If you're an experienced motorcyclist, you'll inevitably get asked the cocktail party question, "What bike should I (my son/co-worker/nephew/girlfriend/veterinarian) get? I need something fun, good-looking, dependable, cheap to own and something that can grow with my abilities." You see where I'm going with this. The VFR series checks all those boxes and more. Outside of a full-out cruiser, dedicated tourer or dirt bike, the VFR is well-known as the best all-around fun bike ever produced. And if the questioner is on a budget, all the better, as our Interceptors and their variants run the gamut of vintages and values.
eBay item number 281757691696 And, here's a perfect example of where I steer the potential buyer. Offered on ebay, this 1996 VFR750 appears as a well-kept and tastefully modified Interceptor. Often considered the best generation of VFRs, this beauty boasts aftermarket windscreen, muffler, levers, shiny nut/bolt kit, rear fender eliminator and later generation mirrors. The mechanicals are up-to-date, valves checked, carbs cleaned, fresh tires mounted and the Honda dealer's receipts to prove it.
Offered in arrest-me-red with light wear & tear and 21,000 miles, this one is ready for its happy new owner. It's also a perfect candidate for a fly-n-ride — located in Ankeny Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines. Come to think of it, that's not too far from me..........
Update: Sold; well-bought at $3302.
