Produces a stronger torque curve

A sophisticated electronic self-canceling turn signal system monitors speed, time and distance parameters for efficient function.4 pounds off the steel subframe of the previous Interceptor.The chassis incorporates a triple-box-section twin-spar perimeter-style aluminum main frame. The hollow 10-spoke wheels are fine-die cast; a world’s first for this method of wheel construction. From superb street-going performance to the championship-level racing connection, the Interceptor embodies the advanced technology that makes Honda a winner. The risers move the bars up 0. Like those developed for the VFR1200F, these saddlebags need no extra mounting hardware.Honda’s V-4 heritage resonates powerfully with avid Interceptor enthusiasts. This Interceptor’s top-quality fit, finish and feel are unmistakable, so very characteristic of Honda. The system interrupts fuel injection and ignition momentarily to facilitate rapid upshifts, with no need to disengage the clutch or change throttle openings. Dual cam-chain tensioners maintain optimal pressure and lubrication, ensuring quiet operation and long life. Engine tuning now places a strong emphasis on low-end and midrange power.VTEC TechnologyHonda’s exclusive VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system in the Interceptor combines the power characteristics of both two- and four-valve cylinder-head designs.0 pounds off the high-mounted dual-muffler system on the previous Interceptor.Another option marks a first for Honda: a Quick Shifter. As revs build it automatically switches to four valves per cylinder to increase fuel flow for more horsepower-all in a seamless transition. That includes the 2013 MotoGP championship earned by Honda’s RC213V-a cutting-edge high-tech racer that’s also V-4 powered. Famous for its distinctive V-4 power delivery, feel and sound, over the years it carved out a fiercely loyal following.An all-new single-sided aluminum swingarm similar in structure to the VFR1200F’s serves as an integral element in the Pro-Arm® rear suspension system.8 inches) for added adaptability to suit riders of varying heights. An Anti-Lock Braking System delivers extra stopping confidence in varying road and weather conditions. It’s perfectly at home with afternoon rides down twisty roads, weeklong trips or anything in between.255-inch back toward the rider. For extended travels, optional color-matched hard saddlebags and tail trunk that feature a very integrated design can also be added. A Traction Control System (TCS) monitors speed differentials between front and rear wheels to limit rear-wheel slippage during hard acceleration or during acceleration on low-traction surfaces.The engine runs on two valves per cylinder for more efficient, high-velocity breathing at lower engine speeds. Other modern design elements include aluminum-composite cylinder sleeves. A new meter package with centrally located tachometer and flanking LCD displays also offers new functions-a gear position indicator, fuel consumption readout, and grip-heater setting readout on the Deluxe model. These changes work in concert with new VTEC settings so the engine now jumps off to an impressively strong start and builds power up through the VTEC transition in linear fashion.What’s NewCompletely redesigned bodywork gives the Interceptor a whole new look while saving weight.53 inch and 0. When riders could own only a single motorcycle, thousands of enthusiasts insisted that one bike simply had to be a Honda Interceptor.0 to 31. A new single-muffler exhaust system is shorter and lighter, paring 11. Net result: stronger power delivery from low engine speeds up to redline. With front-mounted UPVC Union Suppliers radiators, the sleek bodywork is 1. They can be mounted or removed quickly and easily, without tools. To this, the 2014 Interceptor adds a new die-cast aluminum rear frame section, shaving 4. (See sidebar for more on how Honda’s exclusive VTEC technology adds to the broad power spread. It’s a direct link to Honda’s extensive championship-winning racetrack achievements. Rebound damping adjustability is added to the front fork, and a remote spring preload adjuster in the rear provides convenient access. To make it even better, Honda offers optional handlebar risers to create more upright ergonomics for long days in the saddle. A reduced-size starter helps cut weight and complements the engine’s compact dimensions.) When VTEC kicks in, the Interceptor spins up rapidly with plenty of authority at top revs-accompanied by that characteristic V-4 wail. A silent-type cam-chain drive eliminates mechanical gear noise.Tapping into a rich V-4 heritage of groundbreaking designs, the Interceptor delivers a riding experience that combines refinement, sophistication and high performance with that exciting V-4 pulse that makes it uniquely Honda. The Pro-Link® single-shock setup features a new damper with adjustable rebound damping and spring preload, while a new 43mm fork carries radially-mounted brakes with large 310mm dual discs and four-piston calipers..5 inches narrower than before, although the difference feels even greater when straddling the bike. Its big-time torque combines with sport-bike agility plus enviable comfort to create an unusually well-balanced bike with tremendously broad-ranging versatility. With the 2014 Interceptor, this system has been fine-tuned so power builds in a more linear fashion than ever before. These sleeves are high-pressure-formed from sintered-aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and graphite, and provide better wear resistance and superior heat dissipation than conventional sleeves.Interceptor DeluxeThe Interceptor Deluxe showcases additional forward-thinking technology.Additional OptionsBecause of its tremendous versatility, the Interceptor makes a great long-haul machine. LED taillight plus LED headlight with accent lights help give the Interceptor a distinctive look and excellent nighttime illumination.Credit new camshafts and PGM-FI fuel injection tuning, new porting and longer funnels in the air intake system for the VFR’s smooth power delivery. Seat height is also adjustable-from 31. With this system, a gearshift switch detects shifter actuation. Air guides added in the upper radiator area and on the engine’s left side channel dense, cool air toward the air intake for added power. New Engine TuningThe 782cc liquid-cooled 90-degree V-4 engine, notable for its slim profile, mounts as a stressed member in the frame. Nothing else came close to matching the all-around capabilities that have made the Interceptor a true legend in its own time.Now a new Interceptor extends this legacy of innovation, refinement and all-around ability.The Interceptor® stakes out a special standing in the world of motorcycles, one that uniquely defines what only Honda can deliver. The new exhaust system also helps lower the center of gravity for more responsive handling. The swingarm pivots in specially designed castings in the rear portion of the engine cases, not in the frame. As it was back in 1983, the 2014 Interceptor is one of the most capable machines ever to bear the Honda name. The slim feeling is aided by the seat, which narrows in front for an easier reach to the ground. It’s lighter and more compact than before, and an infusion of new technology and bright-think additions raise it to a higher realm. This produces a stronger torque curve.
