Segment: Sport Touring
Production years: 1990, 1991
The 1991 Honda VFR750F was a classic sport-touring motorcycle in its third generation, introduced in 1990 as an updated version of the previous VFR750F model. The bike offered a perfect balance of comfort and performance and was considered one of the most significant motorcycles of its era.
The 1991 machine introduced Honda's innovative RC36 engine design that included a unique gear-driven camshaft system, which reduced engine noise and improved reliability. Also, the bike featured Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system that improved fuel efficiency and throttle response.
In addition, the bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a full fairing, an adjustable handlebar, a comfortable seat, a blacked-out exhaust system, a small windscreen, and a single-sided swingarm that offered a slimmer tail and more easy maintenance to the rear wheel.
The bike featured a perimeter frame design that used the engine as a stressed member of the chassis and housed a 41 mm Showa cartridge-type telescopic fork on the front and a Pro-Link preload-adjustable single shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.
For stopping power, the bike packed two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 256 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum braking performance.
As for power, the 1991 Honda VFR750F had at its core a 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 102 hp at 9,500 rpm and 77 Nm (56 lb-ft) of torque at 9,800 rpm.
