“For many, bike journalists included, the Honda VFR 750 is the best road bike ever built.” That’s how MCN starts their review of the RC36 generation of Honda’s iconic VFR. It’s legendarily reliable, is a great bike for the money, and gives you a little taste of what it’s like to ride a RC30 in the process. Here’s one that’s recently been given a refresh so that it’s ready for another 30+ years of riding.
The seller provides a great photo album showing the work that he did as part of his “not concours restoration but a running, riding restoration.” The work included a carb clean, fork rebuild, hydraulic fluid flush, lots of new parts (speedo cable, chain/sprockets, battery, plugs, etc) and plenty of cosmetic work to the bodywork. Beyond that, it’s got upgrades which include a Staintune exhaust, Corbin seat, stainless braided brake lines, and LED lights.
