HONDA VFR800 Interceptor (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VFR800 Interceptor, part of the sixth generation, was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 2002 to 2013. It was known for its comfortable ergonomics and excellent handling.

In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VFR800 Interceptor, a model that benefited from some upgrades such as minor visual and technical modifications.

The 2006 machine featured 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 bike came equipped from the factory with standard fittings, 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.

The bike was built on a twin-spar aluminum frame with a 41 mm HMAS preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an HMAS preload-adjustable gas-charged shock on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

For braking performance, 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 the power figures, the 2006 Honda VFR800 Interceptor's muscles were provided 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.
