Honda VF1000

The Honda VF1000 is a range of motorcycles that Honda produced from 1984 to 1988, named after its V4 998 cc double overhead cam 16-valve engine. There were three main models, the VF1000F Interceptor, the VF1000R and the VF1000F2. The VF1000F was launched in the United States and Canada in March 1984 with a half fairing and lower cowl, Pro-Link rear suspension, braced forks, 16-inch front and 17-inch rear cast wheels and three dual-piston disc brakes, and it was discontinued in April 1985. In Europe it was sold as the FE with a reported 116 horsepower. The VF1000F evolved into the VF1000F2 from April 1985, with new side panels, grab rail and an 18-inch front wheel, sold in Europe, Australia, South Africa and Canada until August 1987. The VF1000R, introduced in Europe in March 1984, was a showcase of Honda's racing V4 technology.
