Member Contributer Terry Posted November 16, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted November 16, 2023 The first 750 Interceptor was big news when it was released; from a Honda fanboy persective, in one machine we were introduced to water cooling, single-shock rear end, 16" front wheel and performance like never before. I started riding in 82 and the rate of change in the 80's was breathtaking from all of the big four. I did own a VF750F for about a year and loved the performance but the tales of mechanical woe were off-putting. After I paid lots of my poor-student money to replace the camchains and tensioners, I got rid of the 750 in favour of a nice new VF400F. I could see myself owning another VF750F for nostalgia reasons one day, but it has to be the blue/white with red stripe, the gold comstars and original mufflers.

Member Contributer bmart Posted November 16, 2023 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 16, 2023 I started with two riding buddies. All of us unskilled, untrained, and riding like idiots. One got a 600cc Fazer (mini V-max...in looks), one got a 500 Interceptor (not sure what year), and I got a GS700ES. I still love the looks of that bike (similar to my many FJs). I hated red then, too, so choices were somewhat limited. It was indeed a time of great mechanical progress. https://ridermagazine.com/2016/06/22/1986-yamaha-fzx700s-fazer-road-test-review/ https://www.rideapart.com/news/407636/honda-vf500f-interceptor-please-thankyou/ https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/suzu/suzuki_gs700es 85.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
