2008 Honda Interceptor This is an incredible bike- almost like two bikes in one. Stay below 7k and it's a quiet, fuel efficient, touring bike. From 7k to 12k she's a fire-breathing sport bike as the VTEC engine comes to life and the engine swaps from 2valves/ cyl to 4 valves/ cyl. Very fun, comfortable and great handling bike. The tires were installed last week and have roughly 30 miles. Same with the oil. She will have a full tank of premium for the buyer so just hop on and ride- no need to spend any money on this bike, They are also known to go for MANY miles so at 5400 she's just broken in. The paint is original and the hard bag mounts are included. Reserve is below average wholesale, title is clean and in hand. As a sport-touring mount Honda's VFR is a solid player that can give most liter sportbikes a run for their money (Just watch Freddie Spencer-who uses a VFR as a teaching platform-put one through its paces at his riding school). The Interceptor has a rich racing pedigree that Honda continues to evolve, albeit very incrementally. The VFR has merely been refined over the past three years with no dramatic changes. That said, it remains a formidable machine that provides riders desiring performance and comfort with a stylish, practical, and thoroughly enjoyable alternative. The Interceptor is equipped with Honda's 781cc liquid-cooled 90-degree V-TEC engine. The V-4 powerplant has 4-valves per cylinder, but only operates on two-valves (one intake, one exhaust) per cylinder at low rpm, then transitions to operating on all 4-valves at 6500 rpm and above. The theory and practicality behind the V-TEC engine is to imbue the Interceptor with the benefits of increased torque and fuel economy of a 2-valve engine at lower revs, with the more efficient flow and top-end power a 4-valve head affords at higher revs. The engineering has an F-1 type feel to it, augmented by a powerfully sweet growl that really sings on top end.
