The Honda VFR800 Interceptor ABS was a sixth-generation sport-touring machine manufactured by Honda from 2002 to 2013. it was known for its comfortable ergonomics and excellent handling.
The 2006 ABS model featured the same technical and visual modifications as the base 2006 version, such as changes to the tachometer face from black to white, a remapped Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that offered a smoother transmission into VTEC, clear turn signal lenses, and changes to the electrical wiring that fixed issues with the charging system.
In addition, the 2006 ABS model, as its name suggests, received an ABS braking system that enhanced safety and handling performance. It also came in two new colors: Pearl White and Pearl Black.
The bike had the same standard features as the previous model, including six-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a single-sided swingarm, an adjustable windscreen for improved wind protection, a comfortable seat with an upright riding position, and dual headlights.
The lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame housed a 41 mm HMAS preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an HMAS preload-adjustable gas-charged shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the model packed two 296 mm discs with three-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 256 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.
The 2006 Honda VFR800A Interceptor ABS was powered by a 782cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 110 hp at 10,500 rpm and 82 Nm (61 lb-ft) of torque at 8,500 rpm.
