    And the temples of his Gods

    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
