Agreed. It is a piece of history and has a following. When people see mine, they think it is new. They don't realize that it is 24 years old....
Congratulations on the quick sale. What a gorgeous bike. Completely stock too. Definitely a rare find for the buyer.
So how many years did it take you before you realized what you had? I'm assuming that is why you've bought another one after all these years....
The bike looks great. +1 on the white wheels. They will put an exclamation point on the RWB color scheme.
It is for that reason that I don't run a full synthetic in any of my '86 Interceptors. I am running and have been running a semi-synthetic for...
When I found my 500, it too was a mess. It only had 600 miles on it, so I saw the potential. It's amazing what a little elbow grease can do....
When I was in high school, I told myself that I would own an '86 VF1000R some day. Of course, back then, I had little money and had to worry...
As far as riding again, your first reaction is usually the right one. Everyone is different. Definitely glad to hear that you'll be OK.

It definitely looks better than stock. I too would like to see a higher mount exhaust. Also, they have a couple of pictures of the bike with the...
Make sure you take a picture of the big "0" on the odometer before you take it out!
This bike should have come with the hard bags - just like it's competition does. I think that the hard bags makes the bike look complete. I've...
With proper maintenance, I understand that you can go 100K. Some will say that this bike had the top-end oiling problems, but I haven't seen...
Congratulations. I'm glad to hear you're keeping the '86 too. Are you planning any modifications? Do you plan to add any of the hard bags?
Awesome. My son and I are itching to get out this weekend for the first time this year. I've got an XR650R and he's got a CRF70. He started out...
It looks to be in great shape. They are really hard to come by in decent condition. I love the low end torque of this motor. It definitely has...
Even at $6995, some dealers are still charging processing fees, shipping, etc. Have them break it down for you. Even so, it is a great price....
I bought a Mityvac in order to bleed my clutch and brakes. I can't believe that I did it manually in the past. It takes a fraction of the time...
I'm with Scubalong. I'd go new. $1400 for a warranty and the peace of mind that the bike is properly broken in is well worth the money.
Yes, it is an awesome bike. It's one of my favorites.
