Honda VFR 800 Interceptor ABS weight overview
This is firmly on the heavier side. The real penalty is not necessarily normal riding; it is low-speed work, awkward parking and moving the bike around manually. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Honda VFR 800 Interceptor ABS weight FAQ
How heavy is the Honda VFR 800 Interceptor ABS?
Listed dry weight is 481 lb (218.2 kg) to 550.9 lb (249.9 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
