Honda also developed a limited edition VFR, the Honda RC30, as a homologation racing platform. This motorcycle achieved some racing success, but the introduction of very light inline-four motorcycles by competing firms led Honda to downgrade its racing plans. Honda's VF model lineup had engine capacities ranging from 400 cc to 1,000 cc.
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.
The Honda VF750F V45 Interceptor aka RC15 (Honda's internal racing code) is a technologically advanced sports motorcycle produced by Honda from 1983 to 1985. Using a revised engine from the Sabre/Magna with chain drive and a five-speed gearbox the half-faired motorcycle was introduced with an 86-horsepower liquid-cooled double overhead cam (DOHC) V4 four-stroke engine in a steel perimeter frame.

The gear drive for the cams is located between the cylinders. [4] Lubrication is wet sump with a chain-driven, dual-rotor oil pump and an oil cooler.
