1995 Honda Interceptor

Clear

You're bidding on a 1995 VFR750F Interceptor, fourth generation (4th gen). Featuring an aluminum frame coupled with a single-sided swingarm, and a nearly bulletproof powerplant featuring a four stroke 90-degree V4 with DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder producing 105hp at 10k RPM. It has a 6-speed transmission that shifts smooth as butter and very, very fast; it will handle highway speeds with barely any effort and even 6th gear has plenty of passing power. The aluminum twin-spar perimeter frame keeps the weight down, a mere 461lbs dry weight, but it's unbelievably stable on the highway. A 5.5 gallon tank will keep you riding for many miles on long cruises or commutes. This bike is a sport-touring bike, and has a slightly more vertical sitting position to make it more comfortable to ride longer distances. VFR owners know all about how amazing this bike is, and a few minutes of research on the internet can give you all the testament you'll need. But enough about that - you want to know about this particular bike. I purchased this bike as a daily driver for my commute. The previous owner had a low-speed mishap on the left side and didn't ride very often. Fast forward many years later, and it only needed a little TLC to get it back to daily driving. I came across this gem with a focus more on the mechanical than the cosmetic. I wanted a potential daily driver for my commute that could handle highway speeds in stability and comfort but still be manageable in the city. I wanted it to be ultra-reliable and as low-maintenance as possible. I wanted it to be fun to ride. I found this VFR750 with some cosmetic faults and just a few mechanical problems that could easily be fixed and most importantly: the engine ran perfectly. The next owner of this bike will have the advantage of having everything mechanical already replaced and taken care of - the only thing left is restoring the left fairing (not overly difficult or expensive, I'm told - or you could simply replace the left fairing completely for a couple of hundred bucks) and fix a crack in the top fairing. A coat of paint and it'll look as nice as it runs. The seat cover has some tears in it (possibly from the fall, I don't know - again, it's just cosmetic, see the photos). I'll throw in a new seat cover you can have an upholstery shop staple into place (grey color). I also recently picked up the rear seat cowl; it's red and it's ultra rare for this generation of VFR. So, needless to say, this is an older motorcycle (twenty years old!) and it has clearly seen a few dings. Previous owner definitely laid it down and the left fairings have some damage. Mechanically, nearly everything has been replaced or reconditioned and it runs perfectly. As I said, I wanted reliability and a daily driver. At this point the only damage is cosmetic. Forks have been completely rebuilt, seals replaced, fork oil replaced, and brand-new RaceTech springs installed. All electronics and lights work flawlessly. Headlights, turn signals, brake lights, all work perfectly. The previous owner deleted the rear fender so I added a small LED license plate light (it's the law down here). You can change it or remove it easily.Clutch has been completely rebuilt with a brand new clutch pack and rebuilt master and slave cylinder. Clutch is hydraulic - very consistent, smooth operation and far superior to cable clutches found in lower-tech bikes or 'race' bikes claiming a weight savings with a cable clutch.Rear tire is nearly new, front tire is still fine but could stand to be replaced. One of the mirrors is cracked but both are functional.Chain and sprockets are all brand new: D.I.D. x-ring chain and ultra-light front and rear sprocket set. Master link is riveted for performance and safety.Brand new air filter.New Renthal grips.Oil and filter were changed less than 200 miles ago with motorcycle-specific synthetic oil. Coolant flushed and replaced, hydraulics (brake and clutch) flushed and replaced. Spark plugs are all new Iridium NGK. Fuel tank internals replaced with brand new fuel level float + sender, and new petcock and primary fuel filter.Has an aftermarket non-OEM locking gascap installed. Keys are included.Inline fuel filter replaced.Fuel pump replaced and works.Brand new Shorai Lithium battery. (that's a $200 battery - feel free to look it up.)Includes rear seat cowl - those things are rare!Includes the full set of external fairings.Includes a new vinyl seat cover to replace the damaged seat cover on it now.It has the OEM Honda exhaust and has never had an aftermarket exhaust fitted to it.The bike shows external wear - to be expected from a 20 year old vehicle - but is mechanically sound and runs great. The left fairing has some damage on it, and can be repaired.The upper left side of the top fairing (where the left turn signal sits) has a small crack. The duct tape on the inner side currently seals the crack, and the two pieces of duct tape on the top and outside of the turn signal simple create a seal around the turn signal. The crack is easily repaired.The bottom fairing is intact and in good condition.The seat has some tears on the left side. I'm including a new vinyl seat cover you can use to replace it.It's missing one bar-end. You'll notice a shiny aluminum spot on the frame above the right rearset (footpeg). The previous owner painted the frame of the bike black (probably around the time he painted it white with a black stripe). I was testing to see how difficult it would be to remove the black paint from the frame (the original was a raw aluminum frame.) Again, simple cosmetic work.Please look at the photos carefully! There's a lot to see, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the bike or what was done to restore it to daily status. If you'd like a test ride and you live locally we can make arrangements to do so - you'll need a valid motorcycle endorsement (of course). This motorcycle is being sold as-is, and there are no returns, so please make sure you ask everything that's on your mind before committing to the sale. Buyer must make arrangements for shipping, if shipping is necessary. Local pickup is fine. Contact me with questions.
