Yellow Fever

I guess it's old news to some of you by now, but the dear old Kan-a-tuna, which was simply pissing me off with its constant-project status, has been retired in favor of a brand-old new 2001 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor.

Color: very, very yellow. Beggars can't be choosers.

Anyhow, here she is in all her glory. No German, it ain't bangin an asian chick, but this kind of yellow fever will do for a while.

The specs, in case any of you are inclined, whether mechanically or otherwise, to care:

800cc (that's almost 50 cubic inches, in real gearhead-speak)
90 degree v-four cylinder layout, 16valve110 horsepower @ 10.5k rpm (11,800 redline), 62 lbs./ft. of torque
Water cooled, twin ancillary radiators
6 speed transmission, natch
460 pounds dry
150mph (theoretical) top speed, and I say theoretical because I'll never be stupid enough to put it there
dual 296mm front discs, single 256mm rear disc, and a single-sided swingarm that I find immensely cool
5.5 gallon fuel tank, theoretical range 210-275 miles
winner of numerous awards at its release, including "Bike of the Year," and "Best Sport Tourer," etc.

I can't wait to take this one touring - Vegas awaits! Now all I need is someone to ride bitch on the pillion...

Oh, and I now own three bikes. Anyone interested in a couple of used Suzukis?
