Honda’s VFR 750 F is one of the greatest all rounders ever built, Massively over engineered, characterful, engaging to ride, beautifully put together and able to turn its wheels to almost every discipline from commuting and touring to trackdays and two up, the VFR enduring appeal sees many owners unwilling to swap their V4 for anything else. The 1994 RC36 2 was the fourth and final incarnation of the VFR 750 F, which was superseded in 98 by the fuel injected VFR 800, a bike many 750 owners feel isn’t as good as the machine it replaced. Right from its original launch in 1986 the VFR 750 F was always an all rounder with sporting aspirations. The first RC36 model, the 19901993 FL or FP pushed further into sports touring territory with a plusher ride and better weather protection, but the second generation RC36 our focus of this buyers guide proved leaner, more powerful, more agile and easier to hustle without losing its do it all DNA. The VFR engine was massively over engineered from its inception, It had to be after the reputation tarnishing issues with Honda’s first 750 V4s, the VF 750 S and F. Indeed the first VFR was make or break for Honda’s entire V4 project, Had it proved problematic the whole configuration would have sunk without trace, so the first RC24 had to be perfect. Honda threw the proverbial kitchen sink at the bike and the engine in particular, Legend has it that Honda lost money on every VFR sold because the R&D and production costs were so high. The basic 90°, DOHC, 16V V4 layout remained true throughout the VFR’s production run, right down its 70 x 48,6 milimeters bore and stroke producing 748cc. The unit’s purring sophistication comes in part from gear driven cams used to prevent a rerun of previous camchain tensioner problems, You can hear the gears wiring at low revs. Of course there are punchier, more powerful sports tourers on the market today, but the VFR still makes a surprisingly effective and rapid road tool in the right hands. And in terms of reliability there’s a good reason why used VFR engines are so damn cheap, nobody needs then because they never go pop thanks to all that over engineering.
