Honda Interceptor

Universally considered one of Honda’s most illustrious race-bred sportbikes, the Interceptor® is also arguably one of the best all-around streetbikes ever made. Featuring a fuel-injected, VTEC-equipped V-4, aluminum chassis, comfortable, all-day ergos and an all-new color scheme for ’08, this is a machine, though born of the track, whose razor-sharp performance is equally at home on any paved surface.
