EURO 1983 VF750F with 267 miles on Iconic Motorbikes, located in Panorama City, California

Sitting at $5K with 6 days left -reserve has been met.

Third up for Iconic Motorbikes today: a rare Euro-spec example of Honda’s legendary VF750F. With just 267 miles and a Iconicmotorbikeauctions.com!
The original CB750 made Honda a serious force to be reckoned with, but a decade or so after its release, its fellow Japanese manufacturers had caught up and Honda’s dominance in the market was waning. Big Red’s answer unexpectedly came in the form of a new V4 platform. A year after the Sabre and Magna models were released in the US in 1982, Honda replaced the shaft-driven V4’s with the much sportier VF750F Interceptor. The new V4 was born out of new AMA regulations in 1983. That year, the American Motorcycle Association’s Superbike class announced it’d be limiting the displacement of four-cylinder bikes from 1000cc’s down to 750, and requiring all entries to be production models using the stock chassis.
Adhering to the 1983 AMA regulations ultimately prompted Honda to produce its first-ever road-legal race-replica production model — a type of motorcycle Honda still produces to this day. The VFs in showrooms were also extremely similar to the machines being campaigned by Honda’s factory racers. That was a major selling point for the bike, as it started dominating the competition right out of the gate. In its debut season in 1983, eight of the fourteen Nationals were won on the VF750F.
This is a Euro-spec model (note the livery and gold wheels) – the seller imported this bike when it was new from the United Kingdom in 1983. The odometer shows 267 miles.
Modifications:
-Battery tender lead
Currently located in Panorama City, California, this Honda is offered on a clean California title.
Please Note: This bike did not come with a 17 digit VIN originally and digits were added likely when the bike was imported to bring it to 17 digits. As such there is no VIN report for this bike.

I got mine about 2 years ago......had to go through the fuel and hydraulics but was able to get her running again. Fantastic bike! Also came without a title but I got that resolved too. Still have to return the blinkers to OEM.....

 

Nice … the one at iconic was being serviced and all bodywork was off … it was super clean. I would have bid on it but I’m downsizing…

Such an iconic & classic design!

My buddy in St Augustine called me last week to inform me he's selling his '95 RC36, wondering if I would be interested.

"Nope" I also mentioned my preference for the 1st and 2nd Gens. due to body design. I think these 1st Gens were the best looking of all generations, to be honest.

 

I LOVE my 1000f … the look is simply awesome to me

I had one of those so long ago that the world was still in black and white! Loved the gold Comstar wheels against the blue/white.

 

The film exposure time was extra long in those days too. You can't even see the struts holding the bike up! Did you get tired holding that position? The blurred backdrop is a nice touch.

 

It just dawned on me that I got another RC15 in that 3 bike plus parts delivery in July. It's not a "Euro" version but just a 1st Gen that will need some work. Came with a bunch of spare cowls and tanks as well.



And a bra for the front lower cowl in another parts deal back in 2024.....

 

Sold back on the 6th for $11,128!

What a beautiful bike!!!
