Positioned in Honda's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Honda Interceptor DLX pairs a 782 cc (47.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 48.0 mm (2.8 x 1.9 inches) with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Interceptor DLX measures 249 kg (549 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,458 mm (57.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21.95-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
