The Honda VF750F V45 Interceptor aka RC15 (Honda's internal racing code) is a 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.[1]

The bike won the Castrol Six Hour race in 1983. The RC15 also won the AMA Superbike Championship for two years straight, 1984 and 1985 with Fred Merkel , who won also the following year 1986 aboard the RC24, Honda VFR750F, Interceptor's direct successor.
