History of the Mighty VFR at Cycle World WOTM

Posted on by Motopsycho

The Interceptor

1984 VFR 1000


Repeat after me INTERCEPTOR The original VFR was one of the greatest motorcycles ever produced. I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride every time I threw my leg across on. But you have to be a serious masochist to enjoy working on them. The complexity of these engines is both intimidating and awe inspiring at the same time. Sure the GSXRs, Ninjas, and Honda’s own CBR soon left the VFR behind, (but not far behind). All too soon the maximum rocket-ship of the eighties became the competent sport tourer/sport commuter of the nineties and beyond. Even so it stayed at the head of the sportbike class technology wise and always seemed to have the power and handling needed to get the respect of all the local “Ricky Racer” boys, while being cerebral and practical enough for the older guys to try to pretend that they were not trying to pretend to be young again.
Apparently John Burns over at Cycle World must be a fan too because he compiled a nice multi-part history of this bike that you can read here.

Should you happen to have one the old 80s 700-1100cc VFRs lying around taking up space in your garage and you really need to get rid of it let me know. I’m exactly the kind of masochist who would enjoy restoring one.

When I read about this guys accomplishments in WERA roadracing on an electric motorcyle I was amazed. I watched the electric racers at the Isle of Man and have been somewhat following the development of street going electrics.
But Mr. Yates has done a fantastic job of promoting the performance potential of the electric motorcyle.
