90 MPH. Aww heck no. Just drove my new to me from Iowa to Florida and I cruised on 75 at 80 MPH and bumper it above 90 when needed for traffic conditions. Bike ran great and rode excellent.
try 32psi front .. 36psi rear... great bikes for the money with a huge amount of reasonably priced accessories.... probably better for the older rider..lovely engine very relaxing to ride
Hello. I also own an f850gsa. It has a fuel gauge. You just need to press the “up” arrow on thr menu button and you can select trough milage, trip1, trip2, tire pressure and the fuel gauge
Yeah definitely! I thought the 865 was much smoother but could have used an extra gear at highway speeds. Nevertheless, i would still prefer this on the highway only because it felt a little more planted vs. the interceptor.
Just turned 15,000 miles on mine. Only issues: outer casing of speedo cable split and speedo quit working pretty early on. Warranty replacement has been good. Replaced tires around 6000 miles with Pirelli Sport Demon and the front rubbed inside the mudguard so had to add some washers to raise mudguard enough. Oh, got the Touring seat which I like, and it's awesome you can mount GIVI Monokey cases. That's it, love it. The upright position is perfect for commuting. It gives you great contol and view of traffic. At 5000rpm (of 7500) at indicated 74ish MPH it's really smooth.
I've had an Interceptor for 9 months and about 2,400 miles. I'm still happy with it. It checks quite a few boxes for me: it looks *great*, it sounds great, gets great gas mileage (about 55-60mpg), it handles well, there's lots of aftermarket stuff. It'll cruise all day at 75mph no problem. Power and torque are plenty for most purposes. The brakes work fine, the ergonomics are fine. And it has a likeable personality. But it's not a bike I'd want to ride to Alaska on. Or even 200 miles. The reason being that the suspension and seat are kind of stiff and cobby. Around town it's fine but it wouldn't be fun riding it all day long. That and the right mirror vibrates. Also, it's hard to impossible to read the digital gas display in bright sunlight. Those are my only complaints. I've got four bikes in the garage and the Interceptor is my main squeeze. Good review. New subscriber.
From my experience, no, not really. Though adding too many free flow components might start compromising low end torque and power delivery unless you get a booster plug/ Custom fuel map.
If you do any kind of night riding, look into an led bulb, the stock light just wasn't enough for me. . I got the Auxito h4 9003 HB2 and they work great.
Go for the GT Premium touring seat. I did that and it made a world of difference. One note, check the seat after changing it out from time to time. You may have to stretch the spring in the latch.
I started with the classic 350…no grunt with 20HP…upgraded to the red interceptor, a nice bike for about 3 months, again 47HP is not enough for this bike. Now own a triumph t120…great bike with enough HP and very well planted on the road…you get what you pay for..
