    "You will not find a nicer example of this model anywhere and if you do, buy it."

    Oh fuck...

    What's there to do? This is the nicest example anywhere that you can find. It must be perfect.

    Those must be some before and after shots. Good thing he cleared that up in the listing.

    "in unmolested mint condition."

    That windshield counts as molestation. Installed in the back of a van I think. Stranger danger.

    It is a nice bike. I am still confused what "unmolested" means to this person. The bike is FAR from stock or the nicest example you will find. I already have a bunch of things.

    Over priced. Overstated. He needs to get over himself.

    Again... A nice 85 VF500F

    "in unmolested mint condition."
    "You will not find a nicer example of this model anywhere"

    Puh-leeeeze

    World's ugliest aftermarket mirrors
    World's stupidist screen for a VF500F
    Chinese brake rotors
    Wrong hardware thruout
    License plate bracket installed upside down (likely to accommodate the VJMC placard)

    Had engine guards on it at some point. Wrong engine mount bolt and frame paint damage.

    Hmmm.... hole for seat (with aftermarket cover) latch is somewhere around here. Nope, that's bodywork.

    Over $5K for a 42,000 mile non-stock, molested 500 Interceptor.
