1st Gen Roll Call

The few. The proud. The ones who cannibalize more bikes than everyone else. Report in!

I just realized that my bike is 2nd gen, and there's a thread for that already. Silly me. Let's see what you've got, anyways!

 

Quick note, all years of the 500 Interceptor are considered 'First Gen' Honda V4s.

There are significant differences between the '84/'85 compared to the '86, but this is a discussion for another thread.

 

Welcome aboard. Also 86 miniceptor reporting.

 

Broken '84 500 in Columbus, reporting in... :tongue:

Edited for pictures. Sorry Im late...

 

Hey-Hooooooooo,

Joe in Ontario Canada

 

Currently an '86 VF1000R owner, but I also bought a brand new VF750F Interceptor in 1983. Early adopter of the Honda V4 I guess, and it's still in my blood!





Don't have a digital pic of the VF750F handy, but it was the red one with black cast wheels like above. I had a seat cowl, and Lockhart full lowers in matching candy red red with white & blue stripes. HRC stickers on the upper cowl and SuperTrapp slip-ons. Loved that bike, but got an '86 VFR when they came out. Loved that bike too...

BLIGHT

 

This whole thread is worthless without pics! Let's go, edit your posts. I need pics!

 

You want pics? You got pics, well just one pic. Yea I'm a 1st Gen kind of guy. It's been one hellava reliable bike for me. A great one up sport tourer.

 

'84 VF500F in Lexington, Kentucky here. #300 represent!

Today's rainy day picture:

 

I still have a dent in my wallet from my 1st gen.

....does that count?

 

North Seattle
Here's one of my 1st Gens

 

Yum! V4 porn...

 

Jeez giuseppi I bet that avatar gets more look uh...you know where im going with this!

 

The R's are sort of the missing link between the 2 gens. Cam gear drive separates them from the 1st gens but steel frames separates them from the 2nd. So since there's no real Gen 1.5, they get roped into the 1st gens...I kinda like it that way.

Consider me counted.

 

Hop, you like running your chain that tight!?

 

Grey, that's a beautiful cleanest 750 I think ever seen! Keep rockin that sweet bike.

 

Captain80s,
that bike looks remarkably similar to one i saw on craigslist very recently... you selling any of your G1/2's?

Hop,
that's a beautiful bike! how hard was the single swing arm conversion or did it come like that?if it came like that, where do i find such a bike?! :lol:

 

invisible cities is right that all VF500F model years would be considered a 1st Gen. Therefore, I am reporting in:



Also, hopit88 has a good argument for the VF1000R to be considered a 1st Gen, so I'll report in again:

 

i knew that bike looked familari, this is you, right hopit88:

VF1000R Walk around.(RVF1000R) - YouTube
VF1000R first ride after custom rebuild.(RVF1000R) - YouTube

very nice work!
found that while looking around online at VF1000R's!

 

Thanks, that is indeed me and if you viewed them then you got your answer to how much is still stock.

Hard to tell from a picture if a chain is too tight but it's right on the money. Probably an optical illusion.

That is sharp!
