Hey all!

Hey,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Matt and I owned a 1985 VF700F with the red primary color paint job. It had Kerker slip-ons, LED front and rear turn signals, projector style headlight, and the rear fender mod (10 minutes with a sawzall ). I sold it to my father after a year and a half as it was my first bike and I was riding it way too fast. I now own a 86 Kawasaki Ninja 250R that has pod filters, jet kit, slip-ons, rear fender mod, LED turn signals, metal-flake paint, a handful of other stuff, and 2,000 miles .

Unfortunately I have no pics of the 700 with mods, here it is stock:




Here's a picture of the Ninja:



My plan now is to get a 98-01 (whatever gen that is) body style interceptor 800 as I think it looks the best of all of them--besides the 2010. If I don't get the 800 next year then I'll be looking into the 1200 in a few years.

Pleased to meet you all

Hey welcome Matt. The 5th gen 98-01 is a great bike you'll love it. There are a lot of 5th gen dudes who can help you out with your pre purchase plans I'm sure.

I own a 99 and it rocks I've had it up to 145 and felt smooth (minus the wind),fun,and powerful. Go for it and get one.

WELCOME!! Nice set of Yosh pipes on the VF700! Where are you located?

^^Almost ;) they were Kerker's. A little quiet for my taste so I yanked out the glass packing. If you leave the pucks in the ends they are relatively quiet still and if you take them out it sounds like a Harley :D I miss it already.

I'm in NH, Concord area.
