UP FOR AUCTION TODAY IS MY 1984 VF1000R SPORTS TOURER

I AM A PRIVATE COLLECTOR AND THE BIKE IS SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS

THE BIKE IS IN STORAGE, HAS NOT BEEN RIDDEN FOR 18MONTHS OR MORE AND HAS SOME FAIRING DAMAGE DUE TO BEING KNOCKED OVER WHILST IN STORAGE. THE LAST TIME I RODE THIS BIKE IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH AWSOME POWER AND SUPERB HANDELING EVEN BY TODAYS STANDARDS, HOWEVER THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING AND MAY NEED REPLACING OR ADJUSTING AT SOME POINT. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, I COLLECT BIKES FROM THE 1980's THAT WILL LOOK GOOD IN ANY COLLECTION AND OFFER THE ASTUTE BUYER AN EXCELLENT RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE YEARS TO COME. THESE BIKES ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND AND WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE AND COLLECTABILITY AS THE YEARS PASS.  

TOTALLY ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH SOLO SEAT COVER

THE BIKE IS STRAIGHT, HAS GOOD ORIGINAL PAINT WITH SOME FAIRING DAMAGE AS PER PHOTOS DUE TO BEING KNOCKED OVER WHILST IN STORAGE.

 I BOUGHT THIS BIKE TO SIT ALONG SIDE MY CB 1100R AND TOGETHER THEY MAKE A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF CLASSIC 80's HONDA SPORTS BIKES. 

BIKE IS NOT REGISTERED AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED SINCE 2001. IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.  

INSPECTION OF THIS BIKE CAN BE ARRANGED BY CONTACTING JOHN ON 0415 410 919 B/H OR EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER. THE BIKE IS LOCATED  APPROXIMATELY 15 MINS FROM WINDSOR 2756 NSW. I AM HAPPY TO HELP INTERSTATE OR OVERSEAS BUYERS BUT ALL COSTS AT THE WINNING BIDDERS EXPENSE. 

VIEWING PRIOR TO AUCTION FINISH IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AND DRIVERS LIC OR OTHER ID WILL BE REQUIRED TO VIEW THE BIKE. SORRY NO TEST RIDES AS THE BIKE IS UNREGISTERED AND HAS NOT BEEN STARTED FOR 6 MONTHS.  

SELLERS NOTE ;PLEASE NO TIME WASTERS , GET YOUR WIFES / BANK MANAGERS / MOTHERS  PERMISSION BEFORE YOU BID, YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY NOT LOOK!

10% DEPOSIT REQUIRED AT CLOSE OF AUCTION WITH BALLANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION FINISH. I AM HAPPY TO HOLD THE BIKE FOR THE WINNING BIDDER BUT PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION FINISHING AS I NEED THE FUNDS. IF PAYING BY PAY PAL THEN ALL FEES ARE TO BE MET BY THE PURCHASER.

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING


On 08-Nov-09 at 11:10:03 AEDST, seller added the following information:

CORRECTION:       THIS IS A 1985 VF 1000RF                     

EUROPEAN SPEC VF 1000R

GENUINE 35,000KM TRAVELLED

From the information I have there was an Australian delivered 1984 VF 1000RE

  The 1985 VF 1000RF and the 1986 VF 1000 RG were not Australian delivered bikes and thus were given the European specifications, making this an even rarer bike to own and add to your collection. 

 The VF 1000R followed the CB 1100 RB, RC and RD and given the prices these bikes are now fetching one can only imagine what the values of the VF 1000R's will be in years to come. 

I have been asked a number of times what the reserve is, it is very reasonable and less than half the price reached by the 1984 VF 1000RE recently here on Ebay. This bike will be sold and when you consider its rarity and the values its earlier brother, the CB 1100R's are fetching you will be on a winner with this beauty.

Please note that until the reserve price has been met I reserve the right to remove this listing from Ebay for whatever reason.                 Once the reserve has been met I will let the Auction run it course.


On 10-Nov-09 at 19:39:16 AEDST, seller added the following information:

The VF 1000R is on the market and will be sold to the highest Bidder.

 I have had lots of offers but feel it only fair that the Auction runs its course and that the market dictates exactly what this Highly Desirable and Collectable VF 1000R's selling price is.

Please note my Payment Terms, as previously stated.   

                      If you do not agree with these terms, just don't bid and ruin it for the genuine folks out there

10% DEPOSIT REQUIRED AT CLOSE OF AUCTION WITH BALLANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION FINISH. I AM HAPPY TO HOLD THE BIKE FOR THE WINNING BIDDER BUT PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION FINISHING AS I NEED THE FUNDS. IF PAYING BY PAY PAL THEN ALL FEES ARE TO BE MET BY THE PURCHASER.

Good luck and thank you to all the genuine people out there.

 


On 14-Nov-09 at 12:36:14 AEDST, seller added the following information:

Due to a number of requests, I removed the VF 1000R from storage and have just taken more pictures in a better light and am happy to email anyone that sends me their email address. (this is a damn sexy bike)  

Unfortunately I cannot add additional pictures to the  listing for some reason.

I have had offers to sell the VF 1000R and end the auction early but due to the amount of interest, this auction will determine what the bike is worth and will be sold to the highest bidder.

Not long to go now so get your bids in and avoid being dissapointed by a last minute bidder.

There are not too many of these VF 1000R's around these days, so once its gone, its gone!

Dont forget my terms of sale, inspection most welcome prior to auction end 10% DEPOSIT REQUIRED AT CLOSE OF AUCTION WITH BALLANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION FINISH. I AM HAPPY TO HOLD THE BIKE FOR THE WINNING BIDDER BUT PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION FINISHING AS I NEED THE FUNDS. IF PAYING BY PAY PAL THEN ALL FEES ARE TO BE MET BY THE PURCHASER.
