the VF1000 F2F IS 116 BHP NOT 100 AS LISTED, Most companies list mirrors for this bike but actually only have stock for the vf1000 which was a single stalk rom the bars not the fairing mounted ones of the fully faired F2F. The bike won the TT in 1985 ridden by Jeff Johnson after his race bike wouldnt run so he ran an unmodified street bike.
The bike will accelerate well up to 150 mph unmodified and suffers from the brakes being very poor for the size of bike and in comparison with the brakes on modern bikes.

Parts are hard to come by with only 28 being registered as in use anbd 50 being on sorn as of 2012. So these bikes are rare and many are listed but couold just be frames of machines stripped for spares which fetched a higher price than trying to sell a full bike .
