Steve Rapp's 8th Gen Tribute to '85 VF1000R


Recommended Posts

Even with a 6th Gen RWB Anniversary model,  this is so awesome and tempting!  I knew there was a reason why I always liked AMA legend Steve Rapp!

 

And If you are in the Monterey area near Laguna Seca be sure to check out Iconic Motorbikes.  Tad Dimer the owner is a super cool guy and a massive enthusiast.  Bring plenty of napkins...  Currently they have two VFR 400s there to tempt your bank account balance.IMG_8628.jpg.6b018faa4549f1d2622b6dc0b9654cf8.jpg

Agreed!  I pulled those off of Instagram and zoomed in.  The quality sucks sorry guys!  Hope I can find more...well maybe I don't...  I don't need another replica build!

Custom paint on OEM bodywork, or DCB (dubious Chinese bodywork)?  Looks good from here though.  Anything in Rothmans livery is gorgeous.

The Rapp one has potential, but the photographs almost look Photoshopped. Maybe it's my crappy phone. 

The Rothmans is nice. But I'll take the TT LEGENDS livery any day. See some other thread here where these some good pictures.

The Chinese don't do a fairing set complete with tank for the new VFR😏. This one is a specially commissioned one with paintwork done by Dream Machine in the UK.

Both nice!

 I'm still not sure  if I prefer the '14-'16 with the black fork or the '17  with the black chassis which I've only seen in pictures... what do you all think?

I am biased. 😉 The black frame makes it so much better in my opinion. Here is mine:

Red,white and blue best looking vfr l have seen. Another request for more pics and info. Is the red the original colour?

just got to find a decent paint shop in England now. Red, white and blue 🇬🇧 Perfect colour for a UK bike.

Weird how they went to a silver fork with the black frame.

You could get your bike wrapped for about 400 quid. You can't tell the difference from paint. One of my biking buddies has just had his done and it is superb.

Who wrapped his bike ?

Any pics.

Seen some cars wrapped and look dodgy. 

Boss Dog Wraps and I see nothing dodgy in any of the professional wraps I have seen up close. We are not talking about some cheap ebay carbon sticky paper stuck on a bonnet.
