2009 Honda Interceptor VFR800 Specs News and Review

Hondas Interceptor-previously known as the VFR-is one of those enduring machines that continues to sell well. Since its ground-breaking debut in 1983 as a cutting-edge sportbike, the Interceptor has been steadily softened and rounded in subsequent generations from its original hard-core premise, while other Honda models took up the all-out performance corporate sword.
If any one streetbike showcased Hondas innovation and cutting-edge tech, it would have to be the Interceptor.
Sure Honda makes more supersport-focused machines, and we build those that lean more toward luxury touring. And thats the beauty of the Interceptor, how it strikes the perfect balance between the two by delivering powerful, sharp-handling performance and long-range comfort and capability. From its VTEC engine which optimizes power across the entire rpm range to its race-proven Pro-Link® rear suspension and Linked Braking System, the Interceptor is clearly the sum of its incredible, innovative parts.
Universally considered one of Hondas 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, and comfortable, all-day ergos, this is a machine thats equally at home on any paved surface.
Want to boost that razor-sharp, track-bred performance even higher? Then opt in for the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)-equipped edition, which, when working seamlessly together with the bikes Linked Braking System, delivers controlled stopping power in less than ideal conditions.

2011 Triumph Street Triple Specification

With the iconic twin headlamps, upside down forks and twin high-level exhaust, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for our legendary Triumph Speed Triple. Triumphs Street Triple has been one of the success stories of recent years, topping the sales charts and collecting numerous accolades along the way. Fusing the style and attitude of the Triumph Speed Triple with the agility of the Daytona 675, and delivering it all for a very competitive price, it wowed the industry when it arrived in 2008 and continues to dominate the middleweight naked sports bike class.

Designed alongside the Daytona 675 and sharing the same engine and frame, the Triumph Street Triple packs a powerful 106PS punch at 11,700rpm and delivers a peak 68Nm of torque. The Triumph Street Triples 675cc three-cylinder engine has been tuned for incredibly strong low-to-mid range performance and delivers an exhilarating ride that can be enjoyed by riders of all ages and experience.

The Triumph Street Triples narrow and lightweight aluminum frame contributes to a motorcycle that weighs just 189kg fully fuelled and ready to ride. Combined with the low dual seat and wide handlebars, the Street Triple is well balanced and easy to ride. Despite its entry level price, the Street Triple comes with a high level of equipment as standard.
