I had an '83. It was called a V45 Interceptor, and it was a 750. It looked just like the one in 71T's picture.
I put Vance & Hines pipes on it, and that baby would wail! You could hear me coming from 2 miles away. She would do about 135 at wot with stock gearing.
The only trouble I had was an intermittent starter switch. I learned to park it so that I could "bump" start it.
The V configuration was torquey, responsive, and narrow, compared to the inline CB750. My brother, and a friend both had those, and I could run away from them.
At the time, the front wheel was considered small, but it made it steer better on a windy road.
I think they were reduced to 700 cc for a few years. There was a tariff on imported bikes over 700 cc to help Harley Davidson compete in the market.
