You, Sir, are the most terrifyingly methodical and thorough mechanic I have ever seen; I can't wait to see the clean-up and restoration phases of this wonderful little bike!
Now *this* is the sort of bike build series I want to see. And likely many others, these bikes were a huge hit and most adult bikers know them well. Looking forward to seeing it back on the road.
Really glad to hear you are excited to see the project unfolding :) as for the jack yeah it defo needs some love its lifted plenty of tonnage in its lifetime
vfr400 nc30 was my first proper bike, watched this a few weeks ago and as a result am now the proud owner of a knackered old vfr400 nc30 project. Will be watching closely lol!.
I started a VFR750F RC36 restoration about 6 weeks ago and have thought many a time "Wouldn't it be cool to see an RRC restoration of a VFR?" Bang! Here it is! Very exciting indeed as I've always loved the little brother but they were very absent here in the USA. Very excited to follow this one in particular but I've been a subscriber for a while and any bike restoration is reason to get excited. I've learned a lot by watching your channel. Keep up the great work!
Perfection in 2/3 scale… stunning machines and worth every second of the invested time. Just picked up myself a ZXR750H to do a full resto on. I’ve done a few before, including a ZXR previously. Your work is inspiring.
You're a legend for just thinking about taking on this challenge. My head hurts just looking at all the mixed bag of bolts and screws and what not. You only got two options with something like this. You either go all in and strip everything to pieces and do things proper, OR you dip the whole thing in chocolate and pray someone will take it off your hands for free...
Glad to see my favorite Scotsman is back! I was beginning to worry that some horrible fate had befallen you. Now I see my worries were indeed true :) Good luck with that disaster sir. Luckily for all of us, it will still be very enjoyable to watch, regardless of what transpires. Cheers, Sev
Been watching you for a long time, It’s nice to see you’re becoming a little more comfortable with showing yourself on camera. It adds to the appeal, as viewers, we can relate to a real person. Thanks for all your efforts to entertain us.
I had one of these and it was great fun. One thing I can recommend is to replace the rear 18" VFR wheel with a 17" RVF one. The stance of the bike is so much better and the tyres are cheaper. They are a direct swap and the same style. There is a company which makes them new as copies of the original. Just a quick Google search will find plenty of them.
what a classic bike, looking forward to seeing this fully restored to its original condition, tragic to see this iconic bike in such a state. You are more than up to the task, cannae wait for the final reveal!
Its defo an iconic wee bike, I've been after one for years and thought you know what I'm going to restore one for you guys that's why its taken so long for this video as i was struggling to get one. its going to be awesome to get to the end of this project and see it showroom fresh again :)
@@RRCRestoration these small VFR's from early 90's are really sought after...as with other so called "Grey Import" bikes from Japan home market...i owned 2 Japan market bikes...a CB1 400 and then a Super4 400...that was the quickest disassembly of a bike i've ever seen...and i'm so eager for the next installment...i've got my KH250B for another project if you like Kawasaki triple strokers...they're quite rare now...and i'm sure viewers would like to see a professional restore of one to your usual high standard...Mark in London
Fantastic motorcycle. Its one of the most beautiful bikes ever built. Great V4 Sound. I own a vfr 750, from 1992 RC 36/1. With one preowner and 108.000 km in Original condition. Great Video. Greetings from Austria.
This brings back memories of my scruffy VFR400, it was a runner and ran flawlessly after the carbs were cleaned. It was sold on twice and ended up being sent to the US. Only thing I can recommend is changing the rads for new ones but make sure the top rad is curved, makes hell of a difference.
I think this restoration is going to take quite a few episodes! As far as I am concerned, the more the merrier. I always liked these bikes and also the bigger version (750 & 800). looking forward to the series.
Yeah for such a small package there is soo much work to be done to get it into tip top condition again but the plus side of that is plenty of interesting content for you guys ;)
Please more superbike restorations! I managed to completely restore a crashed R1 2007 thanks to the knowledge i gathered mainly from you. We are talking not only on the mechanical spectrum, but also painting and clear coating the frame and re-painting the original fairings to a beautiful black gloss with factory stickers!
Love VFRs...best bikes Honda put their name on. Can't wait to see what you do with this to bring it back to life. Thanks for bringing this to your channel.
They are great bikes, I have no idea why they go as cheap as they do, here in NZ you can sell early GSX-R750s all day long for silly money, but clean VFR750s of similar vintage go for less than half the price. I have my eye on an 86 VFR750F (In white) with only 36,000 km on the clock, the guy who owns it has it sitting in the foyer of building, never rides it anymore, its pristine. Ive almost got him convinced him to sell it to me.😄
I wonder how many people catch/notice the cinematography and editing. When you pulled the exhaust and water spilled out, and you recreated the water drop from a different angle... *chefs kiss. You did it again with the nut being dropped into the container and again when picking up the bolt from the floor. It’s all in the details. Keep up the kick ass efforts. Love, Chris Nolan
Stuck watching these restoration videos while I recover after my rs125 locked up the rear wheel on me round a corner🤦🏼♂️ she’ll need fixing up once I’m recovered! You’re videos are great and give me hope I’ll get mine looking good again :).
I once found an NC45 here in NZ at a car sales yard fresh out of a container from Japan, that had been pampered, and someone had spent a LOT of Yen on it. It was dripping in HRC kit parts, the car yard guys had no idea what they had. I got it so cheap because it wasn't running due to gummed up carbs.😄
Hows the FJ resto going? I'm about 2/3s of the way through my 87 FZR1000 restoration, I'm having difficulty finding some engine parts i need, namely exhaust valve springs (and valves). Loads of bits for the later EXUP motors, but the 87/88 are a different engine, based on the earlier FZ750.
always look forward to a new video from you.... your abilities are a rare thing in todays world! - would you consider doing a video/series on your end to end plating process and how someone can get started in it without buying commercially available kits that dont seem to do a decent job? your re-finishing is truly a thing of beauty lol
This is going to be a long series, but I'm looking forward to it. The teasers on patreon didn't give a full picture of the task ahead. Now it's out there and it looks rough as toast! Bring it on!🤩
Hey buddy good to hear from you, Yeah its going to be a long-ish series just with the amount of work i want to document for you but I'll do my best not to take it too far I wouldn't want you to lose interest in the project ;)
Can’t wait for this build When you do the engine check rear cylinder plug threads they tend to get cross threaded by owners trying to change the plugs without proper access 👍
Fronts are surely worse! Take the tank and seat off and the rears are easy with plenty of access. Fronts though very little space with the rad in the way. Although even the fronts are easier using the original plug spanner from the toolkit!
I'm working on my 1983 honda xr500r a.t.m. and i'm always impressed how you make everything look so eazy😅. A lot of work goes in these restorations and you're doing them the best on the internet(in my opinion).
One of the best fun bikes I've ridden, what muppet kept in that condition? one of the best Imports ever, good luck, but I'm sure with your talent it will be another cracker, can't wait for the finished bike 👍
Nice to see you again, I think its just many years and many owners adding to the neglect and iffy styling choices lol. Cant wait to get it back to standard as i think the VFR looks brilliant in its original red white and blue colour scheme.
@@RRCRestoration I'm so glad you're going back to red white and blue, it just doesn't look right in black. I think this is your toughest challenge yet, I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
As the owner of an NC35 I can't believe this video came out! I already know you will do it justice mate, if you need parts Rick Oliver is a wealth of knowledge and extremely helpful.
Lovely bike, hopefully this one turns out just as nice . Yeah his name has popped up a few times now and I'll certainly be in touch with him. Cheers buddy.
@@RRCRestoration no worries, there are lots of resources for these bikes and parts supply is about as good as you can hope for for a 30 year old bike. Good luck and have fun!
Just yesterday I was thinking we’ve not had an RRC restoration recently. Then you upload this! Excellent. Really looking forward to following your progress.
Thumbs up Mate. Love old Bikes, especially Hondas and other Japs. Have a 98 FireBlade. Good old Bike with less elektric and a strong engine. Its a pleasure to watch your Video.
Bought my vfr400 after passing my test. I was so impressed that the upgrade had to be to vfr750, possibly the best bike honda ever made. Great to see this one being saved by a professional
Oh wow, Mr. RRC! Fabulous choice!! We never got the 400 over here, but I had a Honda brochure for the RC30 in my high school locker. Can’t wait to see this!!
Loved the little goldeneye piece, and slowly getting less camera shy too, great little additions to the channel. Looking forward to seeing the process with this one.
Yeah its a real pity but hey look on the bright side if it wasn't treated so harshly it would never have found its way into the RRC workshop to be given a new lease on life ;) Very nice bikes my friend.
Was briefly excited at the prospect of you restoring an actual Honda Legend, as that was my first car and a truly great one! But I’ll happily watch another bike.
The VFR is one of the best bikes Honda ever built. 😊 And as always, perfekt Videoangle and Cut. Cant wait to see the next parts. Thanks for sharing this labour extensive videos with us. 🤗
One thing i love about restoring different bikes, is seeing how different manufactures designed their bikes. I'm into 80s bikes and the big four were really trying everything and anything back then, each had their own approach and style.
@@AlexHemarios Nice! I'm trying to convince a guy i know, to sell me his white 86 VFR750, its only done around 36,000km, and is pristine, he doesn't ride it anymore, it just sits in the foyer of his office.
Pleasure to watch you work mate. I had an NC29 Gullarm years back - great bike but always in the shadow of the NC30. Looking forward to seeing this one come back together.
awww yeah!!! now I'll need to be even more picky about my next project to get higher up the list haha. Once This one is factory fresh again I might bring it down to you so you can do a bit of a review on it 😉
Watching e 2 of VFR 400 I admire both your work, and work habits You asked for comment re " a bad mistake" . I believe that you installed one of the rear hub bearings in reverse. The fact that you encourage constructive feedback is a testament to your character.
Oh yes. Finally a real older, natural bike. Can't wait to continue the renovation. . Please show the carburetor cleaning and adjustment process. Along with synchronization..
Wow, you weren't kidding on the Patreon post. This poor VFR400 is in such a sorry state. I'm sure you’ll be able to bring it back to life in no time; that's just the way you roll. I can't wait to see all your hard work pay off, especially restoring all that bodywork and paint. The engine should be especially tricky, considering there was water in the exhaust. Let's hope it doesn't prove too problematic for you; whatever happens, I’m sure you’ll work it all out soon enough. Thank you, my friend, for always giving us your best and we’ll see you on the next episode. Stay safe.
You realize your videos very well, you’re thorough in your work, you’re orderly. Everything is perfect. I love watching your videos. Congratulations ! 👍
Excellent video, it's not flash, it's unpretentious and down to earth, there's no bull shit. Well done the creator, you've get yourself a new subscriber
This is going to be an awesome re build, I don't envy you having to sort those plastics dude that's for sure! I had an inport 400 as my first post test bike, you could rev it to the moon and back all day long.
639k subs and 975k views of this part 1 restoration!! Wow, you have created something of considerable value in 5 years (is it?). If I ever need my appendix out, I will come to your shop. Spotless and so well organized that it could be a surgeon’s operating theater! Brilliant content.
You, Sir, are the most terrifyingly methodical and thorough mechanic I have ever seen; I can't wait to see the clean-up and restoration phases of this wonderful little bike!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you are looking forward to the series :)
Always look forward to an RRC video quality work done right awesome stuff !
Thank you so much for your generosity my friend I cant thank you enough :)

If he gets a dry patch waiting for parts I wouldn't mind seeing him restore that jack, poor thing has seen some action.
Really glad to hear you are excited to see the project unfolding :) as for the jack yeah it defo needs some love its lifted plenty of tonnage in its lifetime
vfr400 nc30 was my first proper bike, watched this a few weeks ago and as a result am now the proud owner of a knackered old vfr400 nc30 project. Will be watching closely lol!.
The joy was already high, but it jumped off the scale when the coffee break Goldeneye segment came on!! 😍👍📈
I am a huge VFR fan, and the RVF400 is what started it all for me. Can't wait to watch this!! 👍👍👍
Glad to have you along for the ride my friend :)

Can’t wait for this build
When you do the engine
check rear cylinder plug threads they tend to get cross threaded by owners trying to change the plugs without proper access 👍
Cheers for the tip, I'll be sure to pay extra attention to that ;)
Fronts are surely worse! Take the tank and seat off and the rears are easy with plenty of access. Fronts though very little space with the rad in the way.
Although even the fronts are easier using the original plug spanner from the toolkit!
@@fastdruid you’d think but the two I worked on had spat the dummy from the rear cos the threads had been hashed

Life is too short for this type of project for me. Bless you for having the stamina to try it.
How refreshing. A no nonsense, non bullshitting TH-camr.

Never seen a rusty nut or anything on these Restors, always so straight forward.
Wow another great project. Looking forward to seeing this one come together. By far the best restoration channel. Thank you
Thank you so much :)
Pleasure to watch you work mate. I had an NC29 Gullarm years back - great bike but always in the shadow of the NC30. Looking forward to seeing this one come back together.
I love watching all of your restoration projects, makes me feel like taking one on.
OK, now you've gone from top 5 favourite YT channels ever to top 3. Watching this as I look at my own NC30 😍
awww yeah!!! now I'll need to be even more picky about my next project to get higher up the list haha. Once This one is factory fresh again I might bring it down to you so you can do a bit of a review on it 😉
Watching e 2 of VFR 400 I admire both your work, and work habits You asked for comment re " a bad mistake" . I believe that you installed one of the rear hub bearings in reverse. The fact that you encourage constructive feedback is a testament to your character.
Oh yes. Finally a real older, natural bike. Can't wait to continue the renovation. .
Please show the carburetor cleaning and adjustment process. Along with synchronization..
Really looking forward to seeing this one evolve back to its former glory, at the hands of the best restorer on the Tube.......
As someone who bought a wreck of a CBR400RR NC23 not too long ago (drunk on ebay)...I appreciate the series and what are fantastic bikes. Subscribed!
Wow, you weren't kidding on the Patreon post. This poor VFR400 is in such a sorry state. I'm sure you’ll be able to bring it back to life in no time; that's just the way you roll. I can't wait to see all your hard work pay off, especially restoring all that bodywork and paint. The engine should be especially tricky, considering there was water in the exhaust. Let's hope it doesn't prove too problematic for you; whatever happens, I’m sure you’ll work it all out soon enough. Thank you, my friend, for always giving us your best and we’ll see you on the next episode. Stay safe.
You realize your videos very well, you’re thorough in your work, you’re orderly.
Everything is perfect.
I love watching your videos.
Congratulations ! 👍
Just discovered this..another NC30 rebuild and restoration. One more back on the road. Love it!
The Algorithm brought me here. Glad it did. I shall be following you and your progress on this VFR. Awesome so far!
Thank you , Welcome aboard :)
To me you are a hero bringing that iconic bike back to life!!!!
We’re absolutely sure you’re up to the challenge. I feel some interesting content is going to grace you’re channel. Good stuff.
Excellent video, it's not flash, it's unpretentious and down to earth, there's no bull shit. Well done the creator, you've get yourself a new subscriber
This is going to be an awesome re build, I don't envy you having to sort those plastics dude that's for sure!
I had an inport 400 as my first post test bike, you could rev it to the moon and back all day long.
Sat watching this with a nice pint of cider on my sofa with the rain pouring out side and I couldn’t care less, great video 👍
I thought it was hard work getting spares for my 1991 NSR. That is going to be next level difficult ! Looking forward to the finished product
639k subs and 975k views of this part 1 restoration!! Wow, you have created something of considerable value in 5 years (is it?). If I ever need my appendix out, I will come to your shop. Spotless and so well organized that it could be a surgeon’s operating theater!
Brilliant content.
Been eagerly awaiting another restoration series, and this is going to be...............EPIC!!!!!
Thank you, Glad you are looking forward to it :)
