Honda Interceptor ABS

In the '80s, nobody could catch the AMA championship-winning VFR750. Today's Interceptor/Interceptor ABS, like its predecessors, boasts the most advanced technologies of its time, like an aluminum chassis and a fuel-injected V4—the goods that earn it best sportbike honors year after year. For '07, we're offering a paint scheme that lets all its racing DNA speak out—loud and clear.

These are the features:

• Revolutionary VTEC combines the power characteristics of both two- and four-valve cylinder-head designs. The engine runs on two valves per cylinder below 6400 rpm and then switches to four valves per cylinder, delivering significantly stronger low-end and mid-range torque, while maintaining the Interceptor®'s impressive high-rpm power delivery.

• The 2007 Interceptor meets the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards.
• Silent-type cam-chain drive eliminates mechanical gear noise. The system features a set of dual tensioners that maintain optimal pressure and lubrication for the camshaft chains, ensuring quiet operation and long life.
• Programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) uses four 12-hole injectors for finer fuel atomization, improved combustion efficiency, reduced emissions and increased power.
• Iridium-tip spark plugs are ignited by compact high-energy coil-on-plug spark plug caps that produce a strong, high-voltage spark.
• Unique NR-style center-up exhaust system incorporates two stainless steel mufflers tucked snugly under the Interceptor's tail section.
• Clutch features an offset outside friction plate for quiet operation when starting from a stop.
• Three-phase coil-spring damper in the transmission provides for smooth upshifts.
• Large-diameter 43mm Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) cartridge front fork provides enhanced handling under all riding conditions.
• Four brilliant multireflector headlights employ two centrally positioned H4 low/high beams positioned under two widely spaced H7 high beams for brilliant nighttime illumination.
• 5.8-gallon fuel capacity.

Honda VTX1800C

For riders who want street-rod styling and thundering torque, the VTX1800C offers a distinctive minimalist style.

Its features are:

• Show-stopping street-rod styling.
• Minimalist-designed front and rear steel fenders complement the VTX's street-rod look.
• Custom-designed wedge-shape mirrors.
• Bullet-style turn signals feature chrome visors, clear lenses and amber flasher bulbs.
• Flangeless 4.8-gallon fuel tank.
• Dragster-style seat boasts a low 27.6-inch seat height for flat-footed confidence during low-speed maneuvers.
• Semi swept handlebar provides a comfortable, upright riding position.
• Handsome, chromed two-into-one exhaust system produces a deep exhaust note.
• Wide, low 130/70R-18 radial front tire enhances styling and delivers superb handling.
• Aggressive 180/70R-16 radial rear tire puts the engine's awesome power to the ground and provides exceptional traction.
• Electronic control unit (ECU), closed-loop emissions-control system utilizes an air-injection system and three-way exhaust catalyzer to simultaneously reduce emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. California model exceeds CARB 2008 standards.
• Engine is a 1795cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin that hammers out immense power--106 bhp at 5000 rpm and 120 lb./ft. of torque at 3500 rpm.
