Honda VFR800A - a pavement princess
Description
ABS
VTEC
No accidents, excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition
Have all parts & labour receipts since new
COSMETIC ----------------------------------------------
Custom two colour paint with pearl to give depth and shimmer
Polished & sealed wheels with black centre for a “two-piece” look. Look their best when spinning as all that’s visible is the outer polished edge.
Rear wheel has the “centre-lock” look. (The four bolts are hidden)
Replaced all beige-yellow lit instrumentation (think: vintage) with modern clean looking white. (pictured)
Tinted windscreen
Replaced yellow reflector lights with smokey-clears
COMFORT ----------------------------------------------
OEM hard panniers & top box, w shaved emblems & reflectors. Was a $1700 option but now it can be difficult to find for sale. Can fit a helmet in each one. Plenty of room for two ppl.
Sargent Seat, “carbon-fibre” look. Extends comfort time and looks much better than stock. Comes with an OEM passenger cowl to give a single seat look.
Double-bubble windscreen for less highway wind buffeting.
Custom mirror extenders. OEM mirror views get blocked by your shoulders
PERFORMANCE ----------------------------------------------
Yamaha R1 titanium exhaust. The OEM exhaust is extremely heavy (esp because it’s centre of mass is high on the bike) and muffles that amazing V-4 engine. The oval low profile cosmetically lightens the bike and shows off the single-side swingarm better. Cost $1800 in labour alone
Gen 5 (98-01) headers, swapped to lose the cat and get more of that V-4 sound. Powder coated silver up front and black at black. (Headers are ugly when they rust)
Power Commander, PC3, fuel module with custom dyno-tuned map. Felt like a new engine after this.
-1T Front sprocket for more snappy torque out of the corners (stock 43T in rear)
Rick’s Motorsports stator and reg-rec along with a custom VFRness 8 gauge harness. Honda totally crapped the bed on the 6th gen charging system. The recall did very little. Almost all 6th Gen suffer until you upgrade the $500 in just parts. The OEM system can barely handle it’s own life support, far less power heated vests & grips. This is a touring bike meant to take you to the centre of middle of nowhere -- where it sucks to get stranded. Read the forums.
RK Gold chain. Lasts forever on a street bike
Michelin Pilot Road 2’s with dual compound. Durable centre strip with sticky sides
K&N air filter and it’s been de-snorked (modified air intake for more air and sounds great)
HIDs low beam. A must when you’re in the middle of nowhere at night
Stebel air horn. You’ve always wanted one...right?
R&G frame sliders
Flush mount voltage gauge
NOTES ----------------------------------------------
I only toured on this Interceptor for a couple of years after I bought it near new. This is my first bike and I deeply love it but I’ve moved on. I don’t want to sell it, but it should be rev’d thru the canyons in the middle of nowhere by someone.
Bike is located in Surrey
Passenger back rest not included
No test pilots. You’ll need a deposit to ride.
