1993 Honda VFR750
Frame no. JH2RC3600PM300154

The VFR750F was introduced in 1986 as a sports bike to compete with Suzuki's GSX-R750 and Yamaha FZ750, but with the passage of time found itself reclassified as a 'sports tourer', a role in which it excelled. The new V4 engine was slotted into a state-of-the-art aluminum beam frame, replacing the VF750F's steel chassis. Early VFR750Rs featured a conventional two-sided swinging arm while later (1990 onwards) models have used a single-sided swinging arm, arguably mimicked by Ducati with their 916 in the mid-1990s. An evolution of the Interceptor, the VFR750 combined race-track standards of performance – the model was directly related to the 'race famous' RC30 and subsequent RC45 production road racers - with touring comfort. The single-sided cast aluminum rear fork and aluminum frame were certainly oozing with 'race-cred' in excess for street bike. With many revised versions of the VFR750, the 1993 4th generation is one of the most capable touring machines still today.

This bike was ridden and loved by its original owner and with a little recommissioning will be a great daily rider or distance touring vehicle. This bike, complete with Yoshimura exhaust, has some wear and tear consistent with its age and use. This bike comes 'as-is' and any buyer would be well advised to undertake the normal and necessary safety, recommissioning checks.
