Honda Interceptor 700 Motorcycle - Street (1984-1987)

The Honda Interceptor 700, produced from 1984 to 1987, was a pioneering sport-touring motorcycle. It was specifically developed for the North American market to bypass a 45% import tariff on motorcycles exceeding 700cc. This led to a de-stroked version of the 750cc Interceptor engine. A significant evolution occurred during its production run. The 1984-1985 VF700F models featured a 698.9cc liquid-cooled V4 engine, initially with a 5-speed transmission, and were known for potential camshaft wear issues. In 1986, the model underwent a major redesign, transitioning to the VFR700F/F2 designation. This new generation introduced a completely revised engine with reliable gear-driven camshafts, a 180-degree crankshaft, and a standard 6-speed transmission, resolving earlier reliability concerns. The VFR700F2, introduced mid-1986, brought further refinements. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my Honda Interceptor 700?
