Click on image for the BaT link UPDATE: SOLD $7200 w/27bids
What: 1983 VF750F Interceptor
Where: Raleigh, N. Carolina
Why: Low-mile survivor
Price: Auction closes Nov. 28
Live on Bring-A-Trailer is this great-looking first-year 750 Interceptor showing only 4072 miles. Not many details from the selling dealer but the bike appears to be unmolested save for the period F1 mufflers, the right side showing a bit of rash. I don't see telltale signs of restoration work, so I'm assuming this is being represented as an original condition example. The comments so far are centered around the infamous cam issue, but the seller hasn't yet responded, so that's an open question for bidders. Two days in we're at only $2500 but the bidding would probably gain some traction if some sort of assurance could be had regarding a cam oiling modification or maybe a cam inspection, neither of which appear likely.
In any event, this looks like an exceptional example of an important model in the Interceptor's lineage. Not all bikes were affected by "soft cams" and most were discovered/fixed early on, so the whole thing may be a non-issue. This would make a nice addition to a "riding collection" or an awesome entry into classic bike ownership. This auction could go anywhere, so I'll be watching with interest.
