Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who want a sport machine with a slightly more forgiving, versatile edge.
PurposeIt's built as a sport-touring V4 that blends spirited canyon and highway performance with everyday usability.
Rider FitThe moderate seat height and reasonably upright-leaning sport riding position make it manageable for most rider sizes without being as extreme as a pure supersport.
CharacterThe VFR800F is prized for its smooth, characterful V4 powerband, precise handling, and shaft-free single-sided swingarm styling that mixes engineering flair with real-world practicality.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, budget simplicity, or a full-blown long-distance touring rig with wind protection and luggage focus.

2011 Honda Interceptor Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Honda Interceptor, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
