1985 Honda VF500 Interceptor

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The Honda VF500 Interceptor was Honda’s first middleweight sport bike for 10 years, and was the smallest of the Interceptors. Some might claim that it was also the best, thanks to absolutely incredible handling.

The 500cc engine was a mutt of Honda parts – the bottom end from the non-US VF400F combined with two top ends from the VT250. This got you 70 horsepower, enough for 128 miles per hour through the 6 speed transmission. Redline was at an impressive 12K, and the entire package weighed about 440 pounds when ready to roll.

A bike that looks this good, handles this well, has such a wonderful engine and costs no more than its competitors is more than just a “nice bike.” It’s damn near irresistible. – Cycle World, 1984
