Honda VFR750F

The VFR750F is a motorcycles manufactured by Honda from 1986 to 1997. Conceived as a sports tourer it is powered by a 750 cc (46 cu in) V4 engine developed from the earlier VF750F 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. Compared to its VF750F predecessor, the VFR has significant improvements: greater power output (104 hp up from 83 hp) lighter weight (20 kg less), a lower center of gravity a wider front tire shorter wheelbase (15mm) six gear ratios gear-driven cams.
