voiceoffire Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hey all, noticed this one in the local ads, but I have to admit that I have little knowledge of the typical issues of the this era bike. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-touring/calgary/1985-honda-vf750-interceptor-nice-collector-quality/1098375820?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true For $2500 CAD or $2000 USD, the description seems good. Is there anything specific that I should be looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelman Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Not as reliable as a VFR (1986/1987) second gen. Find one of those and eliminate several possible problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted October 19, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2015 I purchased a new, leftover 1985 VF700 tariff bike (thanks, HD) in 1986, and owned it for 16 years until I traded it for a 2002 6th gen. It was the same as the VF750 except for the shorter stroke and therefore a little less hp. Other than chains, sprockets, tires etc., I had to replace a couple of starter relays, and the original fork seals went after only three years. Other than that completely reliable, but beware, it started a lifetime addiction to V4's. It came with a hokey anti-dive system, and air-adjustable forks, so do take a close look at the front end, but $2K for a classic sounds reasonable if it is in good shape.

voiceoffire Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks for the responses. I was a little slow on the uptake and the bike has been sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
