Click on image for the Craigslist ad. What: 2002 VFR800 Vtec
Where: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Why: Unique & Practical
Price: $4200
Custom painted bikes are always a tough call. Manufacturers expend mucho effort to style vehicles with a wide appeal that will hopefully maximize sales. But when an individual exercises his or her own vision the result will often end up appealing to a smaller slice of the market. That's not a bad thing, it's just reality.
Here's a case in point. This 2002 Interceptor has been treated to a professional custom repaint and the builder has obviously put a lot of thought into the design. The muted body colors contrast with the bold and creative wheels, and the layout works well with the bike's angles. Even the saddlebags are integrated nicely. Under the lipstick beats the heart of a VFR800 Vtec with a Delkavic exhaust. Maintenance is said to be up to date, and the bike shows just north of 30,000 miles. The asking price is a little over the average for a 2002 model, so our buyer will need to see the custom treatment as above average...which would be easy to do in this case. Nicely done.
