RE: what the heck is a VFR-800?
I went to my shop the other day, and they had just received a '99 VFR800 in trade. It's red and has 15k miles...OTD price is $5000 plus tax. Very sweet bike. I will definitely be getting one when I get too old for a CBR. I just hope they don't discontinue them.
I have heard though from other sportbikers that the V-TEC can scare you if you're used to riding aggressively. Like if you're in the middle of a turn, and you get on it the VTEC kicks in at 7kRPM and gives you a quick boost or something.

You'll get lag before the boost. LOL Honda is still working on it.
I got my '01 with around 21k miles for $4500. The '99 and '00 dont have a cat, also have bigger headers so thats a plus.

I love the Interceptors. I would like to have one someday if I can ever afford two bikes (yeah right). Actually, I almost bought one for my first bike. Had a business aquaintance that had one for sale. Would have been too much bike for me...probably still is.

My dad use to have a 1986 vfr 750 in the blue, white, and red color scheme until he traded it for his new 1krr. That bike was bulletproof, sounded sweet, and could still run with the new bikes today no prob and the new 800's with the same piant job look even better, definitly a classic.

I think they are the best looking sport touring bike there is. I can see myself on one years from now.
