What: 1991 VFR750F
Where: Binghamton, New York
Why: 10K miles, well-kept
Price: $4500
​The third-gen Interceptor debuted in 1990 and showcased some of Honda's new tech borrowed from the homologated RC30, most notably the Pro-Arm single-sided swingarm, designed in collaboration with ELF and pretty sexy for the time.

But by 1990 repli-race sport bikes were firmly pointed in the direction of the inline-four engine, and the VFR was gently nudged into the new niche of sport touring, even losing the "Interceptor" name. In the process, the third-generation gained some refinement, comfort and weight. But savvy, real-world riders were willing to pay the premium for what Cycle World magazine would consistently crown as a ten-best. The third-gen bikes (90-93) don't get the respect of the updated fourth-gen, but nice examples still represent the class and uniqueness that VFRs are known for.

This example is presented as an unmolested, undamaged VFR with only 10,478 miles. The seller states that the tank is "outstanding" and the plastics "perfect." The photos back that up, and the Italian Red looks great with the correct gold wheels and very 90's grey seat (seat cowl is included). The asking price of $4500 is double the value of an average 1990-92 example (the white '93 holds more dollar value). Our seller sees the value, but will the buyer?

Offered by J & J Motors in Massillon, Ohio we have four, count 'em, four 2014 VFR800's.

These are zero-mile new bikes, all red, three are standard models and one Deluxe. The standards are listed at $4490 (+ $380 destination) and the Deluxe at $4990 (+ $380). Considering the original MSRP prices were $12,499 and $13,499, these represent some super discounts. The bikes are also listed on eBay with slightly different pricing.

If you've been on the fence with a gen-8 purchase, here's your chance!

What: 2014 VFR800
Where: Menomonie, Wisconsin
Why: The latest VFR for great money
Price: $4995

Mired in the grip of the Wisconsin tundra, AIR Tec Sports is offering this used VFR800 (standard model) for only $4995. Their own website prices it at $5995, so this Craigslist ad must be a winter special.

No matter, 'cause this is a proper bargain. Showing just under 24,000 miles this one comes with factory saddlebags, fresh tires, fresh service and a Two Brothers slip-on muffler. Get it while it's hot...or, in this case, cold.

Coordinating furniture, sure. Matching dinnerware, of course. But color-coordinated bikes? ADVrider Tbusa thought it would be a great idea, apparently. Pictured are his 2014 Interceptor and ex-cop ST1300. The ST has to be the cleanest police bike conversion I've ever laid eyes on — looks like it's on a dealer's showroom. Then again, taking a look around this guy's garage, I can see that he's a perfectionist. Nice set of V4s.

On a recent project I needed to salvage a set of 1986-87 infill panels, which fit between the fuel tank and side fairings. These parts have become very hard to find so I wanted to attempt to save this set.

While the right-side panel was simply cracked, the left-side had its lower half damaged beyond repair. Luckily, I had another left-side panel with a mismatched upper half from an F2 model. The obvious solution was to mate the good pieces into one usable left panel.

After carefully cutting both parts across the middle on an identical line, I plastic welded the halves together.
​
​Here the two left-side panels are pictured after making my cuts. The black pieces were originally together, as were the bluish-colored ones. The parts on the right will be tossed and the left made into a useable piece.

​Here's a look at the welded back sides.

After much grinding, filling and sanding, the parts were cleaned up and finish painted. I use a trim paint from SEM called Trim Black after prepping with their XXX Adhesion Promoter (both available from Amazon). The parts are shown ready for paint.

​I didn't get a separate photo of the finished parts, but here they're fitted to the bike.

Job done!

One of my favorite sub-sites on ADVrider.com (registration required) is the VFR thread. As long as it involves VFR's anything goes, and VFR owners from all over the globe contribute. And sometimes we're treated to some glimpses of enviable riding spots, like these courtesy of BarKnee from Portland, Oregon.
Mt. Adams and the Columbia River areas.....

Wayne Rainey was one of Honda's many fabled racers, and along with Bubba Shobert and Fred Merkel netted Honda the AMA Superbike titles from 1984 through 1988. Wayne also rode for Yamaha and Kawasaki and was, in fact, the 500cc World Champion three times (!). But it was the intense track rivalry between Rainey and Kevin Schwantz that made those Superbike races the stuff of legend, and the VFR was the weapon of choice.

Here's an item I don't see come available often. This is a Staintune muffler to fit the 1990-93 VFR750. Staintune is a well-known family-owned brand from Australia that's been in the moto exhaust business for 30 years. Their pipes are manufactured from stainless steel and sure are good-lookin'.

This pipe has been previously used but looks like new. It will bolt right up to the stock system. I don't have any personal experience with the noise level of these pipes, but I'm sure it'll wake up the inner growl of your V4. Hurry, auction ends Wednesday.
