I think you made a great choice. The RWB makes the bike really stand out. Now all you need are some white rims. Congratulations on your...
I might be able to afford it if I got rid of a kid, or two, or three. And to answer rustedroot's question, I would park it. It would be for show...
This past winter, I put a new set of the Bridgestone Battlax BT-020 tires on my '07. I've got about 3000 miles on them with no signs of wear yet....
I've got the Bridgestone Battlax BT45 tires on all of my '86 Interceptors. On the 500, I went with a 120 on the rear with no problems at all....
I just rebuilt mine about a year ago. All I ordered was the cup / seal and the gasket. That was it and the parts were available. The rebuild is...
Your bike is one of my all time favorites. Did you get the seat cowl with it? Having the white is worth the extra time it takes to clean it....
In the reply box, hover over the 7th icon from the left. The tool tip will say "Insert Image". That will allow you to attach an image from your...
You've got great taste in bikes. Welcome and congratulations on such a great find.
When I order parts for any of my '86 bikes online, I can almost always order the parts that I want. It is usually a day or two later where I get...
The quickest way to answer your question is for you to post a picture. We can more than likely tell you the year and the displacement just by...
There is also a VF1000R user's group on Yahoo. That too doesn't have a ton of activity, but it is at least another potential source for acquiring...
Very nice. I assume that the "Flying Banana" was a 5th Gen. If so, it would be interesting to see what you like or don't like on the new bike...
I've owned 4 of these bikes and as far as the speedometer reading goes, I don't think I've ever seen it over 115 MPH with a stock motor and stock...
That's a mystery to me as well. I think that some people get the itch and buy a bike, but quickly lose interest. Rather than sell the bike, they...
Nice find. It's rare to find one in that shape with low miles. I found my '86 500 with just 600+ miles. I'm an addict too and I don't want to...
See if you can locate an aftermarket full fairing. I have the Lockhart fairing on my bike and I know there were other options. I believe that...
I commute to and from work whenever they're not calling for rain (or snow). For me it is 60 miles round trip. I've been doing it for almost 20...
I'm just getting back from attending the Unadilla MX National today with my oldest son. Ryan Dungey got the overall in the 450 class with a 1-1....
Sounds like a great project. I completely restored my '86 750 almost 3 years ago now. Definitely keep us updated as things progress.
You've got yourself a great bike. I once had a new '99 5th Gen like yours and I had no complaints. It's an awesome bike. How many miles are on...
