As cool and convenient the enhancements of the 2001 VFR800 were, there still was one thing to make the bike better: ABS. Honda equipped the Interceptor with anti-locking brakes to add even more versatility to the already compliant linked-braking system (LBS).
Riders can now stop in a shorter distance in emergency situations, while braking on difficult, slippery surfaces is safer, with the added stability provides by the ABS. As for the rest, the VFR800A Interceptor ABS retains all the awesome character of the base model.

Some riders just want to know their bikes are equipped with the best safety systems the manufacturer can deliver, and that's why Honda loaded the 2003 VFR800 with anti-locking brakes. Together with the existing linked brakes system, the bike now offers increased safety and stability.
The stopping distance is now shorter and braking hard on slippery surfaces, safer. Add in the traditional versatility of the VFR800 and Honda's acclaimed reliability and you've got a bike that's both compliant and safe.
