The Interceptor VFR800F last appeared in the U.S. in 2009 now is returning to American shores for 2014. Honda even claims the new VFR800 Interceptor has more engine potency, a chassis with that special Honda blend of agility and comfort yet with lighter weight.

Honda’s VTEC technology continues to transition between two valves per cylinder at low rpm to four valves per cylinder at above 6800 rpm, producing stronger low-end and mid-range horsepower and torque while maintaining impressive high-rpm power.

The 2014 Honda Interceptor has more modern bodywork design with a front-mounted radiator, new digital instrument display, and a new Honda Pro-Arm rear suspension that features the single-sided swingarm that offers 4.7 inches of travel and a 43mm telescopic fork with 4.3 inches travel, 10-spoke wheels, and an adjustable seat height (31.0/31.8 inches).
