Project 42 is a very special Interceptor here in the States. Imported from England in 1987, this bike was one of three Honda UK press corps bikes provided for the introduction of Honda's new 1986 VFR model. This blue model was partnered with a white and a red version.
A younger Rex on his "new" VFR When the magazines finished their time with the bikes, this one was purchased by Rex, who was working with Motor Magazine, and emigrated to Michigan the following year, staying with Rex and wife Carol for the next 37 years, till I purchased it from Rex last summer. Rex took great care of the VFR over the years and it looked nearly as good as the day he rolled it off the shipping container, but I went through every system to ready it for its next 38 years. This past weekend I did some final assembly to the point of its initial test ride, which went without issue. I'll have a more thorough post when it's finished.
