Honda RVF400 (NC35) – The Legendary “Baby RC45”

Why this Honda RVF400 is a future classic:

1. Honda's V4 Racer

Under the tank lies a screaming 399cc V4 engine that revs towards the limiter at 14,500 rpm. With an output of approximately 61 hp and a unique cam gear train (no chain, no hassle!), this machine howls to the red line like only a V4 can. The sound is downright addictive.

2. Nose-down, Ass-up Looks

The RVF400 came with components reserved for superbikes in the 1990s:

41 mm USD (Upside-Down) front fork: For ultimate stiffness and feedback.

Single-sided Pro-Arm rear swingarm: A Honda icon. Complete with a centrally mounted wheel for that pure race look.

Twin round headlights: A timeless design that still turns heads today.

3. Pure Riding Experience

With a wet weight of only 165 kg (364 lbs) and a seat height of 765 mm (30.1 inches), the RVF400 feels like a bicycle. This is a scalpel in a world of cleavers. The combination of the aluminium twin-spar frame, the V4, and the excellent brakes (269 mm dual discs) makes throwing it into corners almost criminally fun.

Recently maintained & Ready for the road

This particular RVF400 (Model year 1998) is in very good technical and visual condition. The engine runs smoothly, the fork doesn't leak, and the Pro-Arm is rust-free.

Perfect for:

Note: The RVF400 is notoriously rare. Parts are scarce, but the smile behind the handlebars is priceless. This is your entry ticket to a ride at the top of the 90s food chain.
