Honda Interceptor VF750F
The Honda VF750F was a street bike designed by Honda from 1983-1985. It had an , liquid-cooled, V4 engine which sported dual overhead cams (DOHC). The V4's were started a year before with the 1982 Honda Magna VF750C and Sabre VF750S but were adapted for the VF750F in 1983 by reducing the six speed transmission to a five speed because of the change from shaft drive to chain. This reduced the available space in the transmission thus changing to a five speed.〔
Because of new AMA super bike class regulations it required that four-cylinder bikes be downsized from 1000cc to 750cc, and the bikes had to be production based. This regulation created the first Japanese "Repli-Racer" the 1983 Honda Interceptor VF750F designed for Honda's American Motorcycle Association (AMA) VF750F super bike. Honda didn't cut corners when making the Interceptor, and made it as close to the super bike as possible without losing its street legality.
==New Technology==
The Honda Interceptor introduced technology to the street that was only seen on the race track. The bike debuted to the press in late 1982 and was available for sale to the public in 1983. The 1983 Honda Interceptor was given high praise by industry sources: "The handling is a treat, the power more than adequate and the appearance, the Interceptor's primary thrust, spells out its job: To boldly go where only race bikes have gone before.".〔''Cycle World'', December 1982, as quoted from ''The First Sport Bike? The 1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor''〕 “On tight, twisty mountain roads the Honda does everything you ask of it; flick it from side to side, up hills or down, with the brakes on or off, and it responds willingly, instantly and precisely.〔''Cycle'', May 1983, as quoted by ''The First Sport Bike? The 1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor''〕 The Interceptor's front bank was moved from the Magna's 23.5 degrees to 30 degrees to tuck the Comstar 16-inch front wheel closer to the engine which increased the handling of the bike's 58.9 inch wheelbase. The front and rear wheels were controlled by fully adjustable Showa suspension. The front suspension was equipped with 39mm forks with the TRAC (Torque Reactive Anti-dive Control) anti-dive system to stabilize the ride on the track and on the road. The rear suspension used a sand cast swing-arm. The engine had an boost from the Magna's V4 because of a newly designed air-box which forced cold air onto the head of the cylinders. Along with the air-box, the engine was liquid-cooled with two radiators. The Interceptor was equipped with a "Slipper Clutch" which made the clutch slip on hard braking to stop the rear tire from bouncing. This was the first time a street bike had ever had a slipper clutch. The engine was attached to the bike via a steel perimeter frame with a removable section so that the engine can be removed if needed.〔
