Overview
Presenting the World's Best Streetbike.
It's easy to marvel at the Interceptor's high-tech parts manifest and its state-of-the-art componentry, including a fuel-injected, VTEC-equipped V-4, the sophisticated twin-spar all-aluminum chassis design, and exclusive Combined Braking System (with an optional Anti-lock Braking System) for starters. It's even more awe-inspiring to ride one. Just ask the industry experts, whose magazines have crowned it Best in Class 11 times. No surprise really, considering this machine's dedication to innovation and refinement, combining legendary V-4 sporting performance with comfortable, all-day ergonomics and long-range features. If you're looking for a bike that puts the "sport" in sport-touring, look no further than the Interceptor.
