I went to Las Vegas in 2005 to Freddie’s riding school and his stories were epic. My two-up with him was even better. Cheers.
We called you in the UK fast Freddie only man to win a 250 cc championship and 500cc championship in the same year such a fantastic achievement no one was better than fast Freddie.💯
So true. Here in the US he was also known as Fast Freddie. 😂
I was there in Daytona several years. Freddie and the Honda team on those V4's were just incredible. Not only were these the fastest bikes out there - they were SO quiet! My Dad and I were huge Freddie fans. Ah, such fond memories. 🔥
I’ve always felt that the first 20 model years of the Interceptor were the most attractive. Riding both it and the GSXR was an absolute best riding experience up to that point in my life.
Thanks Freddie. Loved watching you race. Loving your insights
Thanks Freddie you look well and thanks for being my hero sir.
This is awesome! Fast Freddie is the man.
The Man. the Myth. I've never heard him speak--what a fascinating personality, a wealth of knowledge and experience...and so amiable; I could listen to him for hours. Freddie Spencer is a living treasure. Thanks.
Test rode one of these in the early 1980's - it was incredible. My brother had a CB750F2 which I had riden, but this was on a completely different level. It had linear power delivery and just kept pulling - had a beautiful engine note too.
That bike was definitely a game changer. I was racing a GPz up against these bikes for a season. Looked at a few of those tail sections pulling away from me.
Bought my interceptor in the spring of 1983 . Rode it to Laconia N.H. from Rochester N.Y. to watch the race's at the Briar race track , and was blown away at what the race versions where doing ! Kept my bike for 5yrs. ,sold it to a good friend who had it for 6 or 7 . Both of us lament having gotten rid of it . I'm so glad Freddy , you're still ' living the dream ' . You were one hell of a rider ! What I would have called 'surgical ' . ( fast was an understatement )
Around 1982 Honda went Berzerk, a watercooled V4, 16 V, 4 camshaft was top tech.
Though it seems strange they started with non-sporty-bikes VF750S and VF1100C
But Honda also offered the 6 cylinder CBX, the Goldwing 1100, the CB900, in 1983 the CB1100F and 1100R, and the CX 500 Turbo.
bought a '79 CBX brand new in the winter of '84, and owned it for 10 years.
Sold it for as much as I bought it for. (was starting my own business)
should have robbeda bank instead......
A V-Engine looks so great in a sports bike. Blue-White-Red, beautiful old Honda colors.
I am huge fan of your! We love you!
Freddy you are my hero
I owned an 85 , was very happy you said you loved this bike .
I had the privilege of watching Freddie Spencer win his last AMA superbike race on a fast by ferrachi Ducati at Laguna seca❤😊
These early Honda V4s had the terrible top end, valve , camshaft issues. Well the bikes were great for racing of course because if you are a factory racer you don’t care. As long as the bike wins. I have a 1984 VF1100 Sabre which I have added the high volume oil line kit. That bike is still a beast and it’s comfy
I raced one for 2 years and rode it on the street. I kept the valves adjusted and changed the oil after every race weekend and never had a cam or valve gear problem.
Freddie ❤
Second bike I ever owned. Loved it.
I saw you race 250 and 500 GP in South Africa
Fast Freddy was the man
I had a VF500F and that was a great machine. Honda mess-up! they should have stuck with the V4.
I had a Honda VFR interceptor 750. I think it was back in '86. The one with the sand colored engine. Nice bike except it had a suspension like a buck board, which is to say no suspension at all.
Notorious top end failure issues though. I had one and it chewed its cams up.
✌🏻😊
Hey Man, You Know I've Never Imagined You As An Old Guy. No Offense Intended, I'm An Old Guy! I Remember What You Did Back Then! Thank You.
Freddie I bet you never had to remove and replace the carbs on these bikes. That job is the worst
That’s racing for you.
The art of packaging, and the need of the Pro Mechanic!
Carbs hell ! Must be you never adjusted your valves . You had to first drop your top half of the radiator just to start the tight project . Nightmare to work on , but a great engine , and that 16 inch front wheel fell into a turn so quickly . What a joy to ride !
My mates rode Guzzis and beemer opposed twins. They had to do more maintenance with shorter intervals but they could do a full service by the time I got the cam cover off my Yamaha.
About 45 minutes to an hour.
Loved that 16 inch wheel though!
Loved my 83 V45 Interceptor. Too bad about the Engine After a 125mph quick blast dowm Route 40 in Florida. Still ran like hell when I had to sell it. ( Rod Bearings)
