2015 HONDA INTERCEPTOR VFR800F QUICKSPIN P90 The new generation VFR800F returned with some major up- dates. The side-mounted radia- tors were moved to the front, it got updated styling and digital instruments, LED headlight, taillight and accent lighting, new single-side low-exit exhaust (replacing the dual under-the-seat exhausts), a new single-sided swingarm, aluminum subframe and new 10-spoke wheels. It retains its 782cc, 90-degree V-4 VTEC engine, but it took on some noteworthy revisions. It got new camshaft profiles, retuned exhaust, revised fuel mapping and tweaks to its VTEC system, where it runs on two valves per cylinder at low rpm and four valves per cyl- inder at higher engine speeds. In theory, this is supposed to boost both low-end torque and high-end performance.
