Ascalon Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 There's a vintage and classic show that happens near me in Ireland called the Spirit of Dunboyne show. It's full of classic cars and bikes from every era, has a very relaxed atmosphere and is open to all. I've been going for as along as I;ve been int he area. But last year I spotted a gem and this year got a few nice pics. A VF750 racer with a Fireblade front end and swing arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I suspect that is a VF1000R with 750 body, blade forks and wheels, arm is stock. A wolf in sheep's clothing as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it still has the sticker for the remote shock adjusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VF1000RS Posted September 29, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 29, 2016 Should trim those mounting tabs off along with the frame mounts for the rear passenger pegs. But yes, looks like a 1000R with 750 bodywork. First year R with the narrower heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascalon Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Wow, never copped that meself. It did sound fairly amazing. The meet up is a racing past appreciation event, with a few parade laps around an old road circuit. It means that the machines don't get thrashed, but they do get to give voice to their old ways. :) Must try and have a chat with the guy who owns it next year. He has been there for the last few years. I'll bring over my own battle cruiser (87 VF1000 FF) next time and that should be a good enough excuse.
