Honda VF750F Interceptor reviews

VF1000F: For its time it was a top performer and could go head to head with the 900 Ninja (Top Gun) bike. I was in the USAF stationed @ Hahn AB at the time of ownership and spent many miles on the AutoBahn and seeing the tach needle buried in the red and the bike never hickuped . Spend numerous laps on both tracks at the Nürburgring with the VF1000 and able to post 8:45 min, on Nordschleife with Metzler ME-33 /99. And a whole lot of history before racking up 35K km, before selling and returning to the states. It is an amazing machine and a V4. What configuration powerplant is in the HRC MotoGP since the series began? Yup a V4. Flyin Hahn, Show less

Well it was this forum that inspired me to get a VF750F and after just two days and some pretty full on country touring I must say I am thrilled with the new beast. Mine has just had cam chain fitted, new tensioners, new diaphrams on the carbs, new tyres and full service. She runs very well, has heaps of power, and can cruise along nicely. Thanks to the guy from Canada who helped me make my mind up. Show less

even with the problems --i love this bike ----always gets great comments from riders-----ive got 10000 miles on it and i am sure my performance probs are cam related (flat response-slow acceleration)---can anyone suggest an inexpensive solution Show less

I purchased an 84 know ing nothing of their history of cam problems.The CG feels nice & low.The sound & feel of the engine is very torquey.Wind- screen is to short, like most in it's class.It's a blast to ride.I can't believe Honda released an engine with this terrible tensioner,& poor top end oiling design!!They did re- design it thousands of bikes later. that's the pain you must endure to ride this infamous early V45.

I purchased a used vf750f Interceptor after spending a few years "Bike Free". I wanted a bike with a bit more performance than what I had in the past, but was on a really small budget. Well, this bike proved to fit the bill! I purchased one for $1000 Canadian dollars, and have had a really good experience both riding and repairing this model. Parts are easy to come by, if somewhat expensive, and the bike is easy to work on. This bike is billed as the first production superbike, and it's legacy lives on in every sport bike since it's time. The Interceptor is very fast, handles very well, but is able to take you on a long tour, if that's what you do! I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants to try a sportbike for the first time, but does not want to commit 10 - 15 g's. It also comes in 500 and 1000 cc models. Show less
