Great choice, Michael.

Congrats, Fred!

Magoo

Nice looking bike right there.

That's a clean copy indeed.

I like the backreast and the bags. I need bags for going to hardware store or storing a diet Coke for a day trip.

Bike manufacturers seem to be falling all over each other these days trying to one up each other in the middleweight 600-750 cc and even the 250-400 cc markets. Its as if they collectively all woke up from a two decade Bender to realize not everyone wants, needs, or can even ride a 1000-1400 cc Rocket, 900 lb Barcolounger with reverse gear or a Portly 34" seat height "Adventure" bike (de rigueur over priced and engineered riding gear sold separately).
From The early 80's to the late 90's I think all 4 Japanese manf's, not just Honda, offered good looking and performing bikes in the small to mid size market. As someone who recently sold 2 bikes and has looked at pretty much every new middleweight offering out there, I can honestly say I am beginning to appreciate even the bikes I passed on from that earlier era even more for what they are vs todays.

So, congratulations Fred1845, your clean looking 86VF700C is July 2024's BOTM.

This may not be I bike I have to have, but I can certainly appreciate it looks the part of what it is. If someone approached me and said you have to ride this from Maine to San Diego, I'd say "Hell Yeah" and probably have a blast.........

Yea, I guess it had to happen eventually. Kerry really loved this bike. I hope he's still cruising along with it. Good choice Michael.

Wait a minute, is that picture in the mountains? I bet he was a real canyon carver on that machine! :-)

Unique for sure, only one I have ever seen with a Windjammer!!

forgot about that one he was a ok dude

As FoimMaine mentioned, is there anybody who would care to give a little more background information on this bike and its owner? I kind of remember some discussion about this bike with a rare fairing way back. I have been on here since 2015, but in the beginning only to get information and answers to problems with my Super Magna. So I cannot say I am a real oldtimer on the board.

He was passed on the Dragon by a car !!
