Yes the gearing of the Interceptor 800 is too close and too long for around town. And the engine has very poor torque at low rpm. Second gear chugs when turning right through a green light so you then have to clunk down into first even though you are still going 20 mph. And then there is also the poor fuel mileage from all of the waste heat.
