Honda VF500 ???

anyone out there is Cyberspace ever owned a VF500 Honda ?
WOT.

 

My neighbour did. he also had a 400.. both died and rotted under his
house...

 

Does he still have them ?

 

Nope,
sold the 400 with ton of rust on it about 10-15 yr ago for $100 and
the 500 he did a bit of work to (pressure tin paint job), and sold for
$500 neither of them running - which will be most of them, they were
unreliable heaps of shit..

 

didnt know they were italian

 

Apparently that is the code for being a heap of shit ..
ask any shitcati owner.

 

Damn, beaten to it.

 

I had a VF500F2 for about 5 years, 84-89, and I saw one parked in my street
just a few months ago, so there are still some around

They were the only good bike in the VF range, as all the others had
camchain problems (hence why the VF750 had cog-driven cams), but it did
suffer what they called "chocolate cams", where the hardening wore off them
after about 25,000km.

Cheers,
Jason

 

"they' tell me that the current generation of V4s'are all directly
descended from them.

split the cases job to replace.
