The Honda RVF750R, also known as the RC45, was a fully faired racing machine created by the Japanese manufacturer for the Superbike World Championship and as a successor to the VFR750R, also known as the RC30.
Like the VFR750R, the RVF750R model packed a V4 DOHC liquid-cooled engine with gear-driven cams and a single-sided swingarm, but also an electronic fuel injection system similar to the one used on the 1992 NR750 model.
After the RC30 showed its age and was beaten by Ducati models, Honda redesigned the RC30 with more technology from the RVF endurance racer and launched the RC45 machine. The RVF750R was made in only 200 units worldwide, with 50 models imported into the United States.
The 1994 Honda RVF750R machine had a lightweight diamond twin-spar aluminum frame with a 41 mm USD adjustable fork handling the bike's front suspension and a Pro-Link adjustable shock absorber operating the rear suspension.
For braking purposes, the bike packed four-piston calipers with two 310 mm discs mounted on the front wheel and a dual-piston caliper with a 220 mm disc on the rear wheel for strong stopping power.
The bike was fitted with a 749cc V-four liquid-cooled engine handled by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system, delivering 119 hp at 12.000 rpm and 75 Nm (56 lb-ft) of torque at 10,000 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was sent to the rear wheel thanks to a six-speed manual transmission that pushed the bike to a top speed of 259 kph (161 mph).
