The new 750 Interceptors should be good but the Suzuki is lighter and more powerful. I actually would like to trade my 83 VF750F in on a new Ducati 750F1. Ah now there's a sport bike! The RG is a bit too much for street duty. I know what you mean about the Interceptors, there're just too comfortable!! grego @ Tektronix (lost in the rain forrests)
