Before the introduction of the VFR800, the [[:Category Honda VF and VFR|VFR]] in 750cc form had been considered by some to be the best all-round [[motorcycle]] money could buy. The original [[Honda VFR750|VFR750]] was produced to follow the [[Honda VF750|VF750]], a machine with [[camshaft]]s prone to failure. Accordingly, the VFR750 [[Gasoline engine|motor]] was engineered to be more durable.

From its first sales in 1986, the VFR750 scored highly on many tests and became the benchmark for machines in the sports-touring category. By 1997, however, some saw the bike as a bit staid. Both [[Triumph Motorcycles|Triumph]] and [[Ducati]] had presented Honda with significant sports-touring competition, so Honda responded with the VFR800 in 1998.
