In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VFR800 Interceptor, a sport-touring motorcycle of the sixth generation that debuted in 2002 as a successor to the Honda VFR800Fi Interceptor. The bike was known for its comfortable ergonomics and excellent handling.

The 2005 model year motorcycle came in the same shape and form as the previous one, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance characteristics without any modifications.

In addition, the bike came equipped with standard features, such as 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.

In the braking department, the bike 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.

As for performance, the 2005 Honda VFR800 Interceptor had its heartbeat set 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.
