1986 Honda VFR500F Interceptor - first start in 33 years!

I picked this motorcycle up last month. It has been in storage since 1989, it only has 4814 miles on it. What a time capsule!

It doesn’t have any oil leaks, it just had oil all over it where I think someone probably sprayed oil on it to preserve it.

Honda was on top of their game back then. You are making me feel old with that 33 years stuff.

Running incredible!! Had one in 1988 and valves were SO LOUD. Not so in this vid! If you see this message, are you still riding it?? Man the engine sounds perfect in this vid. Thank you!

[@76629online]

Actually, I sold it not too long after this video. Someone drove from several states away to get it.

Woot!❤️🌮

[@jrodrims27]

So what happened to it? Did you ever ride it or did you just sell it? Or too busy with other stuff to worry about it?

[@76629online]

I did get to ride it some, but I sold it and made a good bit of money on it. It was a win-win situation for me.

I have an '84. However it is a VF500F. There is no R.

Where did you purchase any of your parts and any tips for someone trying to restore a non running one

[@76629online]

I did not buy many parts for this bike while I had it. Parts I did buy I got on eBay.
