Honda VFR750 F – MY MOTORCYCLE

The Honda VFR 750 F sports-touring motorcycle appeared in 1986 and existed until 1997.

A feature of the motorcycle was a 4-cylinder V-shaped liquid-cooled engine, producing from 98 to 104 hp. (depending on the year of manufacture) power and 76.5 Nm of torque. The motor was based on the VF700 engine, which had a rather low reputation for being unreliable. Honda engineers did a great job to facilitate and improve this engine, the result was a motor that became not only more productive, but also had a huge resource of work. Instead of a timing chain, gears were used.

The Honda VFR 750 has won numerous awards and has been named the best sports bike in the 750cc class for 6 consecutive years. The bike’s reliability, endurance and performance were so outstanding at the time that the Honda VFR 750 was often used as a police bike – even a special version was developed for this – the Honda VFR750P.
The Honda VFR 750 motorcycle existed until 1997, after which it was successfully replaced by an updated injection model – the Honda VFR800F.
