My nieces partner purchased this recently, I would like to think that I had something to do with it but I don’t think that’s the case. The bike is in excellent condition and seems to run well. I haven’t been offered a ride yet ☹️4F00EF8A-82A3-4E16-9D3F-A9F7E5A7BDE7.thumb.jpeg.26c40b34bca219a9150e3a788de116d5.jpeg

It's the later model, with the yellow RVF graphics.  Just like mine!  Looks completely unmolested, apart from the end can.  Good find.

 

Ciao,

I actually got a ride late this afternoon. Fantastic little bike. Really gets along once the revs are over about 8 or 9000 revs. Feels amazingly solid in the corners. I’m no lite weight at about 95kg plus gear and I didn’t feel out of place on it. I head home on my Triumph America in the morning (about 1550km) picked up a passenger along the way 😳. weather looking terrible.

Your passenger looks pretty terrible, too!  :laugh:

 

I don't envy you that weather.  Good luck on the ride home and be safe!

It must be the quickest case of MBD ever, he’s now the proud owner of a red 5th gen 🏆 (let’s try that again 4th gen, it had been a long day riding back from Brisbane) maybe I did have something to do with it after all….

One of the most impressive bikes Honda ever made, with the engine from heaven, the swingarm etc etc, it is a bike most guys would die for

I have never seen one here on the east coast of Canada, not even at the track during the nationals

The closest I will ever come is a1989 CB1, dam

 Now I have this crazy idea to put a 5th gen engine in a RVF400. 🤔

 

I had a guy measure the width between the frame rails & its just wide enough 😁

And here I was just thinking my crazy idea would be to go buy one of the ones up for sale every time I read this thread 🤣

 

I need to complete my brake and other mods and get my VFR back on the road, so I'll stop thinking about "back up motorcycles!"

No, this is not a crazy idea! I am thinking about a back up bike for the back up bike!
