Honda Interceptor: Live up to the hype?

Hello everyone on my new favorite website! Back yet again with another question.

Can someone give me their thoughts on the Honda Interceptor. Given my stats and location: 6'1, 230lbs, New York City riding (though I get away to Connecticut and places where open-road riding is much more available).

Is this bike all that the magazine & online reviewers crack it up to be? Claimed to be the perfect combination of sportbike, touring, and commuter bike I am pretty interested in checking a few out.

Prior to this I was pretty dead set on my bike being Honda's CBR600 F4i. Any comparison of the two or information from riders with personal experience with either is as usual greatly appriated.

While I appreciate new suggestions, I am most interested in learning more about these two specific bikes so that I can begin to put in order the bikes I will consider purchasing.

Don't know what I would've done without the help of this site. You guys are great!

i like the bike. Never ridden one but the looks and stats for it and the fact that its a honda makes me think its probably a great bike. Though is it your first bike?

Yes it would be my first bike. It was however recommended to me by my uncle who has been riding for over 20 years. He has let me ride several of his bikes and from my brief performances on them, he's making the suggestion. If owners of the Interceptor tell me otherwise, I may have doubts though.

i wouldnt recommend it as a first bike. Again, i havent ridden it but going off of its engine size, horse power and other stats it seems like it would be way to quick to be a good frist bike
