Honda's enthusiasm for the V4 engine
I layout in the early 1980s was such that by 1984
the VF range comprised six models with capacities
ranging from 400 to 1000cc. The fastest and most glamorous
was the VF1000R: a limited edition super-sports machine
that was created, with little expense spared, to dominate
production racing in the way that the straight-four
CB1100R had done three years earlier. With its full
fairing and racy red. white and blue paintwork, the
VF1000R looked every bit the street-legal competition
machine. Its specification list was mouth-watering,
based on a liquid-cooled, 90-degree V4 engine that
incorporated gear-driven overhead camshafts and produced
no less than 122 hp @ l0,000 rpm.

Following the release of the VF1000FF in 1985,
a fully faired version was introduced, and the
VF1000F2(F) was launched in April 1985.
The powerful 1000cc V-4 had been packaged into
two super sports bikes and it was now time to
show that the VF could be a real sports tourer
too. |

For road riding the VF1000R was a seductively
fast and comfortable companion. Its fairing combined
with the racy riding position to give excellent
wind protection. High-speed stability was absolute,
and the engine was superbly powerful and torquey.
The I000R cruised effortlessly at well over 100mph
(161km/h). and surged smoothly to a top speed
of 150mph(241km/h). |
