Click on image for the eBay listing What: 2002 VFR800 Interceptor
Why: Low miles, great cosmetics
Where: Miami, Florida
Price: $4400 or offer
The first thing that caught my eye with this VFR800 VTEC was the perfect-looking Italian Red bodywork. After reading the description and zooming in on the photos, I can't seem to find any telltale signs of ground contact or other common rash. Assuming original paintwork, that's impressive in a 22-year old motorcycle. Then again, this beauty shows just 4488 miles, our seller having added only 131 miles in his 16 months of ownership.
The bike appears quite complete and original, with a few little mods; the rear fender has been chopped, there's aftermarket hand levers and master cylinder covers, gas tank filler cap, bar risers, Throttlemeister throttle lock/bar ends and the rear footpeg brackets removed (included in sale). This one is not equipped with optional ABS, and there's no mention of maintenance items due for attention. I think this would be a great candidate to return to stock configuration and keep as a beautiful example of the first-year RC46 VTEC Interceptor, and it might be difficult to argue with the asking price.
For lots of tech and riding impressions from back in the day, here's Cycle World's road test from 2002:
