1984 Honda reviews

even with the problems --i love this bike ----always gets great comments from riders-----ive got 10000 miles on it and i am sure my performance probs are cam related (flat response-slow acceleration)---can anyone suggest an inexpensive solution Show less

I purchased an 84 know ing nothing of their history of cam problems.The CG feels nice & low.The sound & feel of the engine is very torquey.Wind- screen is to short, like most in it's class.It's a blast to ride.I can't believe Honda released an engine with this terrible tensioner,& poor top end oiling design!!They did re- design it thousands of bikes later. that's the pain you must endure to ride this infamous early V45.

I'v only riden two bikes and this is one of them. With the hondaline faring this bike fits all my needs. i ride it back and forth to work everyday from march thru october, and plan to take a 3000 mile trip this summer. It is very fast and nothing can match its versatility. Show less

Powerful, very stable at high speeds. Good gas mileage and reliable. You better hang on when you crank on the throttle on the highway because it will absolutely scare the pants off you. Has good bottom end power also if you like to run around at low rpm. I've owned about 30 bikes. Sporster, Harley Knucklehead, Flathead, Panhead, Indians, Triumphs and multiple rice burners and this is the best of em all. Show less

I purchased a used vf750f Interceptor after spending a few years "Bike Free". I wanted a bike with a bit more performance than what I had in the past, but was on a really small budget. Well, this bike proved to fit the bill! I purchased one for $1000 Canadian dollars, and have had a really good experience both riding and repairing this model. Parts are easy to come by, if somewhat expensive, and the bike is easy to work on. This bike is billed as the first production superbike, and it's legacy lives on in every sport bike since it's time. The Interceptor is very fast, handles very well, but is able to take you on a long tour, if that's what you do! I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants to try a sportbike for the first time, but does not want to commit 10 - 15 g's. It also comes in 500 and 1000 cc models. Show less

The best motorcycle that I ever owned -- would gladly pay list price for another one! Show less

This bike is an awesome on-off road bike, it's pretty fast for a 4-stroke. Cool dual carbs, & good stock exhaust. A little heavy (fork seals are blown on mine). I recently switched to a yz125 for a lighter off-road bike. Show less

Hi. I have an Odyssey. I would like to no how the hell I get some parts aftermarket. Of course I am having some trouble with wheels my tyre keeps going down. I think I have buckled the wheel. Show less

This was one of my favorite rides. I still own it and I can never see selling this one away. I am rebuilding it at this time. Honda V4s have an oiling problem to the cams. There is a kit to fix this. And this bike has a cult following that can be found on the web. This is what woke me up to these machines. Besides, some babe showed me how quick she could get away from my dog 850 Yamaha on a V45. This is a bike for the tickerer and mechanically inclined. Show less

I've ridden every day for the last three year; it is my primary transportation. It handles well in rain, sun, heat and cold. Given not much more than rudimentary maintenance, this thing has taken everything I could throw at it. Gets up and goes from any gear, corners pretty good and takes my 240 lbs. around effortlessly. Riding this has been an absolute pleasure. I am sold FOREVER on big bikes. Doesn't vibrate much, like other bikes I've ridden. Show less
