I had a '96 VFR750 (for 24 years) that I bought new the following spring. Sadly, many of the plastic body panels were cracking (it was never down) and new OEM replacements are rare so I bought a new Panigale. I still rode the VFR much more during the time they were both in the garage.

FFS learn how to change down properly by blipping the throttle to match revs with road speed 😱 You’re risking damage to clutch, gearbox and chain not to mention possibly locking up the rear wheel. This bike isn’t fitted with a slipper clutch or quick shifter/blipper. 🤦🏻♂️

I've just got rid of my r1 after 17 years and bought a 4th gen 96 vr after missing all the best rides I had back in the 90s. I crashed 2 vfr750s back in the day because I was too confident with them lol. When I was a kid my dream bikes were the rc30 and rc45 so this is the best compromise for an ageing biker like me.

I had a '94 model just like it and loved it. It went into a tank slapper at near WOT in 6th gear while wheelying over a rise in the road and pitched me off, sending the bike sliding into a telephone pole and totaling it. I tore a few ligaments and my left knee is still a bit unstable, but I was dressed for the crash and pulled through much better than one would expect. The '98 VFR800 I replaced it with was also really sweet.

I did 800km days on the 800, i now have a 750 and i dont think i'll be able to do that with this one. Love the gear driven cams, they make the valve clearence check very easy. Its a hassle on the vtec. The 750 has a bit of a fuel pump/relais problem, and the 800 has a wonkey rectifier but apart from that both are some of the most reliable bikes ever. The 2014+ vtec also pretty much solved the cam chain tensioner problem that the 2002-2013 vtec had. I hope to own the 2014+ vtec some day, its a bit out of reach for me up until now.

When you read bike tests comparing the two bikes it makes the VFR800 seem like a much better bike except for the linked brakes.

The styling cues from the NR750 give the 750 a special look.

the problem with carbs vs injection, fuel in carbs are open to air, thus the gas will evaporate leaving behind gunk some say you have to ride at least once a month to prevent this if letting it winter/hibernate you have to drain the carbs to prevent this some say the just close the tap x distance from home so it can essentially run the carbs dry it may help but you can't realy run the carbs dry, hopefully get the level in carbs low enough to not have the gunk in the jets since i love riding i just "have to" make sure the carbs don't gunk up with a ride

I don't claim to be a mechanic or even have a particular talent for such things. But I am just dumb enough to have done a number of DIY games on my bikes. Particularly some ham handed carb tweaking because I added mods to one of my bikes which guaranteed I would be messing about every time I rode it till I finally tired of it and wanted a bike that would "just start and go" without having to get out my prayer rug and perform a ritual to start it. It was great fun till it wasn't. Looking back I recall that in the olden days one ritual was to pull the plugs and "read them" to get an idea how the carb setup was working out or if the chosen plug was too hot cold or otherwise temperamental. You allegedly also could tell if oil was getting past the rings and all sorts of things. Any old mechanic who rolled his own cigarettes was a master of such things Part of being "an expert" 🤣was convincing yourself you knew how to "read a plug" and had a clue what the wet spots, charred spots tan spots and every shade in between meant about "how my bike is feeling today". Kind of a black art like when your chiropractor takes your pulse and convinces you your problem is improper bowel movements just by checking your pulse. Reading plugs was like that ... allegedly. A grizzled old mechanic could "figure it out" just by examining and fondling the plugs ... allegedly. Seems that little ritual would have revealed the mixture was a tad (IE a lot) over rich. Wet plugs or charred plugs always a tipoff something is no bueno. One thing I don't miss on cars OR bikes is carburetors. EFI is so much better, and boring. Whichever way it sucks you're going to have to suck it up and live with it because unless you're a REAL mechanic you won't have a clue what to do. Generally it works or it is broken. Of course if it breaks a guy like myself would be SOL because I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it other than "run some gunk thru" or have them replaced. IE, get a new bike.

That's a GREAT find! You're going to love it. 👍
I’m going to be taking a look at a custom street fighter look with all carbon fiber this week more then likely going to be purchasing. I freaking love the way it sounds with a custom straight pipe exhaust😍❤️
Love it, you should only be careful it stays legal to drive 👌🏻
my 93' in green for looks ;)
I don't claim to be a mechanic or even have a particular talent for such things. But I am just dumb enough to have done a number of DIY games on my bikes. Particularly some ham handed carb tweaking because I added mods to one of my bikes which guaranteed I would be messing about every time I rode it till I finally tired of it and wanted a bike that would "just start and go" without having to get out my prayer rug and perform a ritual to start it. It was great fun till it wasn't. Looking back I recall that in the olden days one ritual was to pull the plugs and "read them" to get an idea how the carb setup was working out or if the chosen plug was too hot cold or otherwise temperamental. You allegedly also could tell if oil was getting past the rings and all sorts of things. Any old mechanic who rolled his own cigarettes was a master of such things Part of being "an expert" 🤣was convincing yourself you knew how to "read a plug" and had a clue what the wet spots, charred spots tan spots and every shade in between meant about "how my bike is feeling today". Kind of a black art like when your chiropractor takes your pulse and convinces you your problem is improper bowel movements just by checking your pulse. Reading plugs was like that ... allegedly. A grizzled old mechanic could "figure it out" just by examining and fondling the plugs ... allegedly. Seems that little ritual would have revealed the mixture was a tad (IE a lot) over rich. Wet plugs or charred plugs always a tipoff something is no bueno. One thing I don't miss on cars OR bikes is carburetors. EFI is so much better, and boring. Whichever way it sucks you're going to have to suck it up and live with it because unless you're a REAL mechanic you won't have a clue what to do. Generally it works or it is broken. Of course if it breaks a guy like myself would be SOL because I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it other than "run some gunk thru" or have them replaced. IE, get a new bike.
Also not something to overlook on these older bikes without electronic assists, until you feel absolutely confident on the bike riding in bad weather especially snow and colder temperatures just take it easy. Maybe even start on a smaller 250cc.
"Starten- lopen....dat doen ze, die machines...een goed afgestelde VFR baby!😊
I have an 800 Gen 5, interesting to see the differences beneath the fairing. They're quite different, most obvious is the side mounted radiators on the later bike, there's subtle changes everywhere though..
