Click on image for the eBay link What: 1984 VF700F Interceptor
Why: Low-mileage, original
Where: Bainbridge Island, WA
Price: $4500 OBO
By the time a classic vehicle reaches four decades of age, finding one with the magic combination of very low miles and unmolested condition is something of a holy grail. Here we have such a find.
Showing only 5597 miles and represented as a 2d-owner bike and always garaged, this example appears to be complete with all its original bits and less than perfect finish commensurate with its age. There's road rash on the left muffler and general scuffs and light corrosion, but still a fine 10-foot example. The fuel tank was replaced with a NOS original, the front fairing repainted sometime in the past and some maintenance completed ten years ago. A week spent detailing and maybe refurbishing a handful of items would take this survivor to the next level.
Our seller has put on only 200 miles in his decade of ownership. His description indicates that the carburetors are in need of attention, and I would attend to all the fluids, source a replacement muffler and ditch those old Shinko tires, but this would be a great example to take up a notch for the perfect classic, everyday rider. At closer to $4K this would be a great find on a first generation Interceptor.
