[edit] ABS?

Was ABS available before 2002 model year? I don't think it was in the US market, at least.

If not, then perhaps we can push mention of ABS down to the 6th-gen paragraph.

It wasn't available with ABS on the 5th Gen in the UK, the big tech jump was the linked braking. FabreFaction 08:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert "Interceptor" headline

The VFR is marketed by Honda as the "Interceptor" in the US, and actually had that name back in the early 80's as well. I reverted the changes to the headline and just put a slash, because frankly, few people in the US call it the "Interceptor" anyway. The Honda CBR used to be the the "Hurricane" if anybody remembers that :) The headline edited by the anon IP 82.34.102.225 was oddly worded in my opinion, making a big distinction where little is necessary. --Sirimiri 03:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] remove POV phrasing

There were unverified/NPOV bits in the article, such as "handling described by some as impeccably neutral" etc. etc. Such catagorical statments need citation from a reputable source. I don't like Ducatis because of personal prejudice, but I'm not going to put "Some are turned off by the high price of ownership of a Ducati motorcycle" because that would be unsubstantiated POV language. "Buzz" and opinions from enthusiast forums are not an acceptable source for any encyclopedia. --Sirimiri 03:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
