TC713, whatever rocks your boat. You can check out more about the VFR on
www.vfrdiscussion.com, IIRC it was only sold a year or two in the US so I do not
know how easy it is to get parts. The 750f is a true classic, I love that bike, but
$ 2500, it is a little high in my opinion. If the 750f is true mint maybe so, it
is hard to tell in the pictures.

They make full fairings for the interceptor as well, so if that floats your boat...

If it were me, I'd be going for the interceptor hands down.  I've already got the nighthawk 650, which to me is very similar to the 750F.

as much as i want a 650sc having the 750f  and a 750k with the 900f motor keeps me from getting the 650sc

To be honest, I won't be able to get either I don't think. My ol lady would flip her top. I can't help but look on CL though everyday.

Just kind of wanted to see what everyone thought of those. Those two bikes are definitely what I would add to the collection though. The ook of that Interceptor is pretty cool and the 750 just has that classic look. Thats what I was first after when I was bike shopping, but couldn't find one in decent shape.
Someday......

TC713, if you like the VFRs, look out for model year 1990 through 1997 the
engine size is 750cc. I used to own a 1995 VFR750, great bike on the open road
not so much in the city a little heavy. The 750 can be found from a low of 1500
up to 3500. If you find one you like, my advice is buy one with no broken plastics
on it, the plastics are expensive for this bike.

 puzzled  scratcher  I was unable to see the craigslist addresses so "don't know what ya talkin'bout..." hahaha!!  but on the subject of the 750vfr: I guess the engine must be somewhat like the magna's, being V4 and all; probably some mods to cams and stuff so it could rev higher... same principle like in the ninja 500 and vulcan 500, i guess. If ur heavy, like me, u'll probably enjoy the torque w/o having to be shifting much. If you find one at a reasonable price (being less than $1,800 tops), i guess it'd be worth it... and + honda bikes don't die  wings I heard the newer models VFR800 vtec were having problems with the vtec, but don't know. haven't heard much about the the 750, being that at that time the top seller was CBR900RR and since the 750 was heavier... like the suzukis RF's and Katanas ( scratcher cant remember if they're the same)... It in the SHADOW  ImaPoser, sort of like the MAGNA with the SHADOW.
