To restore one of these bikes, you really need to start with something that is pretty complete and in good shape. That is, unless you have a...
They are the stock rims that were powdercoated white. When they're black, you don't notice them. When they're white, you can't miss them.
Well, I am in the middle of completely restoring my '86 VF1000R. However, I have no motor or transmission work that needs to be done. My bike...
I expect some people to dispute this, but I don't believe that the 500 is capable of 130 MPH. I've owned 4 of them over the last 20 years and...
The bike looks great. I love seeing these older bikes that are still in top notch shape. Welcome to the forum.
I too have the Bridgestone Battlax BT45 tires on my 500. I've been running them for years and am very happy with them.
I'm glad to see that you're back into it. I'm assuming that you're still married. I guess you can have it all.
Did the red ones sell faster or was it that there were just fewer made? It seems to me that there are way more '07 RWB bikes out there than the...
If it wasn't for the VFR / Interceptor line-up, then I don't think I'd own a street bike. There is no other model that interests me.
Yes, I know what you mean. When one of my '86 bikes pop up, I'm initially thinking that it must be somebody else's and they have an older bike...
Donald - did you get your gearing issue straightened out? At last check, you said you were ordering a smaller rear sprocket. I think it was a...
I saw a VFR1200 at the 81 and 31 (Cicero) interchange today around 4:00 PM. Does it belong to anybody on this forum? Also, the bike definitely...
At this point, are the OEM stalks even available through Honda? I've never checked but have replaced mine with aftermarket ones and am happy with...
I think that ABS boils down to your personal preference. If you think you'd feel safer having it, then buy it. If not, then I wouldn't worry...
I have my '86 collection because it represents a point in time where Honda was the dominant force is super bike racing and the Interceptor was the...
Do you know how wide it is or are you asking? If you know the width, I can measure the clearance for you.
It doesn't matter how many miles you have on your bike, it is unfortunate what happened to you. Definitely a plus that it sounds like you're...
Sorry to hear that you're out $400. There is no sense or reason for that kind of behavior. I'm guessing that you'll be finding a new place to...
So do you have a bike or are you in the process of looking for one?
The 5th Gen is a great bike and better yet, you got one with low miles. I had a '99 and loved it. Congratulations and welcome.
