DESCRIPTION

• For 2002, Honda recreated the Interceptor bit by bit, incorporating improvements into every facet while retaining the essential foundations. As a result, the VTEC(TM)-equipped Interceptor is now a markedly advanced, new-generation sport bike, and arguably the sharpest-edged street-going iteration yet. At the same time, Honda's engineers also reconfigured the Interceptor so it could accept a set of Honda-designed accessories--including hard saddlebags--to create a top-rank sport bike with true cross-country abilities.
