Picked up some ratty condition fairings today that I won on an eBay auction. Pretty good deal compared to what they are going for on the market.

Seller was in driving distance, thankfully. These are a PITA to ship. A bonus was I got to drive the Volvo!

Was hoping when I got there he'd have some more parts laying around I could also buy but only got an NOS master cylinder still in it's box.

I'm learning how to repair ABS fairings so feel these are decent enough candidates for restoration.

Thanks just the same, Rick but I will stick with 1st and 2nd Gen Interceptors.

That one is a 3rd Gen. ('90-'95).

Although I do have to confess....I do own one 3rd Gen - a '90 - the first year. And love it. But Honda made some changes even after '90 I'm not digging, so basically I'm good on anything from '88 on.

Headed over to my storage unit right now in fact to tinker with some of my machines.....

What's happening with the ones you posted here a couple weeks back? Got any updates?

I'm wondering if it's an earlier 175. I don't think it's a 125 because they were sort of chunky looking.

I got CB fever….just picked up this ‘71 K1 with 10k miles. Don’t have much history on it but looks pretty original. Will go through systems and make it reliable.

Wow, beautiful. Probably doesn't need much. Just my personal thoughts but I think they are one of the best bikes ever made.

Congrats on the new scooter, Mr Brown! Hondas are easy to work on so you should be fine. Amazingly well engineered, as well.

Please keep us updated as you bring her "up to speed"!

Bidding war!

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-honda-vfr750f-interceptor/

EDIT: Sold for USD $13,250 on 6/24/25

And the winning buyer's comments:

Objectively I believe I’ve just paid too much for this. Subjectively, I consider how nice it is, how long I’ve been looking, how long it might be before another one crosses my path, and considering all that I’m philosophical about it.

I graduated high school in 1984. In 1986 I bought a 600 Ninja, which I still have. Since then I’ve slowly been collecting the superbikes that intrigued me back then, and this one will join a tidy collection, all of which are ridden regularly on the back roads of Northern California. Thanks to everyone who contributed comments, and a special thanks to the seller. I look forward to riding this to a BaT alumni event soon!
