HONDA RVF Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & 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.

The Honda RVF400R was a sports bike manufactured by Honda from 1994 to 1996, also known as the NC35, powered by a Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) V4 four-stroke engine. The RVF400R was also known for its excellent handling capabilities.

Two models were released, the RVF400RR in 1994 and RVF400RT in 1996, which differed only in the color department. The RVF400RT was painted in Sparkling Red with Ross and White with Uranus Purple colors, and the RVF400RR had Sparkling Red with Ross and White with an Atessa Blue color scheme.

The Honda RVF400R was a successor to Honda VFR400R, which was interrupted in 1993. The two bikes were identical at first glance, but the RVF400R was utterly different, with similar-looking components but totally different.

Compared to the VFR400R, the RVF400R had less peak power due to Japanese regulations and was officially sold only for the domestic market. In 1996, the production of the RVF400R was interrupted, while the leftover stock was sold until 2001.

A 41 mm inverted telescopic fork handling the front suspension was fitted on a twin-spar aluminum frame. In contrast, the rear end was driven by a single shock absorber, offering excellent handling capabilities.

As for braking performance, the RVF400R was fitted with a seven-spoke cast aluminum wheel, a four-piston caliper, and a 296 mm disc on the front and an eight-spoke wheel with a dual-piston caliper and a single disc on the rear.
