The Honda VF750F is a street bike designed by Honda from 1983 to 1985. It has an 86 hp (64 kW), liquid-cooled, V4 engine which sports dual overhead cams (DOHC). The V4s were started a year before with the 1982 Honda Magna VF750C and Sabre VF750S[2] 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.[1]
New American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) super bike class regulations 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 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.
