The Honda VF500F (badged as "Interceptor" for the US and Canada market) is a 498 cc (30.4 cu in) displacement sport motorcycle manufactured from 1984 to 1986.

It was part of Honda's family of first generation V4 engine motorcycles (Interceptor - VF400F VF500F VF700F VF750F VF1000F).

The Honda VF500 engine was also used almost entirely unchanged in the Magna V30 standard motorcycle during the same years.

The VF500F utilized a skeleton square tubular steel frame with conventional forks and a rear mono-spring/damper, both adjustable in stiffness with air pressure.

It used a 16-inch front wheel with a 100/90-16 tire for reduced rotational inertia to make steering easier.
