Click on image for the eBay listing. What: 1985 VF1000R Interceptor
Where: Elkhart Lake, WI
Why: A striking example of an iconic model
Price: Bidding at $4050
UPDATE: Sold for $11,000, then relisted for $12,500 BIN or make offer.
The VF1000R needs little introduction. Built and styled for European endurance racing, the "R" was offered in the U.S. market for 1985-86 and is a Honda collector's staple.
This example shows 27,569 miles and is offered from Throttlestop's collection. The photos show an original condition bike with a near-perfect paint presentation — I suspect it must have had a quality repaint at some point. They state that the mufflers are original, but they look like period slip-ons to me, possibly Cobra brand. The eBay listing has lots of hi-res photos and the bike claims to have been recently serviced. There's also a short running video included in the listing. It looks like a nice one. The listing ends Monday, Feb. 7.
Throttlestop is a collector vehicle seller, repair/restoration and museum facility, located adjacent to the beautiful and storied Road America race course in the rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine State Forest in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
