Overview[edit | edit source]
The V-Four 400cc. It's a hot, hot bike! It looks just like RVF750 (RC45) except the headlights are smaller and shaped more like the Factory RVF Suzuka 8-hour Endurance bike. Fully adjustable upside down forks are featured even though the CBR400RR still sports conventional forks. The "claimed" max horse power and torque are reduced due to a notice from department of traffic in Japan*.
Finally switched wheels from the RC30 like 17" front 18" rear to the now standard 17" at both ends. Like the VFR400R(NC30), the RVF400(NC35) is known for great handling and turning quicker than other 400s. It sports the latest Nissin 4 piston calipers (black colored). Graphics are just like the RC45 - mostly red and white with some purple and black on the fairing sides. Black number plates and wheels round out the look.
The third incarnation of the VFR400 (the
NC30) is an RC30 lookalike, and has turned out to be arguably
the best 400cc sports bike. It had the best 400cc engine and by
far the best looks, and has been the biggest seller. It was
'upgraded' to an RVF (NC35) in 1994 , echoing the lines of the
RC45. In truth, it had a styling makeover, upside-down forks and
a ram-air system but was virtually the same machine with
virtually identical power and performance figures. The little
VFR has proved itself to be popular by virtue of its brilliance.
The review says it all:
You don't have to ride the
NC30 to know that it is right. Everything about it just looks
right. The scaled-down version of the RC30 is perfect in it
proportions and in its detail. The reduction in size makes it
neater still.
The engine gives the impression of that of a larger machine. Peak torque is at 12,000rpm, but it doesn't drop off, giving a long, flexible spread of peak power. It will hold any top gear cruise speed up to 100mph, will pull wide open in top from 2,000rpm and runs without a hiccup to 15,000rpm.
Asked whether the quality of engineering is worth £6,000, the answer would be yes. The build quality is nearly as good as the RC30. The VFR400 was featured in Bike magazine's secondhand buyer's guide, in the October 2001 issue. These are some of the things they said:
It doesn't matter who you are or what sort of bike you ride you can't fail to be impressed by the NC30. It is quite simply the best sportsbike under 600cc, with the possible exception of the Aprilia RS250. Beautifully engineered, beautifully built and beautifully finished, it exudes such quality that you wonder how they built it at the price.
Reliable? Absolutely, assuming that it's been properly maintained. The charging system is a bit suspect, but that's it. Check the trueness of the wheels - they distort easily. [Note: Regulator/rectifiers can fail, just like the bigger VFRs, that's all].
Competition: There isn't any, really. The NC35 is even more gorgeous (and expensive), an utter work of art. The CBR400 is a contender. It's another wonderful miniature road burner with superlative handling and a tough engine, but it just doesn't have the quality feel that you get with the NC30.
