The 2 fiddy, I couldn't pass up the deal. Craigslist, under $1k, started riding it, and I've put less than $500 more into it to get the fairings back on it. A few months later, was looking on Craigslist again, found the 500, paid $500, put less than a $200 in it, including the gasket set I'm about to order for it. I started riding bikes late (36), because I wasn't ready for it, and would have been less than responsible about it. When I was a kid in the mid to late 80's, my cousin had a couple interceptors, one was a 500, I think the other was a 750. I've always like the looks of them, and the more vertical riding position. The 2 fiddy is a decent riding position for me, but the seat gets uncomfortable pretty quick. This year, I plan to ride the Interceptor everywhere, and the 2 fiddy is for the wife.
