Ran up to Harbor Freight yesterday and grabbed a lift table for my storage unit. The storage unit that has electricity that I intend to keep. At least until I can build a shop/shed here.

I have the same lift table here at my house. But this will make it easier to service the bikes I have at that location. Lift tables are game changers when it comes time to work on a motorcycle!

My latest scooter arrived last night. It's the one in front with the proper Grey seat. The Blue seat on the back bike is for a RWB model. Eventually I will address everything.

This new one runs and rides amazing! It is my fourth '87 VFR700F in Blue.

Color choice in '86 was RWB (Red/White/Blue) and in '87 either Blue or White.

They only made this VFR700F Interceptor model for two years...'86 and '87. They are considered "Second Generation" Interceptors. Also know as RC-26 models.

The newest acquisition......a 1984 Honda VF500F. Only 10K original miles. Runs perfect! About a 9/10 on condition. :)

They only made these VF500F's for 3 years. '84-'86. I also own an '86 and love how it's rides!

The Honda VF 500 F, also known as the Interceptor in the United States and Canadian markets, was a sports motorcycle made from 1984 until 1986 when it was replaced by the Honda CBR600F "Hurricane." It was known as one of the finest handling machines of the 1980s.

Noticed the trailer mod. How did that go?

Here's the one I just picked up this evening at the speedway. Mechanically - in excellent condition. Needs some help on the body - that's all. It's an early '86 VFR700 Interceptor. They only made them in RWB that year. This one has the wrong lower fairings on it and an aftermarket tail fairing that isn't really secured in the photo, but I'll fix that.

I swear - I do not plan on acquiring any more. At least for a while. ;)

It's a good looking bike but will look much better with the white fairings.

Another 86? You keep buying motorcycles and you are going to need a second storage unit.
Yes another '86 but......this one is a 750....instead of the 700.

That's significant because Honda didn't send this one to the states back then because of the Harley Davidson tariff imposed by President Reagan on any bike greater than 700cc's.

So we got the 700 and the ROW got the 750 (with more HP).

Pretty decent article on this particular bike:


And here is what they look like from the factory:

Great looking bike. I really like the all white with gold lettering. It's just a clean looking bike, but I wouldn't turn down a RW&B version.
