“In a market segment characterized by extremes, Honda’s VFR has always trod the middle ground––never the fastest, or the lightest, or the quickest way around a racetrack, but always a standout, biased more toward balance than bravado, a sportbike for the real world.” That’s how Motorcyclist magazine introduces Honda’s legendary Interceptor in this timeline of the model.
The sixth generation of the VFR had a lengthy run and it introduced some significant changes: linked brakes, optional ABS, optional hard luggage, and VTEC, Honda’s variable valve timing technology that opens up extra valves at higher RPMs.
This example is VIN: JH2RC46E78M000095. The seller acquired the bike 10 years ago from Motorcycle Factory Inc. in Woodbridge, Virginia. He states that, “I am the second owner. I purchased the bike with under 2,000 miles on it in 2014. It’s been awesome and reliable for the last 10 years. It’s set up for touring, but admittedly, I’m not doing much touring, which is the main reason I’m selling it.”
During his ownership, the seller has covered 15,402 miles. The odometer shows 17,363 miles.
Maintenance:
The seller states that he has had “all scheduled maintenance except for the 16,000-mile valve adjustment.” He has supplied the following invoices:
