HONDA VFR1200F Interceptor (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VFR1200F Interceptor was a sports-touring motorcycle manufactured from 2009 until 2017. It was part of Honda's seventh generation of VFR models, which included new technologies such as the first dual-clutch transmission integrated into a motorcycle.

The production of the VFR1200F started in 2009, and the first models were delivered in 2010. The transverse-mounted V4 engine architecture was kept from previous VFR models, although the engine and transmission were completely new designs.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle maker introduced the Honda VFR1200F Interceptor, a sports-touring machine that ended production in 2017 when it was replaced by the Honda NT1100 model.

The 2010 model was built on a double-beam cast aluminum frame with a single-sided swingarm. The frame housed a 41 mm HMAS adjustable inverted telescopic fork mounted on the front and a Pro-Link adjustable gas-charged shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

For braking purposes, the motorcycle packed two 320 mm floating brake rotors with six-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 276 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel for excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2010 Honda VFR1200F Interceptor had installed a 1,237cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 170 hp at 10,000 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) of torque at 8,750 rpm.
