Difference between revisions of "Category:Honda VF and VFR"

[[Image:Honda_VFR800_1998_black_1.jpg|thumb|250px|1998 Honda VFR800 (considered the 5th generation of VFR)]]The [[Honda VFR750R|RC30]] was the successful racing version, replaced later by the [[Honda RC45|RC45]]. In 1998 the [[Honda VFR750|VFR750]] was replaced by the re-designed [[Honda VFR800|VFR800Fi]], with a displacement of 788cc and [[Fuel_injection]]. In 2002 Honda released the [[VTEC]] version, which dropped the gear driven cams. The VTEC is different from the technology used in Honda cars, where the valve timing varies. On the 6th generation VFR, below 6,800 rpm, two valves per cylinder open and close, resulting in greater fuel economy and lower emissions. Critics, however, say this robs the engine of some of its power. Above the 6,800 rpm, the VTEC valves kick in, four valves per cylinder operate. Some critics say that the transition from one mode to another is not smooth, creating a jolt which can be unsettling if it happens mid-corner.
