Whatever happened to putting the specs for the 94-97.

[WhiteKnight]

I don't have the specs for the 4th gen. I will work on seeing if I can get some to post.

Don't for get to add Pearl Black like my 1992:)

[WhiteKnight]

The color is actually a blue, but it does look black. I replaced a busted left mid cowl on my 93 with a new one from a 92. It says its a Granite Blue Metalic, but I swear it looks black.

Interesting, I just took off my entire front faring assembly to get at my spark plugs, and I noticed the backs were blue in color...But under my saddle there is a sticker with the color code which reads Pearl Black 0620 or something like that. I m thinking Honda used the darker color farings and sprayed over.

Ok, here we go...the black color is a combination of two colors read this:

1992 VFR750F (RC36) Overview: No major changes except cosmetics. U.S. Honda went to black with purple/silver stripes and silver wheels (actually the black is a really, really dark green with a black flip-flop translucent coat and blue pearl on top of that).

I really love this color on my bike...But I had to remove the odd purple decals. Looks much better I think.. Cheers

I'm getting a VFR400 NC30
is there anything i should look out for?
i'm getting it as my first bike, would that be a good choice?

Just repainted my '92 using OEM colors, and the color is officially Granite Blue Metallic. Most folks think it's black, but when you get it in the sun and look from the right angle, there is some "blue tinted" metalflake in the black.

Hey Betarace- Are you tracking your VFR? How is that? I am thinking about trying to get started. What should I be prepared for? What do I need besides money?

The body (plastics) and the styling is just off. My personal opinion.
Also. I think they screwed the pooch in '02 with styling... just bugs me. so f'n ugly. (lol) I could be wrong with that though... it's happened a time or two
