I'd argue that the current gen VFR/Interceptor is a pretty poor example
of what type of performance can be expected from an 800cc machine. If
they shaved a 100lbs or so off the dry weight I'd bet it'd feel a lot
better. And given the power output of motors like Triumph's 675 I'd like
to think you could get a few more than 99 ponies out of an 800 mill.
