HONDA RVF750R (RC45) (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda RVF750R was a fully-faired racing motorcycle manufactured by Honda for the Superbike World Championship. The model was known as the RC45 and came as a successor to the VFR750R motorcycle also called the RC30.

Like its predecessor, the RVF750R machine packed a liquid-cooled V4 DOHC powerplant with gear-driven camshafts and an electronic fuel injection system like the 1992 NR750 model. It was also equipped with a single-sided swingarm.

The Honda RVF750R was developed after the VFR750R started to show its age and was beaten by Ducati motorcycles. Honda redesigned the VFR750R model, which evolved into the RVF750R machine manufactured in 200 units, with 50 models imported into the American market.

A 41 mm USD adjustable fork was handling the front suspension, while a Pro-Link adjustable shock absorber took care of the rear end. The bike's suspension was coupled to a lightweight diamond-shaped twin-spar aluminum frame.

In the braking department, the motorcycle was fitted with four-piston calipers and two 310 mm discs stopping the front wheel. The rear wheel was operated by a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper.

A 749cc liquid-cooled V-4 engine with an electronically controlled fuel injection system brought the bike to life and delivered a power output of 119 hp with a peak force at 12,000 rpm and 75 Nm (56 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm.
