Honda Interceptor (VF or VFR models) have a dedicated web community, VFRDiscussion.com. One of the first questions I had about my 2002 (aka “6th Generation VFR”) was regarding its engine temperature. Running at over 200 degrees F threw up a red flag for me. I’ve never ridden a bike that gives a precise digital readout of the engine temperature, and seeing temperatures above the boiling point of water freaked me out. I found the VFRD board and posed this very question to the uber-experienced membership; the reply was, to paraphrase, that the bike normally gets up to 220 especially in stop-and-go surface street traffic, and it’s normal. As long as the fan comes on at about 220, no worries.

Currently, there’s a discussion about the next iteration of Interceptor… and if pictures are in circulation…
