He says that Honda has discontinued the 750 and 1100 Sabres as well as the 1100 Magna. It's part of major cutbacks in product line size for Honda and other manufacturers. This month's Cycle Canada hints at a new 750 Honda sport machine (the Interceptor, while being a great bike, can't match the FZ750 or GSX750R. Amazing how fast greatness is superceded these days.) Then of course we'll be getting a smaller FZ and a bigger FZ probably too. Should be interesting. How much more brutal (stock bikes being practically race ready) can they get? Or *should* they get? So much for today's tantalizing tidbits. Robyn -------------- (P.S. Substitute 700 for 750 everywhere if south of border. Hope Harley appreciates it.) Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
