HONDA V4 ... the bottom end?

(1/2) > >>

Sgt.Pinback:
I had a VF1000F inh the 90th. Came from my brother in law. Good bike, quick Autobahn-burner, very reliable. Made lots of km with her into the Alpes, Slowenia etc.

End of 90th, when I bought my first ZRX, I had to realize, there is nothing more anoying than selling a V4 Honda.
Even one perfect conditon with full service history. But eventually, I convinced a lad to buy her.

OK, thats 17 years ago I now I´ve been offered an early one for a box of beer. More or less neglected, standing for 4-5 years in a barn with broken engine. Is it worth the effort, V4 still the ugly duckly of the brand?


Here a pic of mine inthe 90th, later version with 18" front wheel

Bryanj:
There were two versions, both nasty but one nastier than the other (engines that is)

Sgt.Pinback:
The early one, with 16" front wheel, the Interceptor, had pitting problems with the cams.

I think that was sorted with the later, 18" version. I had no problems at all and bike hat 70 tkm when I sold her.

The one I can get is the early 16" version and has an engine failure.

Bryanj:
I thought there was a difference in cam drive I.E gears or chain?

Wow it is ugly  , but might be worth getting just to make a bit of money perhaps break it for spares
