1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor review from United States of America
"Great all purpose motorcycle"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Minor electrical - turn signal wiring harness short, return spring and mount for the starter button broke, seat cover was worn on purchase.
Right side fork seal seeping.
General comments?
This bike is faster than most people think. For a 910 lb bike that's 23 years old, it can still keep up with some of the newer bikes on the market.
Parts are a bit expensive, but you don't have to change them too often.
Its only true downfall is the lack of available torque below 6500 rpm.
Very comfortable ride if the suspension is set soft, and will handle well if the suspension is set hard.
