The early 80s intercepters, especially the 750 are about the coolest looking & sounding bikes from the 1980s. Very few 80s bikes still look good to me. The GPZ wins too.
I’m with you on that. I never had a GPZ, but I had a ZX900 Ninja, and I’ve had 2 VFRs, an 86 and a 94. Loved them both! (I still miss the gear driven cam sound of the VFRs.) As for looks though, I’d probably say one of my favorites is the cafe fairing GPZ1100.
I just looked up the GPZ1100. I’m with you on the cafe fairing/ chin piece version. That is sharp. Actually with the interceptors, they had a similar sport trim level with the quarter fairing and chin piece. That’s the best looking one to me: VF750 F circa 1983.

Zach, I think you are looking at the newer GPZ with the frame mounted fairing. I was refering to the 81-82 models with the fork mounted fairing.

(ignore the specs on that page, they are for the ZRX which is pictured behind the GPZ)
Those early VFR’s were sweet. I would like to find a 750 in good nick !
