MOTAD Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 As the man (was it Churchill?) sometimes the usa/europe language is lost in "translation" I know you guys work in "gen" rather than our boring model numbers have I got this right?

Member Contributer tbzep Posted April 16, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2012 VFR750 FR-FV 94-97 trapezoid headlights 4TH GEN That one should be described as the NACA duct bike. Oh, nevermind. He doesn't hang around here anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted April 16, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am "bilingual" in VFR-speak... I would agree with your chart, except that the 3rd-gen (FL-FP) was not a 1989 model (although it was available for sale in late 1989, "L" is the model year indicator for 1990), so you should say "90-93". Also, I've never heard of the 4th-gen being referred to by its headlights, but I see your point! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 16, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2012 The -there can be only one- 4th Gen is indeed identifyable by its NACA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted April 16, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2012 I thought I saw a generation picture chart once that showed the evolution of the Interceptor. Sort of like the "Ape to Man" chart they used to have in school. Does anyone know if that even exist? or did I dream that I saw that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTAD Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 thanks guys- the "trapezoid" bit came from our "Glasses guide" the uk fountain of all motorcycle knowledge doesnt trapezoid involve hanging of a bare over circus ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
