1994 Honda VFR750F
Registration no. L262 SPX
Frame no. RC36-2402224
Engine no. unable to locate

Honda had an awful lot riding on the VFR750F when it arrived in 1986, not the least of which was having to live down the preceding VF750F's appetite for camshafts and cylinder heads... And to emphasise the effort that had been expended on sorting out the V4 engine, every early VFR750F carried the legend 'GEAR DRIVEN CAMS' on the fairing. The VFR750F had been introduced 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 engine was slotted into a state-of-the-art aluminium beam frame, replacing the VF750F's steel chassis, while the latter's shaft drive was dropped in favour of a lighter and more efficient chain. Early VFR750F's featured a conventional two-sided swinging arm, while later (1990 onwards) models used a single-sided swinging arm of the type pioneered on the Elf-Honda GP and Endurance racers.

First registered on 17th February 1994, this VR750F comes with a V5C document noting one former keeper. No previous history is known. The recorded mileage at time of last MoT in July 2019 was 30,865 miles and is now 32,058 miles. Last run in 2024, the machine will nevertheless require recommissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Additional paperwork includes an owner's manual; sundry invoices; and a warranty and service booklet.
