Deenice21, who makes the 650R?



I used to ride a Ninja ZX6 back in the day and I really liked it, it wasnt overly aggressive but I was younger then too. :) I might have to look at the Ducattis (they are expensive though?) and does Honda still make the Interceptor?

kawasaki . sit on it.



for me its the perfect fit. more of a standard with a lot of sportbike look. i almost bought one the other day but then i found out about the new 250r so i am waiting to see how i fit then ill buy one of the two

JDookie, I would go for the VRSCD Night Rod personally. Ive never ridden one, but the VRSCAW has a bit of a wierd seating postion that I think was changed a bit on the Night Rods? There's no way I could afford 2 Harleys though.



Black240SX, Ill have to check it out and see what they are like.

Yup, Honda does still make the Interceptor. If you are looking for a less aggressive riding position than the hard core sportbikes, the VFR (Interceptor) would be a great bike for you. Here is a link to the 08 Interceptor page at Honda.



Honda Motorcycles



It is only offered in Silver for 08...

Oooh I like the Interceptor! I might have to go to a dealer and check one out. I like the ABS model but at $12k its only about $5500 less then my softail was before fee,s taxes, etc. I think I might also want to check out the Kawasaki ZZR600 and 650R, they seem much less aggressive then a pure sport bike and are cheap.

Chuck,



The Interceptor or also called the VFR does not have traditional "crotch rocket" ergonomics. Just as a comparison sit on a CBR1000RR and then sit on a VFR, the difference will be immediately apparent. Even though Honda lists the VFR with it's other sport bikes it is more of a sport tourer than a pure sport bike.



There is a great forum dedicated to the VFR if you want to find out more.

Here's one we detailed up here at the shop back a little while ago. Wish I would've gotten a few before pics because this thing was hit. Guys granddaughter put her flip flop on the muffler when it was hot and melted it. So there was a lot to do. But I think it turned out pretty good ;)

Just ran across this image of my 1997 VFR 750 taken last winter. Took her out of hibernation just for this shot ;)



That is ice on the trees in the background :cry:
