    Hey OP--look I can't donate TIME. But I CAN loan the exact tool for the job. If someone else can provide the muscles.
    Its a car "wheeler" shaped for the front wheel of a car> so You'd put the immobile bike on its main stand (vfr750's have a main stand.
    Rock it backwards so the back suspension is compressed and slide the "wheeler" under the front wheel. Then you just wheel it away.
    I'm pretty sure that bike has a hole in the rad so you couldn't really start it for it to self propell.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    eek Shouldn't be hard..

    As suggested above, putting the front wheel on any wheeled support should do the trick. And anyway, the bike looks less than 300kg in weight so 2 or 3 big and/or strong fellows should be able to lift the damned thing and move it one meter at the time. Keen to be one of these fellows if you need me.
    If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be......

    Support Old school is good school

    I have emailed you my details. Just give me a couple of hours notice and I shall be there to help whoever is there to help you. Just get the timing right with the transporter or your bike might end up sitting on the curb for a few hours alone.
