan2930 Right On! they're one of the best looking bikes of the 80's IMHO. If the bike is complete, thats more than half the battle, should be alot of fun.
I'm looking for one.
Me too, I sold mine a few years ago and I want another
