The Honda Interceptor VF750F was the direct result of changes to the AMA Superbike rules. Because race bikes had to be production based, the VF750F was the first replica racebike to come out of Japan. Why is this important to you, the motorcycle aficionado? Because Honda kept the bikes surprisingly similar while still maintaining street legality. And why is it important to you, the cheap motorcycle aficionado? Because this one is in decent shape and can be yours for less than 2 grand.
First, if you want more details about this bike, check out this writeup from Motorcycle Classics, where they make the case that this might be the first sport bike. But if you already know what you need to about the Interceptor, then here’s what you need to know about this bike (VIN: JH2RC1506EM00091): everything is original except for the tires, grips, and brake pads, and an oil cooler has been added to the rear shock. It has 14,855 miles and runs great – the seller even says the paint is in “incredible” condition with just a couple of little chips. However, the bike got some ethanol-laced gas and the tank started to get rust spots. The seller (second owner) has coated it because he wanted to keep it original. Your choice to either replace the tank or to keep coating it every couple of years.
