The Honda VFR800 was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by Honda since 1998, replacing the VFR750F. It shared the same engine configuration as the Honda VF and VFR series and was known as the Interceptor.
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 VFR800 Interceptor came with the same package as the previous one, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance characteristics without any changes.
The motorcycle packed 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.
In the performance department, 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.
For suspension, the motorcycle packed 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 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.
