    This VFR750R was acquired by the seller in 2022 and is now offered in France with a bike cover, original Japanese sales documents, HRC period literature, and French registration in the seller’s name.

    The bike has not been started or ridden under current ownership.

    Japanese-market literature is included in the sale. (although there is a video of it running on the listing page).

    It was sold on the Japanese market in 87 … I believe it’s the small headlight version.

    I had one for 5 years …
    Excellent motorcycle
    Actually quite comfortable.
    Sold it due to lack of spare parts and the cost of spares once you find them. IMG_0129.jpg

    This is the closest that I ever got to that illustrious machine. At least the colours were correct! vfr400.jpg
