2:38 "With miles that are similar to what you find in a 4-wheeled vehicle." The established record for an RC36 comes from a reliable report from an English despatch rider (courier) from the early 2000's. He used his '90 VFR750 day in, day out for years as a work vehicle and got 416,000 miles out of it.... He then replaced the engine and got 442,000 miles out of the second engine. And all in the same frame and all from a 750cc V4 that will happily rev to 12K RPM. That's engineering integrity.

Over fifty years I’ve been fortunate enough to ride many bikes over many miles. In my not so humble opinion, the Honda VFR has one of the best internal combustion engines ever produced, it has character, reliability and - other than the cost of valve adjustments - isn’t ridiculously expensive. Once obtained, it’s a hard bike to get rid of and most who sell them, regret it. I certainly don’t regret keeping mine!

This was one of the video´s that finally convinced my , to buy a RC36. This second winter with the C-19 crap , got me so frustrated and grumpy, that I was searching the net for all kinds of vehicles, just to bring change into my life come spring time. I even looked at choppers(!) like a Honda CMX450. I thought "maybe that is good for my nerves"... Yesterday I went into the garage and installed a fresh battery into my shiny black 1990 RC36 , that I´ve stored for 6 months and hit the button: bam...it was there , like it couldn´t wait. I drove around for 2 hours and it was like psychotherapy...What a perfect bike. The roar , the handling, the solidity due to the weight, makes it such an awesome cruiser. I used to spent 5 years racing on trackdays every other weekend all over Europe and mostly on Suzuki GSXR 1000´s with 170+HP. I drove them through the German countryside and went 300 on the autobahn for so long that it became almost boring. My car at that time was the famous Honda S2000, which I had a used MY00 first and a new one MY08 later. These cars are not outright fast, but they feel fast and drive in a very exiting manner. The sound of it , makes you feel like driving a full blown race car. Same thing with the RC36: It is not really a fast bike, but the way it rides creates so much confidence, that you can squeeze every performance out of it effortlessly, without having to be Valentino Rossi. On top of it, the noises it makes, gives you the impression of riding a Ducati Panigale...it really is a fascinating mixture.

Here in England I had a black one of this exact model. The fairing was great, even in rainy England. I stopped riding about five years ago after losing an eye. I owned the VFR for ten years. When I sold it there was over 100,000 miles on the clock, and still it was reliable and fun. Great machine

Had two of them. They are on the top of my ‘still wish I had’ list.

I think this video is what really turned me onto VFR's... 3 years later, and I own one. And it's as amazing I as I thought it'd be.

I fell in love with the single swing arm when I was a kid... then growing up, I stumbled upon many reviews of this bike, that were, needless to say, more than positive... and now I'm waiting like a kid before christmas because in 3 days I'm picking MY VERY OWN '93 VFR !!!

I just bought this one!!! Rare one in holland to find this color and decals!!

He's not lying when he says its heavy! But I love mine. Makes me feel like a podracer

VFR says- ride me, such a willing and user friendly, smooth machine.

Awesome video! I've got a 1993 Honda VFR 750 F RC36 with nearly 90.000 miles and I love it every time that I ride it! What a bike, man!

Maaan, I enjoyed that! Great job on the video. You gave me exactly the kind of information I was looking for! Keep up the great work and bring us many more videos like this one, please!

I´ve owned 2 of them a ´96 VFR 800 and a ´99 VFR 800 ... best bikes ever. I´ll never forget the sound of that beautiful engine.

Been looking for someone who does reviews of all the great used bikes. My '97 Honda Super Black bird is simply superb...I mean...I just don't need anything else.

This is a really well done video, your choice of classics to do these "used bike" is really great. I especially liked the fact that you've shown this bike in great condition and highlighted mainly key features.

Easily the most beautiful Honda ever made. That all-white VFR is my dream bike.

Great video from a Honda enthusiast. Really enjoying your reviews of these 90's icons 👍

incredible bike , i have one '92 , this bike is unbreakable

Beautiful review of a great bike. Especially the sound of the V4 is mesmerizing.

Just picked up a 94 vfr 750 with 91k miles, runs pretty damn good I'm pretty impressed so far

I had this bike and loved it. I upgraded to the 2000 and 2002 models (VFR800) but always remembered my 93.

The White is stunning and those wheels!Cycle world had a article on those and praised them, one of the most beautiful Hondas ever.

Man, I love your videos! Really great stuff. Well presented, written, and produced. Has a wonderful polished feel. Also, love the VFR! haha. Looking forward to more videos.

My foreman just bought one from an old couple, whomes house we were plumbing today. $500…… It’s in absolute mint condition with just over 4,000 miles. It is extremely cool, and he’s working on getting it back up and running!!

Nice. I have a 1994 VFR750 RC36. runs so smooth

one of the best reviews ive seen of any vehicle

I own a 1995 VFR750 F and just it just reached 89,500miles and not only is it still an amazing ride with plenty of power but I can still easily take it from Albuquerque NM to Durango CO and not think twice if my bike will make it. I found mine in rough shape and bought for $1400 and I have to say it's the best $1400 I have spent in a while.

I have a 91, everything you said about this bike is so true - very well done video.

Excellent videos, and needed reviews! Keep them coming please!

Your videos of a great value! Keep the coming man!

Great reviews, and you make Kansas look like twisty heaven, lol! I've had 2 6th Gens, and you're right - not only are they bulletproof, you can do an Ironbutt on Saturday, and a Track Day on Sunday, and the bike is happy the whole weekend. I did just that this year - went from Wichita to Kingman, AZ alongside my brothers' FJR1300, and felt great. Did two track days at Heartland Park in Topeka, and the bike just loved passing the 600's....GO VTEC!

I never get tired of watching this video. I’ve got a red 95 with just 3500 miles on it.

Can't wait for summer to ride my RC 36 again. It's by far the best bike I've ever rode.

Hands down, one of the top motorcycle enthusiast channels. Excellent production, most pleasant voice, well chosen music... and I could go on and on. Too bad you don't have but a few videos. On the other hand, I look forward to the next one... perhaps a last generation Honda Nighthawk 750?

hi peter, just to let you know i just bought a 1992 vfr 750 after watching this video 30 times. awesome bike, i'm putting a delkevic on it, can't wait! great value for money all around/

my 96 vfr 750f has 84,000 miles on it and she runs like a top.

Rode 2 80s Honda standard bikes that i found on Craigslist. The shaft drive and light, smooth shifting sold me. The power of those 30 year old engines amazed me.

great vid! beautiful bikes, own a 96 personally, daily runner in all weather & seasons...never, EVER misses a beat ;-) (nearly 80tho miles on the clock) forggot to mention that the vfr range holds more titles -such as, bike of the yr, best sport, best sport tourer and bike of the decade!, than any other motorcycle made...says it all really, amazing versatile machines with a unique V4 heart you love more & more with every passing mile. Really impressed that vid mentioned rear bearing & charger checks...knows his vfrs and there very few weaknesses.

again the best and honest review ive seen, great video :)

High Quality Production! Keep 'em coming!

Really excellent video on a really excellent bike. I have a newer gen and the biggest issue with these is if you can only afford one bike, nothing else comes close over the years. They are true keepers.

1-I have a VFR 800, love it. That white 750 is extremely beautiful. Love every viffer. 2-Not true that Ducati engines are unreliable. Maintenance intervals are more frequent, but the engines are long lasting if well mainteined. 3-Viffers are built like a tank, but the electric part is substandard. Connectors, rectifier, stator - every VFR owners knows that they are subject to frequent failures. Except for that, the machine is bulletproof.

Well done! I owned a used '90 for six years and it was my favorite. The only improvement to your video I would suggest is to eliminate the music when it's moving off from a stop: the sound of the engine is like nothing else.

Beautiful bike, and even more stunning engine. Absolutely love them!

Very well done video. Shots and commentary are quality.

The 1993 is still the best looking one! Even though I bought a 1992 in the midnight blue metallic. Sadly she was submerged in hurricane Wilma. I still have her and do want to get her back on the road.

Nice work man!! Very good viewing and well researched

Cool Videos, Love the XR review I used to own that exact year!! You are the Car and Driver videos of used bikes. Cool stuff. You are on the right track and provide meaningful information 10/10 Awesome!!

This is a great video, i've been on the fence about buying a 97 vfr and this may have just tipped me over the edge...

Weight on a bike is a blessing. Gorgeous bike,.

awesome video we are looking for these kind of videos showing best old motorcycles

I had one in college. Still the best bike I've ever had. I sold it with about 45k miles I think and the person I sold it to had it up to 125k and emailed me to tell me about it. The only issue I ever had was replacement of the voltage rectifier as mentioned in the video.

Fantastic review! I really enjoyed it.

I Love my VFR. Mine is a bit older with plenty of body damage but buying this bike 15 thousand miles ago was the best choice i have ever made. I'm sitting at 97 thousand miles on this bike.

I like this guy. Great video quality. Subbed.

I loved owning and riding mine...same as this one only red. Best sounding bike on the road and I left quite a few Mr Ducati's behind me in the twisties...when they finally catch up at the pub at the bottom of the Gilles "what have you done to that thing"? My answer of "Absolutely nothing, bone stock except for pipes" They were disbelieving.....I have another Honda now...97 Blackbird...what a rocketship!

I just paid C$2000 ($1500 usd)for a very tight one. It has a few small cracks in the plastics, but it's all there, and straight. Freshly rebuilt forks and valves done recently. Two brothers exhaust w/out a baffle. Beautiful noises.

Bought a 1993 vfr750 a year ago with 32000 km. After doing new coolant hoses, carb boots and an aftermarket r/r it’s an amazing motorcycle

Lovely objective review of the finest all round motorcycle ever made...vfr v4forever

Great review, the peak of the vfr

Great review! Love my VFR

Loved this bike in white!!

I've owned three, 1986, 1997 and a 1998... These are the very best bikes I've ever owned.

Superb review.... I'm going to buy one!

1999 vfr800 yellow is still god of the motorcycle world... ten awards! The only bike ever

Great bike still looks good today .

wow this is like top gear but with bikes and serious. great video!

I own one of these, what a great video you postedd

I HAD ONE OF THESE AND IT HELD ITS OWN AGAINST THE OTHER LITER BIKES.

That's in amazing shape! So jealous.

I remember back in 83 when the VF750F Interceptor hit the showrooms in Canada. It's still my favourite style of Interceptor with the engine being on display instead of hidden away. However, I finally bought a 95 VFR750 about six years ago and it is absolutely superb. Some claim the 4th gen is the best motorcycle ever built. All thing considered I can't disagree. I wonder if sometime down the road of time remaining examples will be as sought after as Vincent Black Shadows.

Thinking about getting one of these from '95 for road trips! The "v8" sound is just amazing although It's going to be strange to move from a lightweight NC30 to a heavyweight RC36! It is a shame Honda didn't instal the exhaust can on the left side instead! Great and inspiring review mate! Greetings!

I had one, a truly awesome bike. I miss the old girl.

Happy to own 1992reg red lovely VFR 750. Had VTEC and 800 fi. Love 750 the most

That white on white looks so damn good!

Great review keep it up

Great video!

Love your classic bike vids man, do a full review on your cbr900rr fireblade pleaseee!

Well done! I've owned 3 newer generations (5th & 6th) of the VFR and non have ever disappointed beyond their only Achilles heel (Charging system - stator/rectifier). If I had to tell you why I sold them, it would be that the bike is almost too perfect. I may be a soul that requires some punishment (personality) in my motorcycles.

You know, the 94-97 VFR750 had over 300 improvements and weighed about 20 pounds less.

Great video , I love my 2014 VFR

I miss my '93 VFR every day.

Mate youre good at review you should more Love your reviews👍

Superb review

Just bought a 1993 model here in the UK with 61,000 miles on it and the engine still runs and goes like a sewing machine, perfect.....paid £750.00 .....awesome bargain.

Brought to you by the John Davis school of broadcasting. All that was missing was the satire. Still, enjoyable video!

Awesome vid subbed

My absolute dream bike. I wanted one soooo much when I was in my early 20s, but couldn't afford it. Now, years later... it will be mine! [begins search on autoscout24] Imagine how great that bike would look with GOLD wheels. Am I right? Awesome.

I sold mine last year... I will buy it again some day :)

Great great video!

Ah, Ducati :) But yes, They're expensive and the money doesn't stop after the purchase of the bike. But the passion. I now ride a K1300S, a sports tour bike like the VFR. Had it for five and a half years now and racked up 110,000km. It has a long way to go :)

please do a video on 1999 vfr800

RC46 rocks!! Nothing ever beaten it....VFR800Fi 5th....no comparison, nothing matched it....not even today. 100000KM's....no problem at all, no loss of power.

i do prefere the looks of old bikes, the rc30, a yzf750, they are awesome and pretty

Also one thing that owners don't like is hot frame and heat in the summer time.

Really liked this

I love your videos !! You should do a review on a 08 ninja zx6r

Very honest review

The sp 1 rc51 I owned was a heavy little beast for a v,twin cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

It only took Honda 4 model years to fix the bad camshaft V4 bikes they built. Some engineering genius.
