A pal came and watched me @ Nelson Ledges Mon.He's been a friend and knew my parents since I was a youngster. Likes to come to the track and offered up his Honda 500 Intercepter for next yr. ( He has about a dozen bikes)Awsome! Looks like I have some saftey wiring to do. I'll have to check and see if there is a Intercepter site for info.And get some good rubber for it.  Dan

That was my first bike. An 86 model. Awesome bike for racing. torquey and horsepower (best of both worlds) V-four produces 66 horsepower in stock form. Good handling. Very durable. I drove mine for over 2 years all four seasons (25,000 miles) and only replaced a thermostatic switch which turned on the fan to cool the engine ($70.00 fix) outside of routine care.

I had the 1986 Honda Intercepter 500. 2 years of riding and I still could'nt kill the d**n thing.
The only thing that matters is how fast you can get from 0 to 60, because top speed is secondary
