"channellling the Pleideans"
Its the less desirable model with the "standard" clocks and tail light. the firstmodel had cylinders to echo the "Rotary" theme I guess. I had a lot of fun riding one from Blenheim to Christchurch years ago. I have never been so beseiged with questions from random people about any bike I have ever ridden.Originally Posted by F5 Dave

That fairing made me vomit

The Windjammer fairing is completely period ... tho' the screen is taller than I remember. They look a lot better if they are painted to match the bike
So - that would appear to say more about you than about the bike ..

A mate of mine has one of those pig ugly Vetter Windjamers on a '75 Honda Lead Wing. About as ugly as they come but at least he cut his screen down and it does look better...if that's at all possible
They have two round windows that can be opened up to let air through in the summer.....Had to laugh when I saw him drying his freshly wash grundies with them poked out through the portholes.

That's awesome. Inspiring work!

They seemed to suit lead wings back in the day .. I dunno, back then I kinda liked them .. today I'm not so sure ..

It looks in keeping on the Wing, but they are big bikes, the RE not so much & just looks better naked. Would like to ride an RE. I kinda know what to expect but still would be cool to have tried one.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Holy fuck, it looks like they ripped the front end off a space shuttle and put it on the bike!

They prob cracked a woody after reading a article on VFR750's in a recent practical sportsbike issue, (great mag, but i do blame them somewhat for raising prices on some models of bike).

meh I think that boat sailed with TM & nostalgia. Fine bike, but c'mon, there were a bunch of them & chances are it will be pretty soggy by now & most people don't understand maintenance. Worse was the VF750 Sabre thingy for about the same price. Lemon at a premium. Conversely there was a premo looing Suz GT550 and an 85 GSXR750 for similar. Strong prices but they really were classic bikes, worth the increasingly stiff prices being asked.
Haven't seen you here for a while.

Hey Dave, I do post from time to time, the challange is finding a bike related thread i can add value too haha
Yeah, there were a couple of dodgy VF models for sure, but after the bad press Honda went apeshit over build quality, pretty much from that model you linked to on TM. I 100% agree with you on it not being a "classic" .

The fucking tape on the headlight - no. No no no no no no no. WTF are you doing.
The number boards too. Are they fucking zip-tied to the frame?
This is not how you cafe racer

Holy shit. That's hilarious... I'm trying to imagine a rider and a scene where that'd actually fit in and look good. The closest I've got is in full costume at Armageddon.
