For 1984 the VF750F carried on with the same steel-framed, chain-drive chassis and 16-inch front wheel, mainly outside America where the 700 cc version took over. The period was clouded by camshaft and cam-chain tensioner wear problems on the early V-fours, which hurt the Interceptor's reputation and led Honda to replace it with the gear-driven-cam VFR750F within two years.
