I bought an 83 750 Interceptor new and still have it. A couple of months back I bought a 84 VF-1000F. I was in the motorcycle dealership the other day and the parts guys said the VF-1000 is very rare and you don’t see those anymore.
I do see them for sale regularly…are they really that rare? Were they all scrapped or are they all hiding in peoples garages?
I have only seen 2 in the last 10 years. One is mine that I just pulled out of the barn after 26 years in hiding. I have serial # 1000021. Not sure if that means I have #21 for Canada, North America or the World.
Australia-East coast at least seems to have a reasonable number, on the road, and in sheds. We have a few here in the VJMCC. They appear regularly appear on Gumtree, and fleebuy, complete bikes, wrecks, and parts. I`ve got an 85FF on the road, and another 85 FF project, as well as an 84 FE in bits. I’ll probably be fitting FE bodywork to the Project FF, as I like the look of the FE arse end better.
Theres quite a few down in the South as well. I believe they have a few in West Australia too. I forgot that you guys on the East coast quite often forget that there is a North South and West Coast as well.
