Howdy from Houston!


Recommended Posts

I'm normally a BMW GS rider but came across a barn-find '93 VFR750F with less than 3,000 miles and really couldn't pass it up.

All-original as far as I can tell, I've got to address a rusty tank, clean up the carbs and change the fluids before the rubber hits the road.

I'm looking forward to this adventure!

WOW! What kind of Barn was this? That bikes look cared for in that pic. Welcome Aboard! and congratulations. To say I'm envious would be an understatement, that is one lucky find.

3,000 miles in 23 years . . . in my dreams.   Even has the seat cowl.   Been watching C/L for years for a '93  and haven't seen one like that.  Congrats on a great score.  Keep us updated with more pics.

Thanks Guys - good to know that I might have a keeper. I finally started to bring it back to life this past weekend and the big item this time is a rusty fuel tank. I've started to clean it up in preparing to electolytically treat the rust and have ordered some OEM parts to replace what got rusted inside or damaged in the old gas, so I was able to only disassemble a few things in the time I had:
