This motorcycle is a 1985 Honda VF700F Interceptor.
The paint scheme is black and white instead of the factory Blue and White.
When I got it, it had been dropped a number of times and worked on by a monkey with wrenches.
It is now almost in good enough condition to be seen in public.


The motor is a low mileage replacement. The cams are shiny and smooth with no sign of pitting.



Improvements made include;


  • Cleaned and lined the fuel tank.
  • Replaced the exhaust system. The header pipes are wrapped.
  • Replaced the head gasket on the rear bank and also a broken head bolt.
  • Re-torqued both sets of heads and adjusted the valves.
  • Cleaned the carbs.
  • Replaced various screws and bolts, re-tapping when necessary.
  • Got new turn signal lights and rear view mirrors.
  • Repaired the radiators and replaced leaking cooling system gaskets.
  • New tires.
  • New paint, to do; decals, pin stripes, clear coat, etc.



On the wish list; new wind screen, replace sprockets and chain, 750cc engine.
