Newbie needs help on pricing 87 Honda Interceptor 700F

Hello!

I am in the midst of deciding to put up my Intereceptor for sale. Its just over 18K miles on it and for the most part in great shape. I've had it winterized 2 years ago and its been sitting in my garage under a linen cover since then. It runs great but probally needs an oil change and the carbs cleaned.

I need to know current value of these bikes. I know that they have "vintage" appeal but unsure of what markets.

Bike is located in Plainfield, IL

 

$2000-$2500US in good condition IF running.

 

How can you say it runs great and also say the carbs need cleaning ??

If the carbs need cleaning, it doesn't run great; and if runs great, the carbs don't need cleaning.

Value of the bike is not the same as a likely selling price, unfortunately.


I was lucky enough to locate the right buyer and sell a white '87 like that to an old air force reserve pilot for $3500 in about 1994 .

 

@squirrel...about the carbs...that makes sense...that's why Im a newbie!!

I just assumed it would need a cleaning after sitting for about 2 years.

Im charging the battery now to see how it runs..I should take a vid of it while running.

 

Drain the fuel tank, and refill with fresh fuel. Don't run old fuel through the system.

 

Nice looking bike!

Now is the time where i kick my own ass for spending a lot of money last month

 

Well..battery wont hold a charge so I will be getting a new one. I'll drain the gas (put Stabilin it) but won't risk it.

Still kicking around the ideal of putting it for sale here or on Craigslist so I can get new sonar for my boat.

 

Hey if you decide to go ahead and sell it I am very interested! Please let me know - patrick.cohen@smail.astate.edu or PM me on here
