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?
