Searching…
Hi guys, I’m looking for some help actually! My wife Carol loves her bikes as much as I do, (it’s what got us together 37 years ago) and her favourite bike was a VFR750 she bought in about 1993/4. It was painted in RC30 colours (from new we believe) and we did the family holiday with our girls on the bikes for several years as I had a Honda Super Blackbird. Carol sold the bike some years later after having put about 40k on the clock. Of course, other bikes came and went, including a KTM Super Duke and a Triumph Tiger 800 but then two and a half years ago she had a major stroke and we sold all of our bikes. Fast forward to 2016 and she has made such a fantastic recovery she asked me to start looking for a bike for her so she could go for short rides. One look on ebay and there was her old VFR! Twelve years later on and with only another 4k on the clock. A week later and we were collecting the bike (along with a second VFR minus bodywork) from Somerset way. So, here’s the bit where I want help. On the inside of the bodywork panels from when she first owned it, had been inscribed the words ‘A TEAM’. I often wondered if the bike from new had been used in an endurance race or if it had just been a demo but can anyone out there enlighten us? Attached are a couple of photos, one from back in the day and one from Carol’s first ride this year. Loving the mag, keep up the good work. Bertie says: “Wow Steve! What a fantastic story, glad Carol has made such a great recovery. Well, can any VFR lovers/owners help with this story?”
