1983 Honda VF750F Intereceptor - Low Mileage Original, Pristine Survivor

Description

This beautiful example of an original. unrestored. unmolested VF750F runs as good as it looks.   Except for a few minor blemishes in the finish. the paint shines like new.   There are no cracks in any of the bodywork. the engine paint still looks new. the wheels are in excellent condition. and the original seat has no cracks. rips. or tears.   The new tires have less than 300 miles on them.   When looked at closely in person. it's amazing to see how new the bike looks.   In some of the attached pictures. you'll notice that components mounted behind the side covers and under the seat look like they were just installed!

Since the bike sat idle for several years. it was thoroughly checked out and then the following work was performed:

Carbs professionally cleaned. overhauled. and sync'd by a well-known industry expert. New carb insulators installed. Fork seals. dust seals. fork bushes replaced and new fork oil added. Front and rear wheel bearings replaced Valves adjusted and new valve cover gasket installed. New O-ring chain installed and adjusted. Front and rear calipers and master cylinders rebuilt and bled. New EBC brake pads installed. Clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder rebuilt and bled. New EBC clutch disks installed. New Bridgestone Battlax tires mounted and balanced. New oil and oil filter. New air filter. New EBC plugs gapped and installed. New Big Crank ETX15 AGM battery installed. New coolant tube o-rings installed. coolant flushed and replaced. New fuel petcock installed. Bodywork cleaned. waxed and detailed.

The engine starts up quickly and comes off the choke within a short time.   (Note the idle speed in one of the pictures. )  After a proper warm-up. it runs and shifts smoothly. revs without hesitation. and spools up quickly with an easy twist of the throttle.   The powerful V4 engine easily outruns the inline four in my 1982 CB900F.   The bike is a joy to ride and handles beautifully in the twisties.   The brakes work like new and provide excellent stopping power.

A couple days after I finished resurrecting and detailing this amazing machine. I took it to the largest Japanese motorcycle show in New England and took second place in the 750-1000cc class.   (The first place bike was a recently uncrated '86 Suzuki that was virtually brand new. )

I already have another pristine Interceptor along with a collection of various Hondas from the 70's and 80's.   Rather than have it sit more than necessary. I decided to sell this motorcycle to someone who will enjoy and ride it while maintaining it's amazing originality.   Note that I will continue to ride it until sold. so the mileage noted here in the ad will likely increase by another 100-200 miles.   The bike comes with the original tool kit and key. but the owner's manual was missing when I purchased the bike.

*A proper warm-up is at least 5 minutes.   The '83 Interceptors can shift somewhat hard until warm oil gets through to the entire clutch system.   This bike is no exception but shifts beautifully once warmed up.
