Plus, I can get into one cheap.

I don't want a big scooter like the Bergman. I just want to downsize from the VFR mainly. I love the thing, but it's so hard to enjoy without fear of catching a felony speeding charge because I sneezed and blipped the throttle.

I will keep the Hawk as a good fun/alt bike, even though there are many new Chinabikes I would love to have. I just have a connection to the Hawk.

Those are a couple of big bikes you are looking at Jerry. Looking to do some iron butt challenge style riding?

there's no replacement for displacement.

More rpm is. Just don't mind if your low rpm torque is a bit weak lol

Well look what the cat dragged in? Hey Dan. I love my Interceptor. A fine choice, indeed.

I did see that you ended up with one. My envy is real. I am going to take my vfr in to the local RE dealer in April and see what kind of deal I can work out. It's gonna be another Orange bike lol

I envy VFR interceptor owners. This bike was one of the true classic Honda triumphs. I used to walk by (gazing) one in the garage to get to my lowly Jetta when I parked a few blocks away just to get out of the baking sun. Red, of course.

I don't have to tell you that after you sell it, you will miss it. I felt this way after selling at least three bikes... 1. a modified first gen Bandit with Mikuni RS smoothbore (accelerator pump) carbs rack, dyno2000 ignition advance, D&D header with adjustable flow Supertrapp slip-on (paid for flat black anodizing), SS braided lines, 6 piston calipers from a GSXR750, more. 2. GSX1100F Katana race replica (electric adjustable windshield, full fairing with belly). Vance and Hines chrome comp exhaust, new Mettzler OEM tires, Euro rack, tankbag. 3, GS1100G shaftie with Vetter full OEM fairing/bags color-matched maroon taken from a Gold wing (complete with hooded chrome headlamp and new OEM windshield with pop-up louvers. Gold pin striping, NOS Aamco sliding backrest/luggage rack, three point engine guards with footrests. What was I thinking?

Well, you know what I am sayin'

I know I will regret it, but that's every bike I have sold. They are all unique and have their own personalities. That's the nice thing though, there is always another bike out there to suit your desires.

I miss the 2 1st gens i had. Never got to ride the '83 but cant remember why. Rode the '85 for about 6 years and ended up selling it to make room for the Deuce. Wouldn't mind picking up another, Though i think id opt for the 500CC version this round.
