The Honda RVF400 is the successor to the [[Honda VFR400]]. The obvious differences between the [[Honda VFR400|VFR400]] and the RVF400 are that the front forks are of the upside down type, the rear wheel takes a 17" tire, a ram air system of dubious value and styling changes. However, there are many more subtle differences like geometry, engine internals, carburetors, etc. Unlike the [[Honda VFR400|VFR400]] the RVF400 was only officially sold new in Japan. The RVF400 outputs slightly less peak power than the VFR400, but with a stronger midrange. The RVF400 is known for its supreme handling capabilities.

Like other Hondas with gear driven cam shafts, the RVF engine makes a loud 'whine' sound when operating. The exhaust note of [[V4_(engine)|V4 engine]] is also different to that of a more conventional inline four. | Like other Hondas with gear driven cam shafts, the RVF engine makes a loud 'whine' sound when operating.
