    But Frank (Cycle Monkey) longs to ride a Honda.

    See sig line for my list.
    I still have almost every vehicle I've bought in the last 20 years.

    I try not to consider myself as "old" ... but it depends on who else is around.

    I've got an '84 Honda VF500F Interceptor (my first bike, bought new) that I'm restoring and an '85 Honda VF1000R recently restored.

    It never comes out of the garage anymore. It went to Steamboat in 1994 to the MRA races. Maybe it's time ...................

    Does anyone still have a functional "Turbo 500 Honda"? Remember when the turbos were the rage in the early '80's?

    I know of a 650 (the blue one) that is still on the road and in pristine condition. The 500 was the orange one.
