Classic Hondas - Fireblade vs VFR750. An owner's view

Two iconic and charismatic Hondas from the glory years, but which is best? As a Honda Fanboy, here, I do a detailed run through of what for me, are each bike's strengths and weaknesses across 4 categories to determine A WINNER! These are personal views and opinions and I'm no nerdy expert, so there may be things you disagree with, in which case please join in the comments conversation.
