This time on RRC Restoration I'm taking on the challenge of restoring this barn find 1990 Honda VFR400 NC30. As you can see from the video its in very poor condition and needs a lot of love to get it back to a condition where its deserving of its legendary status. this is going to be a multi part series as there is just so much work to be done and getting parts is very hard these days so doing it all in a single episode would be impossible unless you were willing to wait a year haha.

A new addition to my videos from now on will be a water mark and my channel name popping up in random places throughout the video as I'm getting rather tired of people re-uploading my content as their own I hope you guys understand.

    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!
  • @StereoFozzie
    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.
  • @SyreshamPBS
    The joy was already high, but it jumped off the scale when the coffee break Goldeneye segment came on!! 😍👍📈
  • @Sev_Auk
    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

    I am a huge VFR fan, and the RVF400 is what started it all for me. Can't wait to watch this!! 👍👍👍
  • @leesmith6750
    So glad this is a multi episode strip and build. Could watch these sort of transformations all day long. Eagerly awaiting the next instalment.
  • @headrace4863
    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.
  • @scubavader
    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!
  • @r1273m
    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.
  • @Mattster0802
    I love your videos! No music, no distractions, just top notch work that’s mesmerizing and addictive. Keep the vids coming, mate!
  • @stuarttaylor4186
    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!.
  • @a8f235
    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...
  • @firestorm755
    You make it look so easy! The nuts on the downpipes, on VTR that was a two day battle
  • @reinhardzinter2219
    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.
  • @buckleheid
    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!
  • @seanylewl
    Hell yes! REALLY excited to see how this one goes! What a cool bike
  • @shaunflynn7301
    I'm one minute in and already in awe at taking on such a wreck. Condensing this to 19 minutes - you are a gent!
  • @AutoalexCars
    OK, now you've gone from top 5 favourite YT channels ever to top 3. Watching this as I look at my own NC30 😍
  • @ACCORDriver_NL
    Great to see and can't wait to see the next episode on this restoration! Thanks for sharing!
