Post-Listing Update: This Interceptor did not meet reserve with bidding up to $3,000.
The smallest of the Interceptors, the VF500 is claimed by some to be the best, thanks to absolutely incredible handling. The 500cc engine was a mutt of Honda parts – the bottom end from the non-US VF400F combined with two top ends from the VT250. This got you 70 horsepower, enough for 128 miles per hour through the 6 speed transmission. Redline was at an impressive 12K, and the entire package weighed about 440 pounds when ready to roll.
A bike that looks this good, handles this well, has such a wonderful engine and costs no more than its competitors is more than just a “nice bike.” It’s damn near irresistible. – Cycle World, 1984
This example (VIN: pc1215em000018) is the 18th VF500F ever built, and the seller says that according to Honda’s micro fiche, this was the first example of the model to be imported to the United States. The original owner was apparently a motorcycle journalist, and it’s claimed to be in ‘bone stock museum quality condition.’ If you’re interested in this bike, you must hurry because it ends soon.
