[White trash]

Great choice of machine, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

[Sparky]

Working on one of them yeah, the black one I am riding was ment to be the spare parts one I got another that is almost finished. I still have to ride the black one (need it to get my full licence ). So I am getting ready for summer by getting a bigger bike. :niceone: :niceone:

Thanks, yeah it's pretty well looked after, very excited at the moment keep looking at it. Feel like a kid at Christmas

Nice bike matey. I have been priviliged enough to sit on one but not privilidge enough to ride one.

[Pwalo]

That's a real classic. As said earlier the Inteceptor was an American only model, but from what I've read was a bit sportier than it's later 750/800 incarnations.

Very nice.

Nice bike, great condition....

'Classic Bike' did a feature on the V4 Hondas (my god I'm so OLD) a couple of issues ago. They are usually pretty shallow (the articles) but usually a few good points in em and more fun than womans weekly..

Cheers

[ducatilover]

what kinda lap times do you fellas pull, if you dont mind me asking? also how do you go about getting a race lisence thingy or access to track days and that kinda stuff?

[FROSTY]

depends on the class. last years fastest F3 guys were doing 1.04's

[crash harry]

Nice bike dude. I rode a 700 a while back, and it was quite cool. Apparently they're a a USA tax-beater model cos there was a tax on all imports over 700cc to protect Harley from any actual competition.

I thought the one I rode had really nice torque and it was easy to ride. Never got to wind it out but I'm told they can boogie along alright.

I hope you enjoy it! :2thumbsup
