A superb performance naked motorcycle with the cowling removed from the VFR400R, a replica of the RVF400 works machine!
Honda released the VFR400R, the third generation V4 engine, in 1986.
The V4 engine was originally launched in March 1982 with the VF750 SABRE and VF750 MAGNA, which were aimed at luxury riders in contrast to the inline-four CB750/900 series, but the second-generation VF750F, which was released the following year, followed in December, and then the new 400cc version, the VF400F, debuted with a style that exposed the V4 engine and was fitted with a mini-cowl to highlight the new form of super sports motorcycle.
However, Honda fans and other people were more conscious of the long-standing track record of inline-four engines and were less interested in the smooth and orderly V-four.
But with the efficiency of straight-intake into the V-bank and the lean design with an engine width of only two cylinders, which gave it far superior maneuverability, Honda gradually brought out the overwhelming potential of the engine through development in racing activities.
The 400cc version also entered the RVF works machine in the All Japan F3 race, showing off its overwhelming power and agile cornering that cuts through corners.
And so the VFR400R was introduced as a replica of that very thing!
