A guy at work has an '84 Intercepter 500. He is asking $1,200.00 Says it is in good shape with about 2800 miles on it. Someone else at work told me it was a 1000. Either way the price seems ok if it is as described. The guy is sometimes full of B.S. and is more into Harley's than sportbikes so I'm not drawing any conclusions until I see it. He did say the only mod to the bike was a 12volt power port and that he was the second owner and it had been stored in a garage. He also said he had the carb's rebuilt and sync'd. I have heard that the chain driven cams on these bikes give trouble and reapir costs are high. If purchased I plan on riding this bike only on rare occasions.

My questions: Is the cam problem more of problem with the 1000 than the 500? Are there any more issues to be considered? Are replacement parts easy to find? Are there any other bikes of the this era and style that I should consider?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I don't know all the issues with the Interceptor. However, I used to ride an 84 GPz 550. They made a 550 and a 750 back then. Great bikes. I have only seen a few of these on the road lately.
