HONDA VFR800 Interceptor (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VFR800 was a sport-touring motorcycle produced by Honda in 1998, replacing the VFR750F. It shared the same engine configuration as the Honda VF and VFR series and was known as the Interceptor.

Honda released the 2009 Honda VFR800 Interceptor, a motorcycle that debuted in 2002 as part of the sixth generation. Between 2002 and 2013, the bike received several revisions that enhanced its overall capabilities.

After the 2009 model year, the VFR800 model was dropped from production in the United States when Honda introduced the larger VFR1200. The larger model was not a direct replacement for the smaller one, but the 2014 VFR800F was.

The 2009 model year was offered in the same shape and form as the previous one, packing the same visual, technical, and performance characteristics without any modifications whatsoever.

The bike was made around a twin-spar aluminum frame that housed the suspension system. The suspension system comprised a 43 mm adjustable HMAS cartridge-type fork on the front and a Pro-Arm single-sided swingarm with a gas-charged adjustable shock absorber on the rear.

Regarding power, the 2009 Honda VFR800 Interceptor had installed a 781cc four-stroke V-4 liquid-cooled engine mounted at its core, delivering an output power of 110 hp at 10,500 rpm and 82 Nm (61 lb-ft) of torque at 8,500 rpm.
