The Interceptor is so touring friendly it allows for others to join in the fun.

The windshield doesn't provide much wind protection, but it does a better job that most sportbikes.
Through the years--with some melding and mellowing--it's also become a favorite all-purpose, sporty sport-touring bike, winning 'Bike of the Year' awards the world over and creating a cult following of dedicated owners.
The Interceptor plays the role of Tourer just fine, but it still posses sportbike hardware like a chain driven final drive.
Honda claims 472 pounds for the Interceptor, and 483 with ABS, but suspect it's a little heavier than that.
At $10,999 (with ABS), the VFR is a bit on the pricey side. While it is capable, there might be better options for the money.
Aesthetically, the VFR won't drop any jaws, but it's a still a decent looking bike after all these years.
Installing the black powdercoated bag mounts was relatively straightforward, but required the use of a high-powered drill to bore four holes.
Dual full-floating 296mm discs with LBS three-piston calipers take care of braking duties up front.
Long trips require hardbags as the trunk are isn't as spacious as other Sport Tourers.
The RC45 inspired rear wheel still looks trick after all these years.
The addition of hardbags allows riders to pack as many sundry items as necessary.
Capacious luggage offers up plenty of room for gear.
Stock pipes keep the noise to a minimum. After all who wants their ears ringing on long trips?
The VFR's orgins may be in racing, but it has become a staple of the Sport Touring crowd.
