Overview:
See the 1994 RVF750 for bike specs.
Note: Not only are there stickers that call this model and RVF but the frame
badge designates it as well. See 1994 RVF750 (RC45) for more details.
The "Street" version of the RVF/RC45, shows up (in pre-production form) at the 1993 Suzuka 8 Hour
Endurance Race as marshal rides. The bike is based more on Honda's Works endurance (and TT) racer, the
'91-93 RVF, than the RC30 it replaces.
The bodywork is new with shape and graphics looking very much like the 1992 RVF (in Suzuka 8-hours
"OKI-HONDA" color). The front/sides of the fairing touch the radiators for less wasted airflow. Twin NACA
ducts at the top of the fairing route cool air through the top/front of the 4.8 gallon aluminum fuel tank and into a
pressurized airbox shaped more like the '93 factory RVF than anything else.
Note: About the same time as the Suzuka 8 hour race and the first appearance of the RC45, RC30's in AMA
competition started to sport new upper fairings with the Twin NACA ducts at the top of the fairing routing cool
air through the top/front of the fuel tank to "hand made" pressurized air boxes.
Frame is revised to lower the CG, engine and fuel tank, the later to make room for the larger airbox. 41mm
Inverted (USD) forks feature adjustable preload, compression & rebound damping. The now obligatory single
sided swingarm sports a shock with adjustable compression & rebound damping. Wheels are 3.5x16" front and
6.00x17" rear.
Gear driven cams are now run off the right side of the engine as on the CBR600F2/3 and CBR900RR, unlike
the center driven cams of engines on the earlier VFR750F, VFR750R(RC30), pre-1991 RVF.
Fuel injection is the weapon of choice for the intake mixture. This is obviously done with an eye on the future
(read homologation) as even the 1993 RVF's used 40mm Keihn flat slide carbs (rendered in Magneseium).
4/2/1 (left side) stainless steel exhaust features an aluminum silencer instead of the Factory RVF's Titanium
exhaust with a Carbon Fiber can.
