The Best Of Honda

A recent WebBikeWorld.com article by Simon Bertram caught my attention by virtue of its title: The Best Honda Motorcycles Ever Made. That's an ambitious subject, considering we're talking about the world's largest motorsport manufacturer. 

The lead photo (right) features Bubba Shobert on his championship winning VFR, so one might suspect that the Interceptor won a spot in the list, and it kind of did, by way of the VFR750R, aka RC30.

From the author:
"...what makes the VFR750R one of the best Honda bikes ever made, is that they were essentially race bikes with street parts on them. If you bought the right HRC parts, which in and of itself was difficult, you could quite literally ride around on a perfectly street legal racing bike.
The VFR750R RC30 goes down in history as the winner of the first two World SBK Championship seasons, as well as one of the best homologation specials ever made, and is one of the most sought after Honda bikes of all time for the collector’s market.
It’s also one of the greatest Honda motorcycles ever made simply because it was designed, made, and built for one purpose only: to utterly destroy every other manufacturer on the track, which it did in fine style."

​Also listed was the NR750 V4:
 "This, here, was the bike that launched the hypersport name. This, here, was the motorcycle that dared to push the limits of what was acceptable in a street bike. This, here, was the beast that revolutionized so much about motorcycles that it is cemented in history. This, here, is the 1992 Honda NR750."
