    Tis nice to see one manufacturer avoiding the current ugly bike phase motorcycle manufacturers seem to be going through.

    I was never a fan of the 800's looks but that's damn sexy.

    Red, white, and blue sells in the USA, but I could live with that.

    There is also the added bonus in that next year it'll be the same layout and size as the factory Moto GP bikes...

    now thats pretty cool. Would be good if the ZX-R range from kwaka came out with the retro ZXR graphics just for a laugh.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    The "Interceptor" name tag aint new, the VFR's have always been tagged this in the States. Heres the '06 version for sale http://powersports.honda.com/motorcy...odelId=VFR8006

    Wonder what happened to the rumoured 1200cc V5 version?

    all the VFR reviews I've read say "great bike, but the VTEC thing where you get a powerband sucks"

    the paintscheme rules though. I have a VF750 1983 taking up space in my garage if anyone wants it for cheap..... obviously now its collectable its less cheap.
