Did the VFR start the Suburb Bike class

Make that SUPERB Bike Class

Go back to 1983, the first intercepters were unique, powerful enough and were all the buzz. But it really was 1986 I believe that started the sport and maybe tourer class in one. It seems that all of the manufacturers started copying the intregrated fairings, aluminum frames, power and beauty that the 2nd generation machines delivered. To this day, I still think it is a great looking machine and still quite capable of quicking flushing ones adrenal gland.

I am not saying this is the "best looking" iteration of the VFR. I do like the single sided swing arm, but for quite a while, it seemed that they all started looking alike.

One thing I can say, is that people KNOW what I am riding when I criuse by. Can't say that for many other machines these days.
