WANT

This luscious beast is a pristine 1983 Honda VFR 750 V-45 Interceptor, the superbike of its time. It was with indecent lust that I gazed upon this machine as a teenager. Girls were all fine and dandy, but THIS was sexy...



Acquiring one of these in "fix-er-upper" condition is very high on my priority list for vintage bike rebuilds. Unfortunately they're getting harder to find, as most didn't survive their young riders in fixable condition. You Apathetics do an old wheeliehead a favor and keep an eye out, wouldya?

Piclick for more photos of gorgeous vintage bikes, including a very tasty Duck 900, straight from the 1982 Gran Prix series.

Mine was the red and white version. Fond memories.

Man that green Duck 900, gorgeous. Speaking of the Honda V4, Bruce Anstey will race Honda's $180k RC213V-S (un-nurfed) in the Isle of Man Senior TT on June 10th. That should result in some awesome YouTube videos. It will also be fun to see how it stacks up to the modified CBR 1000rr at ~1/10 the price.
