When I think motorcycles, I think Honda (and Triumph, Ducati, Royal Enfield..) but really, I think Honda, and in particular VFR. That was the bike I idolized as a kid, because it was my dads bike. Technically he had a few over the years, and sprinkled in some CBRs here and there. But a love for gear driven cams, V4 power, and Staintune Exhaust meant the Interceptor reigned supreme. He even liked the fugly era. Good news for you, this particular VFR is the first iteration post ugly-era, with a strong return to form- big power, slender package, Honda reliability, and great handling. While much has changed over the course of the VFRs lineage, the true-to-form brilliant handling sport-touring machine with a punchy middleweight engine remains. This Interceptor also comes with color-matched side panniers and a top case, and brand new Michelin rubber making this perfect roadtrip sport-touring bike a turn-key must-have. With its roots in racing, the VFR has quite a lot of pep in its step. It won’t outperform a superbike on the track, but your superbike won’t be very comfortable on your commute or weekend trip, whereas this bike gives you comfort, safety (ABS and TC), and performance.
