High on the list of bikes I'd like to acquire is this beauty - the 1986 VF500F Interceptor. When other kids were hanging up posters of Kathy Ireland or Motley Crue in their bedrooms I was posting up Honda sales brochures. Not that I didn't care for Ms. Ireland or the Crue, I just found the 500 Interceptor a bit more compelling. Red seat, red front end, jaunty chin spoiler - a truly refined and sexy motorcycle. I'd like to pick up a slightly knackered specimen and build a 500cc tribute to the Royal City Cycle VF750F. Anybody have a 500 they'd like to donate to the cause? I'll trade you a '89 Fizzer600.

ReplyDeleteIt's got to be an '86...
ReplyDeleteYou guys should really start making and selling racing suits. If you were to take the style you put in your jackets into a race suit those things would sell like crazy. I know I would buy one.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh.... 1st bike I ever owned :)
