This past December 16th the shippers arrived at the expansive V4 Dreams campus to load Project 11 onto a cargo truck, the beginning of its long journey to Haugesund, Norway. The bike's new owner, Nils, took a huge leap of faith with me to purchase the 1986 VFR700F and ship it across the Atlantic.
Nils, an admittedly impatient sort, busied himself during the two-month shipping wait acquiring OEM mufflers and centerstand, refinishing them in preparation to pass the strict licensing rules of Norway which require a stock configuration. One of the mufflers came from me and one was sourced in Germany. Eventually the day came, the crate unloaded and the Interceptor unveiled to Nils and 4-year old Jacob for the first time.
Nils immediately set to work wrestling the mufflers into place and mounting the centerstand. He now has possibly the only U.S.-spec "tariff-buster" 700cc Interceptor in Europe. It's in original condition, shows 23,475 miles and is a beautiful example. And Jacob is a huge fan. Wouldn't it be great if one day it became his.
