WooHoo, got a free Honda off Craigslist!

Post by Ported&Polished »

I got a Honda 87 VFR700 Interceptor from a local dude. Needs a few things, but it's cool as hell. I'll toss up some pics in a bit, gotta love that Craigslist stuff, always find good deals. I'm gonna make this bike work good and take some trips on it, I'm happy to have found it. :ride:

Ill bet the electrics are fugged up on it, when you find what the problem is/was post up.

My neighbor has one and it would fry the haness and connectors in 5 mins, I swapped the regulator and the rectifyer and it just fried the lot over again :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Nice Find! I sold my 86 VFR 750 a couple years ago, I sure do miss it, now I have an 86 V65 Sabre in the garage.

You will be very happy with that bike once you get it fixed.
I ride my 83 V45 Sabre every day to and from work.

Wow, yours was way clean. This one needs the lower fairing and side fairings, but I might just ride it naked. It's a rare white one with gold pinstripes. It's complete but needs probly 300 bucks worth of parts to be ridable. I can't hardly beleive it was free, but dude had just purchased a new Suzuki and just wanted it gone. I was the lucky first guy to email him, because he said he had 40 emails after me. :D

Here is a couple of pics. The seat is a Nice Corbin goody that isn't in the pics. And it's missing the fairings as you can see.

About the bike I got for free, I found the parts it needs online. Some of it gets here this week, so I should be able to start it by the weekend. If nothing else is missing or broken the bike will have around 300 bucks into it. :cool:
