1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor review from United States of America
"Great fast bike for short trips"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Seat had been replaced at some point before I purchased this bike.
Needs a tune up, at 24,000 miles.. not sure if it was ever done before or not.
General comments?
This is a VERY VERY fast motorcycle. I have had it up to max speed on the speedo (150mph) plus. Not so comfortable for long distance riding, but very fun to ride. Sounds very good.
The handling leaves something to be desired compared to my 250 Yamaha I had previously, however it's probably due to the weight difference between a 250 Yamaha and a 750 Interceptor.
