    2007 VFR. I'm in love!

    Borrowed from a US forum.
    That retro Red-White-Blue paintjob is just sex on wheels, I love it!!!


    In the mid-1980s, nobody could catch the Interceptor. The AMA Superbike Champion bristled with Grand Prix technology and introduced a slew of industry-leading features, like the world's first liquid-cooled V-four in a sportbike, a single-shock rear suspension, anti-dive front suspension and a track-inspired fairing. Fast, agile and comfortable, the Interceptor launched a design philosophy that led to a whole line of high-performance street-going sportbikes. A line leading straight to today's Interceptor / Interceptor ABS. Like its predecessors, it boasts the most advanced technologies of its time, like a race-bred aluminum chassis and a VTEC-equipped, fuel-injected V-4 powerplant - the goods that earn it best sportbike honors year after year. For '07, we thought we'd offer a heritage paint scheme, so you can let all its racing DNA speak out - loud and clear.

    For me it was the choice beween the RF and VFR. Found the RF first... couldv'e been a different story though...

    Hell yeah, that would top it off nicely. That was always my favorite colour scheme.

    Yeah but next year you could have been riding a Honda 800cc V4.
    Just like Nicky Haden :-)

    You can't do that on your Suzuki.
