what is the difference in 750 and 700 vfr 1986 year...

Hey just was courius about the differemce between the 1986 vfr 700 and 750....

The outside difference in those two that I got....was....the turn signals 750 beck signals where big and 700 small
Same with the front signals.......also mine 700 is blue....looks like repaintet....with.....gray....wheels....750 got red wheels........and blue front fender.....all vfr that I seen got red fenders....and white wheels.....the engine. Difference is the....size of the engine....do u gays think that the carborators are different...

 

the only difference between those 2 bikes ( if they're both 86) is the engine size. Honda made both a 750F a 700F and a 700F2 in 86. the 700 F2 was all white with gold pinstriping and logos and had rectangular guages. The 750F and 700F were RWB with white wheels and round guages. I don't believe the carbs were different.

 

You just show up here calling us all gay...what the hell dude. LOL! my buddy has an 86 I 700 and it is also a dark blue and its a stock paint. Looks really good imo!

 

I need to put some pictures of mine project but I can't from this phone eh need to use computer.

 

I didn't ment to put....that word OGs.

 

Was looking for parts for my 86 VFR 750 and found that a lot of the parts are shared with the 700 of the same year. There are of course little variances but these are probably cosmetic. So, besides the displacement diff, they're practically the same bike.

 

50 cc I think...

 

In the US, there were three different VFR700 models sold, each with a California variant. The California version is easily identified by the presence of extra plumbing attached to the front head that runs to an AICV diaphragm valve under the right lower fairing (among other various emission control additions).

In 1986, the red, white and blue VFR700F was introduced as a tariff-beater for the tax imposed on Japanese imports above 700cc. As I understand it, this tariff was intended to protect Harley-Davidson since their product was over-priced and under-engineered when compared to most imports.

The VFR700F looked nearly identical to the VFR750F, but cost some $800 less (in ’86 that difference was huge). The 86VFR700F sported the look of the 750, with round instruments (and detachable speedometer). The only cosmetic difference was the lower fairing graphics now read "VFR" as opposed to "VFR 750".

In mid-1986, the VFR700FII (aka F2) was introduced. This model was only available in a solid pearl white with dark gold decals and striping. It acquired ‘square’ automotive-style instruments with an integrated fuse box (previously on top triple clamp), and kept the zinc-style engine covers.

In 1987, the VFR700F2 was the only model sold in the US. The blue/silver model was introduced featuring black engine covers, a midnight blue finish and silver wheels, seat and decals. Functionally, the ’87 included many improvements. The ignition became fully digital and no longer required the Cam Pulse Generator. The tachometer no longer fed into the spark unit. The gear shift-arm was shortened for more positive shifting. The front forks were given more damping (though this still left much to be desired). The rear suspension linkage was improved. A new Pro Link shock was intrroduced. Many engine components were strengthened and lightened. The valve rocker arms were redesigned to cause less friction.

Many VFR700 owners, such as myself, have bought restored bikes that have many non-original parts. This can make it especially hard to figure out which model you have as some parts may be newer than others. Compound this with the fact that the ID plate on the frame reads VFR700F for all models, and you are left with quite an identification challenge. In some cases, the color ID sticker (located under the seat on the registration holder) will identify the model as an F2. This is NOT, however, always the case. So the only way to be absolutely sure of your model is to check your VIN against the chart below:

Model Variant Applicable Engine# Frame#
86VFR700F 49 State RC26E-2000004 to 2004121 RC260*-GM000003 to GM001826
86VFR700F California RC26E-2000008 to 2004359 RC261*-GM000002 to GM001036
86VFR700F2 49 State RC26E-2000065 to 2001875 RC262*-GM000001 to GM001000
86VFR700F2 California RC26E-2000237 to 2001470 RC263*-GM000001 to GM000500
87VFR700F2 49 State RC26E-2100001 to 2101798 RC262*-HM100001 to HM101781
RC262*-HA105001 to HA105781
87VFR700F2 California RC26E-2100002 to 2102665 RC263*-HM100001 to HM100940
RC263*-HA105346 to HA105615

parts-wise on the different VFR bikes, that last post from captb says nearly everything you need to know...im pretty sure the carbs would be interchangable, and i think when it comes down to it, the main parts differences would be that the shock mount is different between the 86 and 87's, so theyd take different shocks, the front heads differ between teh 86 and 87 models cause of the CPG, the ignition system is quite different, and internally in the motor, the only real differences are the crankshaft and the connecting rods (correct me if im wrong, but i think if you take the crank and rods out of a 750, they will fit comfortably in the 700 cause they use the same engine blocks/cases and youd have a homemade 750. as for the differences in the 86's between the 700 and 750, i think the internal engine parts are the only difference that i even know of.

 

I got silver wheels on mine 86 and blue color......but no black covers on engine....and its 86 not 87 like
U sayed....maybe someone put it together like that........
On 700 there is rc 24....on 750 rc 26...

should be the other way around. 750 is RC24 ............700 is RC26

 

Yeah other way sounds better thx.p

 

Quick question I think engine from mine 700 is not originally from that bike....and I can't find the vin number on the engine to much it with frame...where is it in what spot...anyone know....

 

the main difference is obviously displacement, but to compensate they bumped up the timing to increase horsepower

 

sounds like someone put 87 plastics on an 86. could have a omplete mix and match going on. MOST everything is interchangeable.

 

stamped on the top right side of the case, between the heads, or just under the edge of the valve cover.. need to remove right side fairings at least the one under the seat and possibly the tank.

 

I don't have any fairings on bike right now beside the tail section...I even look in cramer manual...found the definition ...on the right side of the cylinder head on cluch cover side...or something like that....but its not there....there is picture in honda manual...but I can't find it...the frame number much the vin number...but where is that engine number no clue.......I found some ...markers......number on both bikes behind the cylinder heads....but they r made with yelow and white marker and don't much anythink.....does the engine number...is even on vin number on frame so I could match it ifffffff I'm gonna ever find it........maybe someone could post a picture...of that vin on your engine on 86...vfr.....the only number that I found on heads is the engine size....number....but that is not the engine vin right?.
