The Interceptor tag was used across the 500, 750 and 1000 v-four bikes. Please study this screen cap from the film, the scene at 1:13.35. The "Interceptor" script on the side cover is blurry, but note the three "shark fin" style vents on the upper fairing. Compare it to the early VF1000F images on the linked site ^ and note the bigger bike had a single, larger vent in the upper fairing. Now compare to a 100% confirmed 1986 VF500F found online:
