What Is It?

The Honda RVF400R NC35 is a small premium sports bike which is prized for being light, agile and somewhat rare. It's powered by a liquid cooled 399 cc V4 four stroke engine with gear driven cams, producing 59 bhp at 12,500 rpm and maximum torque at 10,000 rpm.

Features include:

• Aluminium twin spar frame with single sided swingarm
• Dual 269 mm discs up front with Nissin four piston calipers
• 220 mm disc at the rear with two piston caliper
• 41 mm Showa upside down fork
• 30 mm carbs
• 6 speed gearbox

The RVF replaced the VFR400R RC30 and is essentially a smaller version of the RVF750R RC45. Compared to the RC30 the forks are now upside down, the rear wheel is a smaller 17" design and the headlights are now a smaller fox eye design rather than the large round lights.

The 8-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/60 tyre at the front and 150/60 at the rear.

Colours: Red/white/blue, red/white/purple

It was a grey import in the UK.
