My VFR was the 1st ever motorbike i had ridden aand im glad to say it brought me into the world of motorbikes and it wont be my last!! Its got good looks, i very nice sound, especialy at high revs, handles good and accelerates like a dream. Anybody thinking about buying one of these, then i would definatly approve of it. its looks are also very good. for quite an old bike, it fits in to the world of modern motorbikes nicely and doesnt look out of place. Fuel consumption is also very good, going for miles, and miles, and miles without having to refuel. comfort is also good, and you can last long amounts of time on the bike without getting to much aching or cramps. ...

Advantages: Speed, comfort, handling, reliability, economy, class Disadvantages: None
How did Honda do it? Back in 1986 when the VFR750 was first introduced Honda was on the slippery slope to motorcycle oblivion.
They had proved to one and all that they couldn't make a reliable V4 engine. The early eighties V4 engined models, the VF500 and VF750, both blew up if ridden hard, and wore cam chains out at an alarming rate regardless Honda's in line four cylinder bikes were failing in comparison to faster rivals from Suzuki, and more reliable bikes from Kawasaki. The smaller bikes in the range were dying a death too, Yamaha and new Italian manufacturers taking over Honda's bread and butter market with aplomb.
In short the big H's motorcycle arm was in big trouble.
Then along came the VFR750 and everything changed. The first models were C registered 86 bikes, and featured a more powerful 100hp engine, 16" front ...

Acquired this aged and classy machine but a month ago. Its a VFRF of 1989 with braided hoses, 4 into one stainless can and scotoiler, with 39K. It's so well made it feels lots younger. Advantages, smooth power delivery, lovely hydraulic clutch, neutral safe handling and a beguilingly ordinairy image. Torquey engine piles on the power wherever its needed for effortless overtaking. It's rather quiet but with an appealing exhaust burble and the cam gear whine is like no other bike around. For interest and sheer class for its age its hard to beat. It gets interested glances, but since it moves like a stealth bomber these are of necessity somewhat short lived. Yet to get the pegs down really...buy one if you can! ...
