The Honda VFR750F is a motorcycle manufactured by Japanese automobile manufacturer Honda from 1986 to 1997. The motorcycle is a cross between a sport bike and sport tourer, and is powered by a 750 cc (46 cu in) V4 engine developed from the earlier VF700/750F models. The VFR was announced in 1986, after an initial press viewing at the 1985 Bol d'Or.
The previous VF700/750F models revealed Honda's new devotion to the V4 engine format, but the engines had proved unreliable because of the infamous "chocolate cams". Honda, having suffered a dent in its proven reputation for reliability, felt that the successor should be over-engineered to restore that damaged reputation; the resulting VFR was an exceptional and highly -regarded motorcycle.[1]
An evolution of the VF700/750F models, the VFR redesign included significant new features:
greater power output (104hp up from 83hp)
lighter weight (claimed down 20kg),[2]
a lower center of gravity
a wider front tire
shorter wheelbase (15mm)
six gear ratios
gear-driven cams.
