2008 Honda VFR Interceptor Photo Gallery
Motorcycle USA takes the 2008 Honda VFR Interceptor for a spin on the California backroads. Check out the review in the
2008 Honda VFR Interceptor First Ride
.
The '08 Interceptor features a fuel-injected, VTEC V-4 engine, an aluminum chassis, ABS and an all-new color scheme.
A hot cup of coffee in the quaint village of Ojai after a good ride add up to the start of a perfect day.
The rear end of the 2008 VFR features a Pro Arm single-sided swingarm with a Pro-Link single HMAS gas-charged shock with 7-position spring-preload and rebound-damping adjustability.
The Interceptor is the type of bike that looks smokin' hot even when it's sitting still.
The twisting roads of Malibu Canyon and beyond to Ojai were perfect for showcasing the 08 VFR's handling.
Ergos on the 2008 VFR Interceptor are more relaxed than a literbike's racing crouch.
Its 5.8-gallon tank gives the '08 Interceptor good range. Throw on the optional hard saddlebags and you've got a solid sport-touring package.
While the roots of the Interceptor are undeniably intertwined with racing, the bike is heavier and ergos are slightly more relaxed than a pure-bred sportbike.
The angular front fairing of the 08 Interceptor is sharp and aggressive and capable of cutting through the wind.
The 2008 Honda Interceptor may not have undergone any major changes, but it still carries all the trademark features from its racing roots.
With a 25.3-degree rake and a 57.4-inch wheelbase, the '08 Interceptor is more than up to the task of canyon carving.
The 08 VFR has dual 296mm rotors with 3-piston calipers on the front that are linked to the back.
The front windscreen is small but does an adequate job of deflecting some of the windblast when you tuck in.
