We got it running and got all the necessary paperwork to take legal ownership of it. Now it's time to sell it on.
It is 100% stock. Right down to the rear fender, tire hugger, exhaust, air box, paintwork and blinkers. No one has messed with it! The original advisory stickers are still on the tire hugger and fuel tank. A difficult feat indeed for a bike of this vintage. Usually by now Johnny Streetrider Squid has gotten to it and ruined it with Monster Energy stickers, Jardine "stunt" muffler, K&N knock off pod filters and (my favorite) flushmounts.
Like every 90s Honda motorcycle, the voltage regulator went bad. This was rectified (no pun intended) by using one from a Suzuki GS500e due to having a larger surface are and heat sink.
The fairings aren't perfect and were repaired. The downside is this is a rare color scheme, in all my years of looking at bikes I've never seen another gray/white F1, which makes finding replacement panels a challenge.
This Hurricane has just 26,000 miles on it and sports a brand new air filter.
We are asking $1,500 for it.
With a comfortable riding position, useable power, sporty handling and cheap parts, this would make a great first bike or back up cruiser for someone.
