HONDA VFR800Fi Interceptor (2001-2002) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VFR800, also known as the Interceptor, was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by Honda since 1998 as the successor to the Honda VFR750F. It shared the same engine configuration with the Honda VF and VFR series.

In 2000, the maker updated the model, fitting it with a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor, and an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system. It also featured a temperature-actuated fast idle system without a choke lever and updated mirrors. The models delivered in the European market featured the Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) to combat theft.

In 2001, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda VFR800Fi Interceptor, the final model in the fifth generation. The bike came in the same shape and form as the previous one without any modifications.

It was dressed in a full fairing with a large headlight unit, a windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a single exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the right-hand side, and a five-spoke rear and six-spoke front alloy wheel.

In terms of power, the 2001 Honda VFR800Fi Interceptor had installed a 782cc four-stroke V4 liquid-cooled engine underneath its full fairing, fed by a fuel injection system. It delivered 110 hp at 9,600 rpm and 82 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
