What do you guys think of the 2002-2004 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor. I have seen some really done up nice. How is there Reliability, Handling, and Power? They are really starting to grow on me. This is one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1
Thanks

 

if i had the money, i'd totally get one though it wouldn't be at the top of my list.
but with the bike you posted... i think there's a reason why there's no bids. it's ugly. take those decals off and maybe put the stock cans back on

 

Its comfortable enough to do a lot of commuting on and its sporty enough to be a lot of fun in the twisites.

The VFR in general is one of the most versatile bikes on the market. Honda reliability, comfort enough for touring, and until a few years ago a VFR wasn't far off from 600 SS machines.

"Bottle Fed" has one for sale, but it's a 95. I am torn about selling my brand-new SV and buying it; that should tell you something. Since you're in MD, maybe you should check it out.

I like the older styles (back when the bike was a 750) better than the new ones.

 

if only the vfr wasn't so porky... but i guess that helps make it more stable for touring?
any idea how much the more recent 750s weigh?

 

i like the wheels on that bike.

They're really not porky, they're just heavier than a sportbike.

 

Well I have read that in the twisties if you lay it low the exhausat pipes and the center stand will hit and it weighs like 500lbs. But I really like its style, 750cc, dual under seat exhaust, but I really don't care for the front to much. Anyone have one that can comment about the weight and performance.

 

pretty sure only the newer 800's have the underseat exhaust

 

How low do you plan to get it?

I guess most bikes will scrape something if you get them low enough.
