Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a restricted-power version of the VFR750F, best suited to newer or license-limited riders who still want the V4's refined sporting character without full-power intensity.
PurposeIt's a versatile sport-tourer, equally happy carving twisty roads on a weekend as it is handling a daily commute.
Rider FitThe riding position is moderately sporty but not extreme, with a manageable weight and seat height that suit a wide range of rider sizes.
CharacterThe V4 engine gives a smooth, characterful power delivery with a distinctive exhaust note, prioritizing usability and refinement over outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting maximum available power or for anyone seeking an off-road capable machine.
