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. ''[[Cycle World]]'' Magazine named it motorcycle of the year and had a project Interceptor VF750F that they chromed and put on the cover. Honda also produced the [[Honda VF700F|VF700F]] to meet tariff laws in place by some states. This bike was replaced by the [[Honda VFR750]] in 1986. | 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.

Apparently they made a 1985 VF750F even though it's not listed in the Honda Model Identification guide. | Apparently they made a 1985 VF750F even though it's not listed in the Honda Model Identification guide. | ||
