SO THERES A GUY WITH a '83 V45 and an '85 V45...

[Chapomis_imp]

Both in decent original condition, around 30k miles but he is asking way too much i think...4500 for the 83 which is pretty clean, dent in tank, minor cosmetics - bubbling on the crank case - could be buffed...and 1000 for the 85 with no title (would cost about 700 to get a bonded title)

Any ideas on how to bring him back to reality without being insulting??

Kelley says 1700 for excellent on the 83, Nada Says 3700 for excellent....

Im going to ride my CB back over there today and maybe it will let down his guard that I am a true Honda enthusiast. I'll get pics later.

Interceptor or Magna? Magna is not worth squat; Interceptor, yes, 1983 would be a collector's item for sure. I think he is being real. However make SURE the cams have been done, otherwise it's worth zip. Cams and and an oil line needed to be replaced, it was a recall.

I would pay 4500 easy for a really clean, good-running VF750F if I was in the market for vintage stuff. Bike is great. Same power/weight as CB1100.

Dented tank and other cosmetics is far from excellent, even in an Interceptor 4,500 is high.
