I had an '86 VFR700. The first of the gear-drive Interceptors.
Two problems.
One, my hands went to sleep in about 15min at under-50mph.
Two, it makes 95mph feel like 50.
Easy to get a ticket when you can't even tell you're going fast.
I guess that's my biggest problem with sportbikes in general.
At any semi-sane speed on the street, the bike is not working hard, kind of ho-hum.
If you're going fast enough to give the bike a work-out
on the street, you're a gambler of epic proportions.
So unless you're doing a track-day, it's kind of a bike without a purpose.
