1994 Honda VFR750F NOTE: I should have made this clear when I originally wrote the ad and since a number of people have asked about the age of the replacement motor, I've attached a jpg of the repair order from 2004. The bike had 8824 miles and the replacement motor had 5800; I've experienced no problems with it in the ensuing ~7000 miles.This is one of the best all-around bikes ever made and has an attractive pricing due to its history. It is a one owner bike in excellent running condition with 16K miles. Thanks to my friends, it has unfortunately been the victim of a number of low-speed tip-overs, and as a result it has had many of the fairing pieces replaced (genuine Honda); the worst of it was a curb hit to the crankcase that necessitated a motor change (done by Stamford Motorsports more than 13 years ago) and a small handlebar dent in the tank. It is currently in perfect working order, with frame geometry checked by GMD Computrack (and if you are 200+lbs, the sag setting is correct). It has relatively new rubber (Avon Azaro), new brake pads and a new chain. It can be set up for either two-up riding or as a monoposto with included seat bodywork. Service manual (on CD), monoposto fairing, headlight flasher, tanks pads (removable) included. Comments from the press: Honda VFR750F - Best Used Bikes Best 750cc Streetbike, 1990-1997 Ten Best Awards. By Cycle World September 21, 2011 Basic specs: A 748cc, dohc V-Four with an aluminum frame and single-sided swingarm. Its 100 claimed horsepower propelled the 515-pound, fully faired (but saddlebag-less) sport-tourer to an 11.46-second quarter-mile time at 119.04 mph and a top speed of 148 mph. Why it won: You’re looking at the 1990 model of one of the finest all-around motorcycles ever built—a proclamation made by practically every motorcycling publication on the planet and further evidenced by the ’90-to-’97 iteration of the VFR winning a CW Ten Best award every year of its existence. As with all of this series of VFRs, the ’90-’97 750s were acclaimed for their exceptional versatility. As racetrack stars and backroad bombers, they were almost a match for the pure sportbikes of the era but much easier and more comfortable to ride. For everything else, including sport-touring, daily commuting, weekend excursions and just plain fun riding, they were virtually faultless. Toss in the soulful sound of their 180-degree V-Four engines and some of the most beautifully integrated styling ever seen, and it’s easy to understand why these bikes are modern legends. From the 1990 Ten Best Story: “The VFR isn’t the fastest in its displacement category, and it won’t set the quickest lap times around the nearest racecourse. What it will do, with its balance, poise and deftness, is give its rider the best all-around motorcycle in the business.” You can learn just about everything you wanted or needed to know about these landmark Honda V-Fours on the Internet by typing “Honda VFR750” or just “Honda VFR” into your browser.

The VFR750F was the first of the 750 class to have an aluminium twin spar frame, weighing just 14 kg. Second-generation models had non-adjustable 41 mm cartridge-style Showa front forks, coupled with a remotely adjustable (for pre-load) emulsion-type Showa shock absorber and the trademark single-sided swing arm. Honda soon upgraded the VFR750F's suspension to include pre-load adjustment on the forks, and damping adjustment on the shock. The bike's distinctive swing arm, derived from the ELF-designed race-bike Pro-Arm development work, has the advantage of allowing rear-wheel removal without the need to remove the drive chain or rear axle, and allows chain adjustment to be made very simply with no concerns of altering wheel alignment. 1994–1997 - VFR750FR/S/T/V (RC36) Bodywork revision evoked Honda NR design cues; mechanically very similar to its predecessor, but dozens of minor and weight-saving changes made the bike lighter and more responsive to ride. Last of the VFR750F models before replacement by the more touring oriented and softly suspended VFR800Fi in 1998. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
