Honda Interceptor description

I have a 1985 Honda VF1000R project that I have lost interest in. I have title, but still in previous owners name. I have $1,200 into it, but would accept a 'Best Offer'. Try me, you may be surprised.

If you are familiar with these bikes, you know how unique and advanced it was for 1985, but so heavy, it could not compete against the other race bikes of the time.

It might be worth more being parted out, but I dont want to mess with the effort that it would involve. Comes with a service manual.

Not in running condition, but close. I have not performed a compression or leak down test. Carbs have been rebuilt and installed.

Miles on ODO may not be representative of the bike, since it came in a box of parts when I bought it. Previous owner has several of these bikes, so ODO could have come from any other them.

Missing front plastics/fairing pieces and other misc bits.

Tank is solid with very light surface rust on inside, on spot welds.

Seat is in great condition and not faded. No holes.

I do not have the bump-cushion for the rear cowl.

If you want a specific picture or have a question, please feel free to ask.

Thank you

Bradl prepares for Laguna's Corkscrew

Wed, 25 Jul 2012

A rookie to Laguna Seca, Stefan Bradl shows one way to prepare for the Corkscrew; by riding his LCR Honda RC213V down the famous Lombard Street in San Francisco. The reigning Moto2 champion may have never raced at the Californian track but earlier this year he used a break between races to learn the circuit on a Honda CBR1000RR, having only had a virtual experience of Laguna before this year. At the time the young German said: "It is downhill, and there are lots of blind corners.

Press launches - the ugly truth. Part 3

Sun, 03 Apr 2011

So with an afternoon of sightseeing completed (a rare luxury on most launches) it's back to the hotel for the press conference. These are you usually long winded, tooth pulling affairs with Japanese technicians insisting on speaking their bestest engrish which only serves to elongate the proceedings. Nothing kills a presentation more than reading every word of a powerpoint slide verbatum, even thought the viewers can read exactly the same words (and probably a lot faster). The Crossrunner presentation was mercifully brief and snappy followed by dinner in the hotel and a reasonably early night as everyone had already been up for twenty hours.
