Bikes I would "like" to have back... I got back.
I recently GOT BACK the bike I love most; the VFR800 Interceptor (5th generation).
Back story:
In 1992 I bought my first "sport/touring" bike, a VFR750 (black). I loved that bike, and swore I would never sell it... that is... until a super deal on a 2001 (red) VFR800Fi dropped into my lap and I HAD TO upgrade the VFR750 to the VFR800. While I though the VFR750 was the bike to end all bikes... the VFR800 was light years ahead of the ol' VFR750.
Fast forward to 2010; I bought my ST1300 and at the time thought the VFRF800 was redundant, so I sold my VFR800 (red)... little did I know...
Fast forward again to 2014; Well, the error of my ways got the best of me and I longed for the gear driven cam and Staintune pipe sound of my VFR800, so I went on craigslist and found a 2000 VFR800Fi (yellow) for sale and knew I had to have it.
One never really forgets their first (sport/touring) love, I'm home again, on the most amazing (IMHO) motorcycle ever built, the Honda VFR.
