White, The VF750F has become a collectible supersports classic. An all-new perimeter frame made from square-section steel tubes enveloped a strengthened version of the 750cc V4, which was tilted back to allow for a shorter wheelbase and better weight distribution. The VF750F engine shared most components with the Sabre, though detail changes to cam timing and combustion chambers resulted in extra horsepower. A more race-suitable chain final drive replaced the Sabre’s shaft. The transmission also included a new slipper clutch. Completing the racer-on-the-road formula was a 16-inch front wheel attached to fully adjustable, air-assist Showa forks fitted with Honda’s TRAC anti-dive system. Rear suspension was Honda’s own Pro-Link system with a fully adjustable air-assist Showa shock. Comcast alloy wheels carried floating discs, two at the front and one at the rear, each gripped by twin-pot calipers. As well as the prodigious thrust provided by 77 rear-wheel horsepower, testers noted that the Honda VF750F was a Japanese Superbike with a chassis that really and truly handled. 31,407kms.
