Click on image for the eBay link. What: 1985 VF1000R Interceptor
Where: Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia, Canada
Why: Beautiful driver
Price: Auction; opening bid of $6500
Available in the U.S. for only two years, the "R" model VF1000 replaced the one-year "F" as a complete redesign, offering greater complexity at the cost of a lot of sore backs and wrists. These two models are the only attempts at a big-bore V4 on Honda's part, so if you're after that kind of grunt, this is your bike.
This particular example is a Canadian version showing just under 47,000 kilometers and boasting lots of NOS parts, including fuel tank, forks and more. There's been some repainting and a Hagon shock installed. Our seller uses the terms "restored" and "original" in the same breath, but I would view this as a thoroughly refurbished rider. From that perspective the opening price of $6500 (no reserve) is at the high end for this model, but the seller's assertion that you couldn't replicate this for that kind of money rings true.
