Speaking of V45 interceptor...I also owned an '85 red VF750F at the same time I owned the cb1100f .
Bought it so my g/f (now wife) could go ride up in the hill country behind me.
That VF just blew me away w/ how refined and how easy it was to ride.
power was very linear, brakes were well balanced front and back, handling extremely neutral.
It was very noticeable how much better the Interceptor was all around, day in day out, compared to the CB1100F.
Like night and day noticeable.
But yea, Ferret... in the mid 80's...
the streets were ruled w/ big liter muscle bikes.
My two riding buddies rode GS750 & GS1100
Had another buddy I hooked up with to do
a ride from Austin to Daytona Beach for spring break in '86.
He rode a KZ1000. Just a golden period of spectacular motorcycles
on the road.
