First introduced in 1983 the Interceptor VF750F was a model which had no direct competitor, although it was derived from the [[Honda VF750S|VF750S Sabre]] (introduced a year earlier) it radically departed from the tradition of simply putting different fairings and handlebars on the sport models. It is often called the Interceptor V45, as in 45 cubic inches. Honda drove the new standard of separating sport and standard models.
