That's a pretty cool ride right there. My father-in-law's ride is sorta similar. VF1100 Sabre. It's really fun to ride so Im sure this one is even better in twisties.

Nice bike! A friend of mine had one of these in the 80's. When I told her I was looking for a bike, she tried to talk me into getting an Interceptor. I opted to go the Nighthawk route, but I'm seriously considering adding a VFR to the stable.... RWB of course!  |

Ahh, yes the "other" 1985 bike I have always lusted for, the 500 Interceptor. That is SOOOOOO SWEET. I would love to have one of those in my garage to alternate days with my 85 Nighthawk S.  |

That was my first bike! I loved that little thing. I think I still have the lower fairing for it somewhere to make it a full fairing.

I can not believe how good that bike looks! When you get her home and all cleaned up how about some HQ detail shots to show it off!  |

Thanks for all the kind words. I have some TLC to perform before I can ride it, one of the floats is malfunctioning and causing a gas leak so I will be pulling the carbs and give them a cleaning. Most of the fuel lines are brittle and cracked, so I will be replacing them. Hopefully, I won't find any other issues and I will be able to take 'er fer a spin next week some time.

Update. I have spent quite a bit of time rebuilding carbs, rebuilding the clutch slave, tracking down electrical glitches, adjusting valves and generally checking everything I can think of. Took the 1st ride today!  Bike runs great, surpasses my expectations. I think it's a keeper. |
