So we bought this Interceptor 650 in May for Mrs Gunner and she signed up for the msf course next weekend but got her permit last month. She wanted to putt around the community college lot to see how much she remembered from riding a little bit in the 90's. She did really well and we are going out again tomorrow. I forgot how cool looking the bike is.
Way cooler looking than I remember. Stats-2019 with 175 miles on it at purchase.

They are pretty faithful to the original (mine).

Weird thing is, that's not a factory color. The original owner had it painted that way. No idea why. It was originally an 'electric' blue.
The next day we both took our bikes out in the neighborhoods behind us and rode around residential areas and a tiny bit of rural paved roads. If I hadn't known her, I would have guessed she had her license already. She only stumbled a bit when we had to stop at an uphill stop sign and she stalled it once but she pulled in the clutch and fired it right back up and rolled on just like any of us would do. She'll be fine.
