VFR 750

Honda is a Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturing company. Honda introduced it’s first motorcycles to U.S. buyers in the early 1960’s and has become well-known for reliability and fuel economy. The Honda VFR 750 is a legendary street bike initially intended to compete against offerings from other manufacturing companies. A Honda VFR750 service manual like those used at professional shops is helpful in diagnosing and repairing these sport touring bikes.

When initially envisioned, the VFR 750 was intended to compete against similar street bikes. In practice, the VFR 750 was more appropriately a sport touring bike capable of transitioning from leisurely cruise to death-defying street machine with the twist of the throttle. The motorcycle was produced from 1986 to 1997 before being replaced entirely.

The VFR 750 is popular for a number of reasons. The V-Four engine used by Honda produces gobs of power, while the braking and suspension provide a comfortable ride even for inexperienced riders. The dual overhead camshaft, liquid cooled engine produces in excess of 100 horsepower, giving the bike plenty of get-up. Honda’s legendary reliability is built right in. Some riders report in excess of 50,000 miles before requiring valve adjustment.

The VFR-series has come to be known as one of the most potent motorcycles on the market. When production of the VFR750 ceased in 1997, it was replaced by an all new VFR800. Today, the VFR750 is a desirable motorcycle that is beginning to attract collector interest. Riders who prefer to be on their bike rather than looking at it find the aftermarket repair parts to be commonly available.

Several versions are available, including some home-market motorcycles highly sought after for private collections. Among these, the detuned police units are of particular interest to collectors. Honda sold a VFR700 commonly referred to as the “tariff beater” because the goal was to avoid paying import taxes established to protect American motorcycle manufacturing companies. This bike featured a 700 cc engine that was tariff exempt.

This Honda VFR 750 workshop manual can be used by collectors seeking to return the motorcycle to it’s most pristine, showroom condition, but are equally useful to riders desiring to modify their bike with aftermarket equipment. This manual is essential for ensuring proper maintenance and repair of these exciting street bikes.
