Post Listing Update: This Interceptor did not meet reserve despite 32 bids up to $4,250.
In 2008, the seller of this bike took a ’84 Interceptor and restomodded it to what you see here. It was featured in the June 2014 issue of Practical Sportsbikes Magazine, who said “The overall effect is understated, subtle and very much as if Honda themselves had developed the VF”.
I have an irrational love of restomods and the inherent combination of older styling with modern performance – as long as the build bike wasn’t a pristine original example. This fits the bill thanks to a lot of work on the seller’s part. Highlights of this example (VIN: JH2SC1507EM002513) include the front end from a RC51, LSL Superbike bars, VF1000R swingarm, Works Performance custom rear shock, CBR900RR rear wheel, CRF450 rear master cylinder integrated with a Nissin rear caliper, Hindle 4-1 header, and a Akrapovic carbon fiber muffler. The bike has 27,000 miles and the bodywork is original so it’s not perfect. The biggest cosmetic issues are a paint chip in the gas tank, a small crack in the tail, and a dent in the left side of the radiator.
