^^Was hoping it was a VFR1000 (aka VF1000R). 
that big V4 was no slouch...113HP in 1984 was nothing to sneeze at.
The V65 Magna and 1000 Interceptor were among the fastest bikes you could buy at the time. They could break into the 10s with some skill. Suzuki came out with the GS1150E in 1985 and it ran mid 10s all day long, the 80s race was on, and then came the V-Max, etc. Bikes got quick.
Always loved those Interceptors, always wished I'd tried a VFR800 too. Back in high school there was a couple of guys, one with a V65, one with a V-Max...both grew up racing and riding dirt bikes...they'd be doing wheelies for miles, blowing past the school on the highway at mega speed. So cool (when you're in high school) and kinda freaky when you look in your rearview mirror and see the bottom of something coming at you and blows past on one wheel. "Oh, it's just Bugsy!"
Friend of mine bought the V65...I ended up buying the V-Max (the owner "made" me ride it one night - he grabbed my 750 Nighthawk - and basically forced me to take his bike...I was sold 30 seconds in. Damn...that was the best, and I still romanticize about it today...obviously...) Anyway, we switched for a little bit of time, and I will say...V-Max to V65...no comparison. The V65 was slow. You could honk on that thing all day and it was as scary as a kitten. The V-Max would crush that bike in every way from here 'til Sunday. Fack I want one again...unfortunately my extra 100 lbs won't make it any faster. When you're a 135 lb 19 yr old...you're not stressing much of anything. Nostalgia Wax is the best wax.
