  • Limited edition Craigs Honda livery
  • Displaying very low mileage
  • Part of a private collection

The Honda VFR750F was manufactured from 1986 to 1997. A very sporty Sport Tourer, it was powered by a 750cc V4 engine developed from the earlier VF750F models. The VFR was announced in 1986, after an initial press viewing at the 1985 Bol d'Or. Honda’s VFR750F is one of the greatest all-rounders ever built. Massively over-engineered, characterful, engaging to ride, beautifully put together, an ideal machine for commuting, touring, track days and two-up, the VFR’s enduring appeal sees many owners unwilling to swap their V4 for anything else.

This very well-presented 'Craigs Honda'-painted VFR is just one of a handful produced by them in 1998 and comes complete with its distinctive VFR number plate. Craigs decided to paint them as a tribute to the RC45 colour scheme and were sold only through Craigs Honda of Shipley, West Yorkshire. The VFR is in original condition, apart from the exhaust which has been fitted with a Pipe Werx exhaust, the original is packaged and boxed and will be sold with the machine on the day. A very clean example and displaying just c.4,677 miles, it is still regarded as one of the great legendary Hondas of the day.
