“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 was introduced in 2002, and it featured Honda’s first use of VTEC and linked antilock brakes. It soldiered on with few changes until 2009, and the beloved Interceptor would be gone from the US market for a long five years. But in 2014, Honda brought back the VFR800 with updates to the styling, brakes, and technology.
Updates included radial-mount Tokico calipers paired with 310mm discs up front, as well as Showa suspension on both ends.
For an additional $1,000, Honda packed the Interceptor with an additional ~$2,000 worth of goodies to create the Deluxe model. That included ABS, traction control, heated grips, adjustable suspension (remote preload adjustment on the shock), a center stand, and self-canceling turn signals.
This example (VIN: JH2RC7958FK100079) is a Deluxe model.
The odometer shows 589 miles.
The seller is the original owner – he purchased it from Honda Powersports of Maryland two years ago. As you can tell by the mileage, he doesn’t ride it enough, which is why he’s selling it. He had the oil and filter changed at 500 miles.
The seller states that there are no mechanical or cosmetic issues. The only non-stock part is a Delkevic slip-on exhaust.
The sale includes the original owner’s manual.
Currently located in Framingham, Massachusetts, this VFR is offered on a clean Massachusetts title.
