Honda introduced the VFR400R in 1986 with the NC21 generation – the year after they debuted the NC24, which benefitted from the PRO-ARM single-sided swingarm.

The 399cc V-Four engine produced a claimed 59 horsepower and was notable for the distinctive sound of the gear-driven camshafts.

The base NC24 is a wonderful bike that constantly won 400cc shootouts. But for one year, Honda offered an official Rothmans replica livery.

We gave it a quick wipe down before the listing and Olly noted that the engine turns over but leaks fuel.
