MotoWorld's 1986 AMA Road Racing Year in Review

I just bought an 86 VFR 750, can't wait for warmer weather to take it out!

A great bike, I had one for nearly 20 years. I bought it with 6800 miles on it in '03, just sold it the weekend before Memorial Day because I rarely rode it anymore (too busy in our new-to-us home, and the roads where we live aren't what I grew up with in the SF Bay Area). I hated for it to just gather dust so I was lucky to find someone who'll give it a good home and won't tweak it out or stunt it. Hope you enjoy yours for years to come!

Met Randy Renfro in 92 when he rode the rc30 commonwealth honda. Nice guy, approachable, no attitude, unlike Doug Chandler!😲😲

Stockton's own Flyin' Fred Merkel, on board one of the most gorgeous superbikes ever built!

It really was one of the great looking bikes! I was lucky to have one for nearly 20 years. Just sold it, but love watching the classic races from the 80s and 90s. (hard to believe they're classic now, I attended some of them!) It's interesting how the VFRs look a little bit like the GP NSR 500s in Rothmans colors, but that might just be me/wishful thinking. They're beautiful enough on their own to not make that comparison, but watching footage of Wayne Gardner racing the NSR in the mid 80s made me kind of see a bit of family resemblance.
