Hello from PISA (Italy)

hello I am andrea, from 'Italy. I'm about to buy my first VFR and I wanted to show a photo to get some advice. The bike has 56,000 kilometers (about 32,000 miles). I pay $ 650.

 

Ciao, Andrea, 56 mila chilometri non è molte miglia (km) su un VFR. Nel complesso dalle foto la moto sembra ben curato. Queste moto sono noti per durare oltre 150 mila chilometri. Non si dice che anno di modello che è, ma a un prezzo di $ 650 mi sembra un buon acquisto. Perdonate il mio italiano come può essere un po 'formale. Benvenuti a questo sito. Buona fortuna e godere la moto. Mi chiami Tom. Ciao.

[Ciao, Andrea, 56,000km is not many miles (km) on a VFR. Overall from the photos the bike looks well cared for. These bikes are known to last beyond 150,000km. You don't say what model year it is but at a price of $650 it seems a good buy. Pardon my Italian as it may be a bit formal. Welcome to this site. Good luck and enjoy the bike. I am Tom. Ciao.]

 

The year its 1989

 

What type of consumption could i get at 60 mph?

 

Nice VFR there, and a 89, didn't know they made it then. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the wacky world of VFR ownership.

 

American Honda never imported the VFR in '88-'89, but the rest of the world got them. They made some changes, 17" wheels and an adjustable screen being the most notable.

Ciao,

 

Thanks very much for the replies.

At the moment I move with a FZR 1000 1990. The VFR consumption will be higher than FZR 1000?

 

No, I say fuel consumption will be better. I have a 1987 Honda VFR700F2 and I get about 6l/100km. Yours should be close, maybe 6.5l/100 km. How much does 87 octane fuel cost in Italy. In Canada it is 0.90/ litre, in CDN $. Very expensive right now.
You will be getting a good deal, for $650.00. As long as it runs and rides good. Make sure it is safe, as it is an older bike.

 

Italy its the part of the world where the fuel sre most expensive. 1 liter cost 1.50$

 

Loved Pisa!!! Sienna was cool too! Welcome, nice pictures

 

Ciao,
ti rispondo da Napoli. Ho una VFR 750 F del '87.
La moro sembra in ottime condizioni (attenzione che il motore a bassi regimi non faccia sentire troppo le punrerie). Se i Km sono originali per una Vfr vuol dire come aver fatto il rodaggio...Una sola cosa non mi convince (controlla bene libreto, telaio etc...), perchè dici che è una moto del 89; la prima serie 86/87 era a braccio doppio (intendo i bracci posteriori), mentre dal mod. 88 in poi è monobraccio. La tua mi sembra a 2 bracci : forse è prodotta nel 1986/87 ma immatricolata 1989? Non esitare a chiedere altre notizoe.
Auguri e benvenuto nel sito dalla sezione Europea !
Ciao
Carmine

Ciao and welcome to the MadHouse from the other side of Mont Blanc.:welcome:

If the bike is running well then that bike is a real bargain for just €650 ($700). If they have been properly maintained those bikes can easily cover a lot more km. The biggest issue was the original RR(Regulator Rectifier) which can fail with little warning and after killing the battery has left many 750F stranded. It is definitely worth fitting a voltmeter. It may not stop the RR failing - but it should warn you if the charging system is failing, allowing you to ride the bike to a safe place before the energy left in the battery is completely drained - rather than be stranded roadside.

Some early European 750F bikes had a camshaft oiling problem/recall. I think that was solved by 1989/90? models.

Good luck and if you are around maybe see you at the 2017 Spadino Memorial event in Courmeyer.

I would like to attend (without victory pretensions of course) to a competitive economy run over 740cc. According to your experience as a consumer I could get?

 

Congrats, looks like it's been loved on mucho
