The Honda RVF400R (NC35) is a motorcycle introduced by Honda Motor Company in 1994, powered by a V4 16 valve double overhead geardriven cam 400 cc engine and known for its supreme handling capabilities. There were two models, the R and the T, which were mainly identical apart from paint scheme. The RVF (as it was marketed by Honda in Japan) finished production in 1996, though unsold RVFs remained available to purchase from Japanese Honda dealers through 2001. The RVF400R is the smaller sibling of RVF750R (RC45), as the VFR400R (NC30) was to the VFR750R (RC30).

 

so you see this is old design bike..spare parts?? maybe an issue..

 

i dont own or ride rvf..better ask in rvf forum..

2mths, almost hitting 3k,for me. Some even spend more $ than the machine price (: This is what i heard from other rvf rider. No spare cash, dont even think of it. Unless you bought those really swee swee condition that might cost 8-10k.

For 400cc hyper sport, RVF and ZXR has the best styling...

Nice introduction of RVF (*one of few Honda "V" creation), again it depends what the machine use for during the ownership. If its for sole sports commuting, chances that parts worn out should be normal. Owner perhaps can highlight some common fault which can be found on RVF?

 

Vid on VTR, although not RVF but its "V" engine "beat" truly rock my heart (

wooo...RVF my dream 2a bike ~.~...gd luck to ur fren!

[samuelftw5]

radiator & wiring will mostly occur during each ownership. this two thingy can easily cost you 1k+(excluding hoses, waterpump,coolant,gasket) unless you use rebuilt radiator which cost few hundred lesser than original.

 

If your fren is keen in getting, do take note of the engine too.

honestly, i feel in my opinion, maintaining a RVF will cost you money. Then again, it depends on how the previous owners have maintained it.

 

But then again, its a more than 10 years old bike. Therefore it will definitely cost you money to maintain.

 

Experienced it first hand.. yup. so, for me, as much as it looks "cool" or like its a fast bike, or like you want to be different, getting a V4 engine and all, trust me, at the end of the day, its up to you for the maintenance.

 

i can give you a list of what the RVF cost me but all in all, i think i spent about over 1.2k on trying to get the machine back to shape.

 

This is not including your regular change of EO, change of spark plugs etc.

 

Up to you buddy, or rather in this case, your friend.

[Raider150]

Hmm. Currently riding one. 2A classic race bike with V-Twin engine.

 

The kind of bike you will hardly get to experience nowadays.

 

Maintenance wise of course it will cost more than normal bike, when compare to super4 the parts sometimes can be 2x the price of it.

 

If u're expecting something that doesn't spoil out of this bike then u should steer off.

 

But if u're willing to maintain it and take care of it, this bike won't disappoint u =)
