V-tec, schmee-tec! No contest (in MY opinion). Interceptor is too small (size-wise), not to mention lacking in performance. I was very gung-ho for quite a while about getting one (the VFR), until I got into the details. Reliable-yes, comfortable-yes, average 'all seem the same' Honda-yes, personality-minimal, scare you to death and leaving you smiling-NO WAY! You know where I stand!
