My last post got eaten by the hacker, so here's the rehash:
1986 Honda VF700, it had 7k miles on it when I bought it from the guy. Cost me $1800 even.
Really nice shape, practically brand new! It's black with red lettering and very very shiny chrome. The rear shocks are so clean they look almost invisible. He took really good care of it. I'll try to get some pics up one of these days.
It came with a windshield and saddlebags, which I removed. Thinking of grinding down the windshield and using it, because at the moment it's the perfect height that the top is level with my eyes. Going to hang on to the bags too, in case I go on a long trip someday.
I did notice one problem though. The front wheel makes kind of a rubbing sound when taking corners below 45 mph or so. Like a hiss with a slight grumble. Hard to describe... anyone know what it might be? He told me before I bought it that the tires need replacing, so maybe I can have the professionals check it out then.
Anyway, it's really smooth, responsive, and surprisingly easier to handle at low speeds than my 440 despite being significantly heavier. I don't feel like I'm being kicked around when the semi-trucks go by anymore, and the engine isn't tearing its hair out keeping up with freeway traffic.
And holy smoking donuts does it go fast!!! Hahahaha! I'm in heaven!
