[net.cycle] what's coming in 86

While shopping for a new helmet on the weekend, I got talking to
the dealer about '86 bikes. 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 Amazing how fast greatness is superceded these days.)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.

Hope Harley appreciates it.)
