This bike doesn´t show it´s age like most and is more reliable than many. It pulls to redline all day and still respects you in the morning. | ||||||
| Have to admit, you take an interceptor out of that readily recognizable paint scheme into a glossy modern color and it looks great. To see a factory colored bike in good nick is still cool. Riding the vf750 is fun. It handles great and the V4 allows good low end acceleration. Although many consider this bike quite fast, my first question is ´Compared to what?´ I´ve had many bikes and some have left me hungry and others have shown me glimpses of my own mortality. This Honda is above average in all categories and little is needed to raise it from there. Insane power and acceleration are overrated. Very few can ride today´s bikes to their potential anyway, most lack skill, asphalt and not to mention our old friend intestinal fortitude. With an older bike like this vf750, you can enjoy riding for what it is. An elevation in heart rate due to increased interaction with ones environment, peppered with moments of exhileration due to bouts of irresponsibility and lack of good judgement. My prognosis...the VF750 is a good buy because it´s age makes it inexpensive to ride and insure. This V4 is the predecessor to all that followed and really is a good motor. I´ve heard these older V4´s had bad cam problems. I´ve also heard buying older, high mileage bikes is risky, unless it´s a Honda. Personally, I beleive the latter. |
