Honda RVF 400R
l The V-Four 400cc. It's a hot, hot bike! It looks just like RVF750 (RC45) except the headlights are smaller and shaped more like the Factory RVF Suzuka 8-hour Endurance bike. Fully adjustable upside down forks are featured even though the CBR400RR still sports conventional forks. The "claimed" max horse power and torque are reduced due to a notice from department of traffic in Japan*. Finally switched wheels from the RC30 like 17" front 18" rear to the now standard 17" at both ends. Like the VFR400R(NC30), the RVF400(NC35) is known for great handling and turning quicker than other 400s. It sports the latest Nissin 4 piston calipers (black colored). Graphics are just like the RC45 - mostly red and white with some purple and black on the fairing sides. Black number plates and wheels round out the look.
The third incarnation of the VFR400 (the NC30) is an RC30 lookalike, and has turned out to be arguably the best 400cc sports bike. It had the best 400cc engine and by far the best looks, and has been the biggest seller. It was 'upgraded' to an RVF (NC35) in 1994 , echoing the lines of the RC45. In truth, it had a styling makeover, upside-down forks and a ram-air system but was virtually the same machine with virtually identical power and performance figures. The little VFR has proved itself to be popular by virtue of its brilliance. The review says it all: You don't have to ride the
NC30 to know that it is right. Everything about it just looks
right. The scaled-down version of the RC30 is perfect in it
proportions and in its detail. The reduction in size makes it
neater still.
Asked whether the quality of engineering is worth £6,000, the answer would be yes. The build quality is nearly as good as the RC30. The VFR400 was featured in Bike magazine's secondhand buyer's guide, in the October 2001 issue. These are some of the things they said:
