rvf and vfrs?

[wbks]

Hey, I'm looking at getting certain VFR, RVF's, so I'd like to ask a few questions.
How much approx would a repainted (plain black or white or something for example), road legal vfr750 be worth? And the same for an RVF? Are there any huge differences in these bikes? Anything to look out for? Thanks

[mark247]

The only RVF 750 is the RC45 which is a homologation race bike which are worth HEAPS.

What type of vfr750 are you talking about?

[wbks]

Actually, forget about the vfr, I think I have determined I'm actually looking at a RVF. Are there any v-four particular problems (besides hard to work on) that I shoud look for when buying? "HEAPS"? So how much, about, would a road legal, mint, freshly repainted rvf750 go for on the average day? Yes it does matter

As i said, the only RVF750s are the RC45 which are rare as hens teeth.

They look like that.

Looks like that, and is listed as a vfr750. So either they have accidentally (listing it for a friend and all, probably know nothing about bikes) mixed up the letters, or the owner has put rvf fairings on to clone it. You should be able to tell on the frame #, right? Ok, I get they're rare (as hens teeth, rocking horse shit etc etc), but how much $ are we talking about here? 5k?

lol try fucking 30 grand up for a good one mate. Last one i saw was in the 30's.

This is a homologation race bike man. no way anyone in their right state of mind would wanna repaint one. of course unless its been crashed. not sure how much a crashed one would go for sorry.

No there are no motor problems with the honda v4's. off the clock with no maintenance, no problem.

wata post up a link so we can look?? sure it aint a 400rvf there a few of those around

Hey I see it's worth a lot. Did rvf's ever had normal (not USD) forks?

[James Deuce]

No. RC30s had "normal" (pretty freaking sweet ones actually) forks and were also known as VFR750R. They're into the low $30k figures for a good one now. If it's in the $20k range it's an ex-racebike. However one of the ex-Rothmans Suzuka bikes would be in the $50k range.

They're pretty reliable, understressed in road trim, but quite difficult to find anyone who knows anything about them to look after them.

This is either a troll or you need to do some research before posting stuff like that.

[James Deuce]

If it's this one:

Then it is the first VFR750F that came out with a single sided swingarm. You'll note that the muffler is on the wrong side to be an RC30 or RC45 and that the rear wheel has 4 studs rather than a single castellated nut.

Someone is trying to make a one-off pseudo RC30 out of one of these:

[wbks]

Haha no troll but I've determinned that what I'm actually looking at is a 91 vfr 750f with rvf fairings (fuck knows why)... T'was too good to be true. I'm still not sure why someone would ad fairings worth more than the bike to it but some people are strange, huh. The pillian pegs give it away...

EDIT: Yea, you found it. Some people are tards... I'm off to stick yzr m1 fairings on my cb125...

Why is he a tard? He's advertised it as a `1991 VFR750'. Not hard to determine it's a 1991 VFR750 from that.

It even says `RC32 project bike' (presumably he means RC30) and states they are `fibreglass replica fairings' and that the centre stand (?!) will have to be removed to fit the fairing properly.

Where does he state it's an RVF750?

The dude is a tard. The RC thing is Honda's model number which isn't related to the race bikes RC codes.

The RC32 is a cruiser - VT800 I think. The donor bike the tard has used is an RC36.

I think your bike is an MC02?
