1986 HONDA VF1000R - one owner, all original, 12K miles - Kaplan Motorsports - Connecticut

Can't find an auction for it. Also, looks like it was sold and then damaged during transport, and then returned.

 

Pretty sure this is the same one that is NOT "all original"

 

Good memory! I found the original thread on it and your comments:

Just read this comment in the YT video comments section:

Hey guys, I snagged this one this time. I couldn't believe it came up again for auction. As soon as I saw it, I jumped on it. Ken Jr said it will probably take about ten days to deliver from Connecticut to me in Kentucky.​

Found this for selling price:

US $6,950.00

I think its the same one that's been in their museum for several years. I took this photo in 2018.

 

Looks like it.......

 

I pointed out via comment on Kaplan's youtube channel that the bike they're selling as "all original" , Im not convinced it is, its been painted and in the wrong blue for one. You can see via the "1000R" decals are a totally different colour to the paint. Its been painted in a much lighter blue than original. you can also see the blue overspray on the inside of the upper fairing.

 

Agreed. It's not a matter of having to be convinced. It simply is not original. Plenty of other obvious tells.
