Made it home. Well into maintenance routine. Changed out fuel to non ethanol, engine oil and filter, and brake and clutch fluid. So far so good. Picture also of it's 84 VF750F stable mate

Thanks all again for the guidance. Won't be picking up till next weekend. First on agenda is changing out all the fluids. Then a thorough cleaning. I'm sure enough will be noticed by then to keep me busy. I'll post some picks of the process

That pretty much sums up the evaluation and the decision to proceed. Enough of the crucial core requirements were met. Thanks for the input

Pulled trigger on deal but not at asking price of 4K. No way could it rate 5K The beauty was only skin deep and actually it's saving grace. Bodywork and seat in great condition. It had come out of a collection located around Traverse City in 2016 Seemed to run OK but must have sat for awhile in damp environment; many steel fasteners rusty. Other notes; engine quite dirty, all hydraulic lines need replacing . Clutch slave actuator past leak affected engine paint, I could go on but you get the picture. To answer the matter with regards to wheel size; fitted 16 front and 17 rear. Fitted with Metzlers that were so slicked up you would wonder if they would hold a turn. Has potential but............. Overall definitely not even close to a turn key item; in dire need of some decent maintenance/rehab at a minimum. Like many here; been there before

FWIW I'll post the result. As it says in your sig......"I couldn't afford not to buy it" Thanks

Captain 80's...........What a beauty!!!!!! Not a skinflint myself....you get what you pay for....hopefully. A couple of bucks is trivial if the overall bike is in great condition. Tomorrow will tell....hope I can sleep tonight

4K OBO

Thanks for the input. Without damage all the way around. Supposedly never tracked or raced but built and sorted out by a racer and used as a weekend rider. 2000 era CBR suspension upgrades Hindle exhaust system I would be the third owner. Looking at tomorrow Another pic

Here's another angle

Owner of an 84 VF750F and a Gen V. Looking for a new project. Stumbled across a very clean 86 VFR with 2000 CBR suspension upgrades, and 10K miles, well.......... any thoughts about the suspension change and approximate value. Thanks.
