General Comments

My first Honda VFR750 748 was the 1986 FG model and what a machine it was, had been stood around for much of its 20 year history but fired into life on the touch of the electric start, only needing the front fork seal and rear mono shock replacing. The engine was bullet proof and provided a decent amount of power. The bike was a bit heavy but was forgiven when on an open road, the engine roared as you hit the magic 100 bhp at 10,000 rpms! It took corners like a proper sports bike and cruised like a true tourer, it could hold its own against a lot of modern bikes and it was easy to understand how Honda had over-engineered this machine at a massive cost to them.

Someone decided to steal it and smash it into 3 cars so this little bit of motorcycle history is no longer around but if you get the chance to own this particular model then I would keenly encourage it.

I've now ended up with the 750 FP model and although a better looking bike, it feels a little tamer to ride than the FG, it is in essence a reliable bike that behaves well on long long trips (riding to Manchester once a month). It's a refined ride but given the choice, the FG would win my vote. I can only describe the FG as the naughty little brother of the VFR range.
