88lx5oh Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) 97 Honda VFR 750 similar to my 800, but not a whole lot. seating position is almost identical, and it has the single sided swing arm. but its a 750cc v4, with gear driven cams, makes around 97 whp., pretty kick ass for a 97 lol. the bike is completely stock down to all the reflectors and big ass mudflap in the back. has the owners manual and tool case too. has brand new tire on the rear, front tire is about 80% tread, brakes are about 90%, chain and sprockets in great shape, and just had an oil change at a honda dealership. it was to good of a deal to pass up. the carbs were gummed up, got that taken care of last night, now it runs like a dream. after i got the old gas drained out i put some new in and took it for a joy ride, it hauls some ass, and is light on its feet. gotta love the gear driven cams in these things, cant wait to get a pipe on it, these things sound nasty with a pipe. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/SL370550.jpg Edited March 1, 2010 by 88lx5oh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponyjr1647545514 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yes they do sound great. I have a two brothers old school c-4 pipe. Check out delkevic exhaust on ebay. They make the badest pipes for the 4th gen. A jet kit would be an good addition too. I have a dynojet on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Very nice. I'd pick one of those up for cheap. I did a carb job on a v-4 ONCE, and never ever again!!! What a nightmare! Gear driven cams FTW though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Which one is the touring bike now and which is the sport? Are you going to do the full exhaust and cut the cat to get that sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 The only reason these bikes gain my interest at all is because of the sounds they can produce. Head turning for sure. Is it getting new paint too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it getting new paint too? probably not.. its in pretty decent shape, so ill just keep it the way it is. i want to cut the can down get a seat cowl and maybe some stickier tires on it. and call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 A friend showed me the ad on craigslist for this and I recognized it as your bike. Do you still have it? Any interest in cash rather than a trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
