Description from the seller
Of this Honda, originally released in Rothmans livery, only 530 were made! At the time, this Honda was repainted in Castrol livery. To restore the bike to Rothmans livery there is a Rothmans sticker set included.
The Honda VF1000R Rothmans (RG model) was a limited-production, race-inspired sport motorcycle that was launched in March 1986. The motorcycle featured a powerful 998 cc 90-degree V4 engine delivering up to 130 hp, gear-driven camshafts, and the iconic blue-white-red Rothmans race livery.
History and background Production period:
Produced from 1984 to 1987 under the factory code SC16. The Rothmans edition: released in 1986 as the final evolution (RG variant), in honor of Honda’s racing successes. It was an expensive, exotic machine with a handcrafted character, which was more expensive and exclusive than the standard VF1000F Interceptor, giving it today the status of a highly sought-after collectible motorcycle.
Has been in a collection and will need to be started up again. The engine turns over and the gear shifts engage. This is a nice investment for not too much money.
Shipping is available.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
