Rvf of vfr
Hi all
I've been for a while but not been very active.
I have had rs 250, rgv 250, tzr 250 and nsr 250 over the last few years but I'm selling up the strokers and going 4banger v4 now.
I definitely want a rvf of vfr 400 next but having never owned a 4banger before I'm seeking advice.
I want a v4 well because it's a v4 and from what I've read there screamers that love to be reved just like the smokers iv always had. So please tell me your opinions, experiences and pros/cons.
Thanks

Nc30. Both do the same things but the nc35 is more expensive, buy a cheaper nc30 and spend the extra on decent suspension
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

Re: Rvf of vfr
I've had both at the same time at one point; soon sold the NC30 and kept the NC35; don't plan on selling it either!
Both can be equally good, it depends on condition and equipment. If a VFR has good suspension and brakes and bodywork in decent condition, it'll be a better option than an RVF with 20 year old suspension etc. Of course if you can find a cheap enough RVF and invest some time & money in getting it sorted, then that may be the best option; assuming you prefer the look of the NC35 better.
One thing to keep in mind is that the RVF has a 17" rear wheel; that makes it easier to get decent tyres for it. The VFR has an 18" rear wheel.

When the mind is relaxed, the body will go faster!
