2014 Honda Interceptor Key Features:

V-4 Engine

An Interceptor hallmark since the beginning, the V-4 in Honda latest model does what Honda V-4s have always done best: provide tons of low-end torque with plenty of high-revving power.

Adjustable Seat Height

A new feature this year, the Interceptor’s seat adjusts from 31.8 inches to 31.0 inches to help custom-tailor the cockpit to a wider range of riders.

Traction Control

Available on the new Interceptor Deluxe, traction control pairs with Honda Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) to give you more confident riding under challenging conditions.

2014 Honda Interceptor Features and Benefits:

A Showcase Of Honda Best Technology

The Interceptor is a groundbreaking machine and always has been. The latest 2014 version offers a stunning number of new features like LED headlights, available traction control and Honda Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). And the V-4 VTEC engine runs on two valves per cylinder at low engine speeds and four valves per cylinder at higher revs. All are designed to give you one of the most capable machines Honda has ever built.

LED Headlight

Clear, crisp, compact and bright: the latest LED technology lets the Interceptor’s headlight and unique accent lights do more than just light up the night—it gives the bike a strong styling element. The tail light and turn signals are also brilliant, long-lasting LEDs.

New Digital Instruments

The Interceptor’s instruments include a digital speedometer, analog tachometer, gear-position indicator, miles-per-gallon readout, ambient air temperature gauge and a clock.

Front-Mounted Radiator

By moving the radiators from the fairing sides to in front of the engine, Honda has slimmed down the bike’s middle cowl area, giving it a more sleek style and reducing the width by 1.5 inches.

Anti-Lock Braking System

Unfamiliar roads, uneven road surfaces and compromised traction—Anti-Lock Brakes are a great complement to the Interceptor’s triple-disc-brake system (Deluxe Model).

Radial-Mount Front Brakes

The Interceptor uses radial-mounted monobloc front-brake calipers. This construction makes the caliper stiffer, and that means you get better brake feel for more linear, powerful stopping.

Grip Heater

Cold mornings and cold gloves? Just dial up the Interceptor’s grip heaters and your hands will be happy (Deluxe Model).

Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis

The foundation for the Interceptor’s stellar, tack-sharp handling, the twin-spar all-aluminum design is light and strong.

VTEC Valve Train

Running on two valves per cylinder at low RPM and four valves per cylinder at higher engine speeds, the new Interceptor has tons of torque down low and plenty of horsepower up top—it’s like having two engines in one.

V-4 Engine

Drawing on 30 years of V-4 technology and racing success, Honda designers gave the Interceptor one of Honda most advanced streetbike engines ever: a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 782cc V-4 brimming with low-end torque.

Revised Fuel-Injection Settings

Along with the Interceptor’s revised VTEC engine settings, you get increased torque feel—exactly what you want in a V-4.

Centerstand

Servicing your bike and parking it level—especially with saddlebags—is a snap with this great Interceptor feature (Deluxe Model).

Adjustable Seat Height

Adjustable from 31.8 inches to 31.0 inches, the new Interceptor’s seat fits a wider variety of riders.

New Single-Sided Swingarm

Honda’s Pro Arm single-sided swingarm is a proven design, and the new Interceptor’s swingarm is lighter and mounts the chain and brake disc on one side for easier wheel servicing and tire changes. It looks better too!

New Muffler

Streamlined and compact, the new muffler offers a significant weight reduction from previous designs.

Traction Control

The new Interceptor benefits from Honda's Traction Control system. If the system believes wheel-spin is imminent, limits rear wheel slippage during hard acceleration or during acceleration on low traction surfaces. (Deluxe Model).

Self-Canceling Turn Signals

Smart bikes have smart features. The Interceptor is equipped with turn signals that automatically self-cancel after they detect that you’ve completed a turn or a lane change. (Deluxe Model).

LED Tail Light

Bright, clear and long-lasting, an LED tail light is the only way to go with a bike as modern as the new Interceptor.
