Feature Listing: 1995 Honda RVF400 NC35 with Extensive Upgrades

Kurt has been a long time reader of RSBFS and shared that his bike came from this website originally. Now after some serious modifications that had to be very expensive and difficult to source, he’s putting the bike back on our site.
We don’t see many RVF400′s on the site but for those who are new to the model we have previously written, “Obviously the RVF400 is bound to draw direct comparisons to its bigger and more sought after brother, the RFV750R. Both bikes share the same graphics and get their power from the V4 engine configuration. But the little RVF (NC35) deserves its own place in the spotlight. It makes 60hp and weighs only 360lbs. Add in its adjustable inverted forks, Nissin four piston calipers, and more conventional 17 inch wheels and you can see why the RVF400 has the ability to be quite capable in the category of performance.”
As you’ll read below, this NC35 goes far beyond what it was originally known for in enthusiast circles and is ready for serious track day duty — or with it’s California registration, the street! Good luck with the sale Kurt,

Massively overpriced. Would take a clean, stock or lightly modded bike over this one, even up. The Ohlins shock is nice but you can get one new brand new for under $1k–I’m doing just that for an even older NSR 250. Fork swap? Originals are cartridge style and you can just put Ohlins or other internals into them. There’s some decent HRC bits like the radiators and such, but then you have aftermarket fairings…bad trade.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:

Dropping in Ohlin’s internals on a stock RVF400 will prove difficult, they don’t have compression damping adjustment, only rebound and preload. The price is entertaining, since to get an RVF400 in the states legally is no less than 6k, and to buy a decent one in Japan is at least another 6k. Throw in the extras offered and I think it’s a steal actually; I wouldn’t even start listening to offers until the 16k range for my stock faired Cali titled/registered 94…. If I wanted to sell anyways…..

I had a buyer who sent a deposit and never showed for purchase. The bike is still for sale and I’m entertaning offers. I realize the asking price is high for a 400 but there is a big part pf me that does not want to let this little pig go. The bikes street body work (joey replica) is amazing and I’m still kicking myself fo rnot mounting it for the photos before the snow fell.

@Tony…16k for an RVF400… if that were true I would have a container stuffed full of them on the way from Japan…
