1996 HONDA VFR 750FT RC36 MOT 4 APR 2020 31,400 mile For Sale

HONDA VFR 750 FT RC36
1996

MOT to 4 April 2020

Sold once at £3200 on Ebay and then also elsewhere at £2995 but both buyers never turned up

Summer is over and this will reduction £2500 or I keep it for next year NO OFFERS


This bike lives in a heated garage and has been pampered all its life
I have owned her over 20 years with no expense spared as you can tell

I'm selling simply because I am giving up biking due to arthritis
but will buy a large scooter at some point to stay on two wheels

Gutted to see this go
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The bike is not long back from Mike Hose Motorcycles in Wallasey Wirral

Whilst there the entire bike was gone through including fork rebuild with new seals etc, carb clean out and lots more including a full service.

So I put two new Bridgestone tyres on as well whilst there
Oh eck, let's rebuild the calipers too... safety first

Read up on Mike ... he has been out and set this bike brilliantly,
you will not be disappointed

In short £1, 400 spent, but hey, the bike is now the dogs whatsits
and worth every penny for the ear to ear grin and not just from me

So whilst there I was put on to a brilliant painter and the bike was repainted and the paint is a mile deep that simply cannot be shown in pictures
and that was another cool £1000
I have been undecided about the graphics as to whether go custom
or VFR, so you have a blank canvas to be original out there

As you do, you get carried away.. let's add £110 of stainless fairing fasteners
and get the wheels colour coded and highly polished
Yikes how much?, but wow does she look so nice now

Not finished with that I've added colour coded aftermarket mirrors
for the extra indicators. I have the originals that simply bolt back on

The bike is dusty and can you imagine the deep shine when polished?
Those wheels to are literally a mirror finish when cleaned

It has a very distinctive sweet engine sound, is narrower than most 4 cylinder bikes which are inline, and has no cam chain to adjust or replace.
Maintenance doesn't get much easier
++++++++++

So the bike then had her MOT

There was a slight imbalance with the brake disc
So no messing around with safety
A brand new Honda front disc fitted at £229 (better than EBC)
Brakes are fantastic now
++++++++++++


I've fitted colour coded mirrors with built in indicators ... I still have the originals and o mode dome to the original bike..

The seat hump gives that sporty look and has little slots cut out
so the grab handles were colour coded and left on without being noticed
Flip the hump off and you have a two seater with grab handles with no messing
or room for luggage and handles to use your bungees ... Clever that ...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the past I have also fitted a brand new genuine Honda
headlight subframe as the original was a little rusty
+++++++++++++

There are more nice little touches that go unnoticed

Check out the chain guard ~
A Scottoiler has been added too
There is also a double bubble Novo screen that sets the bike off fantastically
and gives that extra bit of riding comfort and protection from the rain
And the hidden stainless down pipes are a God send,
but I have left the original can as that V4 sound is pure magic
Oh, and I added a mudguard extender to keep the muck off the engine
although it doesn't ever see rain let alone muck
And let's not forget those crash bobbins too
++++++++++++

The VFR was said to be the best all rounder in its day and long after
and still holds it's own today without much effort
and without the complications of modern bike technology
Just insured fully comp £130 with all mods declared

145mph is good enough and so is 40mpg (easy and more)
-----------------------------------------------

These VFR's are in good condition are just going up and up in price
Check Ebay £4995 and not as nice as this
£4195 and not as good as this
And do these bikes have new everything fitted? NOPE

£3, 200 is a fixed price for a stunning bike that needs nothing and will
stand out in the crowd and certainly next to any other VFR
------------------------------------------------

I have the original Honda tool kit that goes with the bike
and also the adjuster tool for the rear axle
There is a brand new rear luggage rack thrown in
and a full waterproof (never been tested) cover too
Somewhere I have a Haynes manual I will try to find
-------------------------------------------------- ----------

I have just sent off for a replacement V5 as it's been years since I've seen it
I will give proof of ID and a full receipt
There are two Honda keys plus a spare cut one
-------------------------------------------------- ---------


Here are a couple of quick video links of the bike running and a look around
- details above
- details above

The bike starts on the button first time every time even from stone cold
and idles perfectly

Today I have ordered a new battery, which will be here tomorrow

This bike wants for nothing accept a new owner and tons of summer fun
and posing

---------

Obviously no tests rides as SORN'd
But you can hear and see for yourself on viewing
and run through the gearbox on the stand etc
-------------------------

VIEWINGS

I am not available after 2pm Fri, Sat and Sundays
Any other time is fine be arrangement
I drive a lot so will return calls when I can if I miss any

Please feel free to email, text or call with any questions
No swaps etc ... This is strictly a sale


For safety... I will meet you at my local petrol station two streets away
- details above
Please bring ID and then we'll sit and have a cuppa at mine and you can take your time viewing

No warranties are given or implied and viewing s are definitely encouraged
as I want to see you try to hide your smile when you see this in the flesh

PAYMENT

Cash or bank transfer only please

Thank you for looking at my listing and please check out my long term 100% positive feedback for your peace of mind
===========


Please note : This is not a sale that I need to do and I am in no rush and not accepting any offers as I know I can actually get more having seen
what has sold for a higher price and less quality

It costs me so little to keep it in the garage ....


You will not find a nice looking VFR750 than this for this price with all
these new parts and tasteful upgrades and sensible modifications for this price
I don't expect this bike to be for sale for long

At £2995, this is a steal and an investment and you get one of the smartest VFR's with no issues... If I had more time I would ask £3995 and wait for the right buyer

This model VFR in excellent condition has sold on EBay for over £4, 000.. I'm giving up sports bikes for health reasons but won't give this away although at £2, 500 it is a steal now
