'91 VFR 750 for sale.
Bosco15 Mon 16 Dec 2013, 8:44 pm
Have bought yet another bargain bike. So one has to go.
Expressions of interest before she goes on ebay.
Bought from a guy who spent time and money fixing the fairings from a slow drop and then sold because of baby on the way. Plastic welded and painted in Ducati red, she was immaculate when we got her. In the 4 years that my wife has been riding her, she's been dropped doing a u turn on a hill and fell over when side stand sunk into grass. So has plastic damage again. Tacho doesn't work. Remote fuel tap disabled. Everything else works as it should. Fantastic torquey V four sounds awesome through Staintune. Gear driven cams, these motors are tough.55000km original. Red with white wheels. NSW rego until late Jan. $2000 Newcastle Nsw
Photos to follow.

I love the gear driven cam whine in these.
They sound like a supercharger to me.
Good luck with the sale.

They were a nice looking bike, with integrated turn signals. I'm assuming something like this but in red fairing/white wheels:
Pity I don't have room in the shed!

Hmm - lucky for me it's Xmas and my cash has to be spent somewhere else, or I might be tempted. Here's a red and white one:
Hey Santa, are you listening? After all, four is just one more than Gus has!

This is trusty Rhonda, 58500km and 23 years old, a little bruised here and there but all in all mechanically sound.
Cut out the HONDA letters by hand and found the racing sticker a month or two later, couldnt be bothered doing the other side. lol
NSW rego until January some time. $2000 to forum members.
I'll give you all a days head start and then she's going on ebay

Hey Bosco,
The cogs are ticking in my head, and have to weight up a few things, if the planets align, I`ll PM you. don`t hold your breath, but if I do, it will be soon.
I road one of these back in 93, and can`t remember much about it, apart from having a lot more power than my XT 350 at the time.
How big is the tank in it, and how far to a tank?
How`s your back and wrists on a decent ride?
Cheers John.

I used to ride a Gsxr and Chris rode Rhonda. Every now and then we would swap bikes and Rhonda felt like a lounge chair.
Unsure of tank size, but it does have a fuel guage. There is evidence of repair to the Lhs of tank.
We rode two up Newcastle to Mudgee and range wasn't a problem.
Lovely to ride with plenty of torque from the V 4

Owned the bike for four years. Had 45000km when we got her.
The repair in the pic is bubbling under the paint. Not sure what it is, but it's like a blister. Was thinking of getting tank stripped back and redone when the blister eventually pealed, but it hasn't changed in the last three years, so left it.

For some weird reason I was thinking Newcastle was below Sydney so pick up was going to be awkward .When I realised it was above ,it made it do-able .

Could even bring her an hour or so up the coast for you, if you like.
Give the missus a chance for a last ride.
Nabiac motorcycle museum is a must see if you're in the area. 8 hours from Sunshine coast according to Google maps.

that's the only thing that I had troubles with on Bosco`s, as I can`t drive at the moment, and trying to tee up a driver to do the run, or I would have beat you to it, would have left yesterdaygus wrote:For some weird reason I was thinking Newcastle was below Sydney so pick up was going to be awkward .When I realised it was above ,it made it do-able .
