  Oh heck, why not get a Suzuki GSX750R? 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!!
