1987 HONDA VFR 400 NC24 R11 (J)

I bought this as a non running project off ebay back in february in literally bits and bobs. Was assured engine ran and was 'very' strong. Really wanted to buy and modify a Honda GL1000 and fit a super charger, iverted forks, wire wheels, signle fast back seat and acewell speedo flushed into the tank but hey ho i'll give ewt a go......
So here goes;

 

I love that breakfast, all those lovely beens infused with Tomatoes, that black pudding and those mega eggs :goodjob: allthough your choive of ketchup is pretty shit.









The bikes not bad either :lmfao:

 

hahaha had to treat myself to the biker specail @ MMC when it was all done, nice maiden voyage to leeds and back first ride out with a stomach full, cramp was not my friend that day and i agree on the choice of suace-they had no brown in my defence and i'm a saucy ba###rd haha

 

Awesome mate!

 

Nice!

 

really really really wish I had the guts and confidence to do that with my Vf the original one, its needs a carb looking at the gears selector looking at and a proper service but I haven't got the space or the tools either ..... I love the VF 1000 F2F bol d'or with its full fairing but there are so many things that need looking at now... probably minor things but things nevertheless. THAT bike you have done looks really top class...

 

Hats off to you job very well done

 

Very nice job mate, been looking at building a vfr4 as my next project when the nc29 is finished.
You have built the vfr version of my cbr4 i built lol


I have a full rebuild thread of both my 400's on here

Brilliant bikes to work on are the 400's and brilliant to ride aswell, if i had the money i would have a garage full of them haha

CRM is big into his 400's aswell

 

Very nice....i agree with Dave red white and blue...best color scheme for honda

 

So jealous, I was looking for one of these for a project and some summer antics.

They're bloody tiny, it's like riding a mini moto for me

 

There was someone selling one but can't remember were i saw it, but you can pick them up pretty cheap

 

I know mate but i cant fit on them properly

 

Why not?
Im 6' 3" and do just fine lol, but the cbr4's are a bit bigger than the vfr's

 

Do you get backache atall?

 

Nt really no, i have a bad back as it is from lifting car engines out with rope round my neck when i was younger and finding out i have an abnormality of the spine lol, but being on my cbr puts my back in a position were it doesn't hurt so it helps lol

 

hey Jess, no back ache or wrist ache, the tank is a very similar angle to the Benelli tornado TRE and so you just rest on that when straight lining. A lot of girls race these as they are lower, very light, extremely powerful to their weight. Suzanne who works in the motorbike department is one of these girls, shes in her 30's and swears by them.
