Loved my 83 V45 Interceptor. Too bad about the Engine After a 125mph quick blast dowm Route 40 in Florida. Still ran like hell when I had to sell it. ( Rod Bearings)
I’ve always felt that the first 20 model years of the Interceptor were the most attractive. Riding both it and the GSXR was an absolute best riding experience up to that point in my life.
Bought my interceptor in the spring of 1983 . Rode it to Laconia N.H. from Rochester N.Y. to watch the race's at the Briar race track , and was blown away at what the race versions where doing ! Kept my bike for 5yrs. ,sold it to a good friend who had it for 6 or 7 . Both of us lament having gotten rid of it . I'm so glad Freddy , you're still ' living the dream ' . You were one hell of a rider ! What I would have called 'surgical ' . ( fast was an understatement )
We called you in the UK fast Freddie only man to win a 250 cc championship and 500cc championship in the same year such a fantastic achievement no one was better than fast Freddie.💯
These early Honda V4s had the terrible top end, valve , camshaft issues. Well the bikes were great for racing of course because if you are a factory racer you don’t care. As long as the bike wins. I have a 1984 VF1100 Sabre which I have added the high volume oil line kit. That bike is still a beast and it’s comfy
That bike was definitely a game changer. I was racing a GPz up against these bikes for a season. Looked at a few of those tail sections pulling away from me.
I had a Honda VFR interceptor 750. I think it was back in '86. The one with the sand colored engine. Nice bike except it had a suspension like a buck board, which is to say no suspension at all.
Had the VFR1000R. Raced with a Porsche Turbovgoing up IS15 into LA back in mid 80’s. This before most of the roads going into LA weren’t freeways. Sooooo smooooooth and fast at mid to redline.

Thanks Freddie you look well and thanks for being my hero sir.

Freddie I bet you never had to remove and replace the carbs on these bikes. That job is the worst

Notorious top end failure issues though. I had one and it chewed its cams up.

Che porcheria questa VF 750, un elefante senza stile ne' innovazione 🤮. Grom nella media.

Thanks Freddie. Loved watching you race. Loving your insights

I went to Las Vegas in 2005 to Freddie’s riding school and his stories were epic. My two-up with him was even better. Cheers.
I had a VF500F and that was a great machine. Honda mess-up! they should have stuck with the V4.
I still have my 84 VF1000 Interceptor that i bought when new. Still a joy to ride today
I ride my 83 VF750F everyday. Fly on Freddie!

I went to the Honda dealership with the Cycle World magazine, put it on the counter and said " when will you get this !????😊😊😊😊
Had three of these, two 750's and a 1000. Nothing but great memories of those on the backroads in the Bay Area in the 80's.
For me is one of the most beautiful motorcycle ever made, pity that reliable issues that condemnet it to be forgotten
