All services are very recent carbs have been cleaned fluids have been changed and it runs and rides beautifully. Has been fully maintained by professional mechanics and garage kept.
The body is in very very good condition slight crack on the nose fairing and very small blemishes expected of a bike of 40 years.
If you know these bikes. You know it’s a rare fine to find a 1000 cc in this good of condition. I would love to see it go to someone who truly appreciates these awesome bikes.
Absolutely no test rides without $4,900 cash in my hand or I’m happy to give a two up ride NO
exceptions.
The last time RSBFS posted an Interceptor, we got some great stories.
Bill W shared, “I remember when the Interceptors first came out. They were the bike everyone wanted. I had a used 1981 KZ550 at the time (my first bike at 18) – and was lusting after the first generation of Gpz550s – when the Interceptors blew the doors off the market. They were literally the first modern sport bikes and are the forebears of every sport bike – especially the middleweights — since. I have the good fortune of being in the process of restoring a 1983 VF750F Interceptor…”
2manyprjx shared, “Here’s kind of an Interceptor story. Back in 1985, I was service mgr. at the local Honda dealer. Me and two buddies decide to ride to the AMA road races at Mid-Ohio. That was about a 450 mile round trip. I had an 84 500 Interceptor. One buddy had one of the first GPZ900’s and the other buddy had just traded in his 750 Interceptor on a new VF1000R. They had radar detectors so we spent much of that trip well above the speed limit. Lot’s of nice curvy roads in Ohio. We came to a straight stretch of road where you could see for about two miles and they just took off. They left me behind as my 500 wound out would do 128mph. When we got to the first stop, I found out that the GPZ topped out at 148mph but the 1000R had cleared 150. Those were big numbers back in the mid 80’s. That trip is still one of our best memories of that time period.”
The interceptor does have a following, so we wanted to get this out ASAP.
The seller shows images of all the blemishes. If you have been looking for this bike – perhaps this is the one.
As always, if you have any stories related to this bike, please share.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
