The story
The Honda VF700, also known as the Interceptor 700, was a sport motorcycle produced by Honda from 1983 to 1987. It was part of the VF series and was introduced as a response to the US tariff on imported motorcycles over 700cc, which led Honda to create a 700cc version of the VF750F.
The VF700 Interceptor is distinguished by its V4 engine, which provided a unique blend of power and smoothness.
History
The VF700 was developed during a time when the US government imposed a tariff on motorcycles with engine displacements over 700cc to protect domestic manufacturers. Honda responded by reducing the displacement of the VF750F to create the VF700. Despite the smaller engine, the VF700 maintained much of the performance and styling of its larger sibling, making it a popular choice among sportbike enthusiasts. The VF700 featured a V4 engine, which was a hallmark of Honda's engineering prowess during the 1980s, offering a unique blend of power and smoothness.
On track
The Honda Interceptor series, including the VF700, was popular in amateur racing circuits due to its performance capabilities. While not a factory racing model, its design and engineering made it a competitive choice for privateers in various racing events.
