Honda Interceptor description

I have a 1985 Honda VF1000R project that I have lost interest in.  I have title, but still in previous owners name. I have $1,200 into it, but would accept a 'Best Offer'.  Try me, you may be surprised. 
If you are familiar with these bikes, you know how unique and advanced it was for 1985, but so heavy, it could not compete against the other race bikes of the time.  
It might be worth more being parted out, but I dont want to mess with the effort that it would involve.  Comes with a service manual.  

Not in running condition, but close. I have not performed a compression or leak down test.  Carbs have been rebuilt and installed. 
Miles on ODO may not be representative of the bike, since it came in a box of parts when I bought it. Previous owner has several of these bikes, so ODO could have come from any other them.
Missing front plastics/fairing pieces and other misc bits.
Tank is solid with very light surface rust on inside, on spot welds. 
Seat is in great condition and not faded.  No holes.
I do not have the bump-cushion for the rear cowl.
 
If you want a specific picture or have a question, please feel free to ask. 
 
Thank you

Isle of Man TT 2014: Monster Supersport TT 1 Results

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Gary Johnson narrowly beat out Bruce Anstey to take the first of two Supersport races at the 2014 Isle of Man TT. Riding the Daytona 675, Johnson’s win was the first for Triumph since 2003, ironically, with Anstey taking the victory that year in the Junior 600cc class. The race started three hours behind schedule due to fog, but once it began it quickly became a duel between Johnson and Anstey.

FIM to Revise WSBK Homologation Requirements

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

The International Motorcycling Federation is considering modifying its homologation requirements for the World Superbike Championship following Bimota‘s somewhat surprising plans to re-enter the series. Under current regulations, manufacturers must produce a minimum number of motorcycles for it to be eligible to compete in the production-based WSBK championship. The official regulations currently require a minimum of 125 units produced for an initial homologation inspection, 500 units produced by June 30 of the current year, 1,000 units by the end of the current year and 2,000 units by the end of the following year.
