The VF700F was the US-market 'tariff buster' version of the Interceptor, sharing the 750's chassis but with a shorter stroke that brought capacity to 699 cc and dodged the 1983 tariff on heavyweight imports. It cost noticeably less than the 750 and, thanks to its gearing and cam timing, pulled harder in roll-on tests at cruising speeds even though it lost a little at the top end. Handling was effectively the same as the 750F's.
