Lot details

  • Gear driven cam V-four 400cc engine
  • Elf Design single sided swinging arm
  • Supplied with a current V5C

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937 and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The VFR400, first seen in the late 1980s was essentially a scaled-down version of the larger capacity VFR models of the day and was mainly developed for, and sold in, the Japanese domestic market (although they proved to be popular grey imports in other countries). With its alloy beam frame and Honda’s patented single-sided swinging arm together with a high revving gear driven cam vee four motor, you got superbike specification and performance in a small lightweight package.

This VFR400R is from a deceased estate so unfortunately not much is known of its history. Finished in RC30 replica colours, it has been stood for a while and the fuel tap appears to be missing but it will make an interesting recommissioning project to put back on the road. It comes fitted with a Blue Flame stainless steel end-can, keys and a current V5C. With the cost of RC30s having rocketed in recent years these 400cc mini race replicas give you some of that style and exclusivity for a fraction of the price.
