March 2008[edit]
Regarding the last edit by 82.36.96.9, while it is correct that the picture is of a VFR750P, the page is called VFR750F, so (whilst we have what is actually an inappropriate picture) I settled for clarifying in the photo caption (visible when the cursor is hovered over the pic) that the photo was actually of the police model, VFR750P...

Expand: VF750F[edit]
This article needs significant expansion of the ill-starred 1984 VF750F. For example:

- @Dennis Bratland: have there been editorial issues going on, I'm not seeing a need for this - and in fact parts of the article appear to use US spelling. — xaosflux Talk 20:51, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- It looks like the first non-vandalism edit was [23], establishing UK spelling per WP:RETAIN. I've tried to make it consistent now, though it needs a rewrite. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:07, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Not done @Dennis Bratland: in general WP:ENGVAR already says to leave pages in the style they are already in, if this page ends up having a recurring issue with engvar violations we can through that notice up. — xaosflux Talk 23:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Centre stand claim re. RC36-2[edit]
Bennett's says with respect to the 1994–1997 — VFR750FR/S/T/V (RC36-2) that is was the first VFR750 model with a centre stand.
That's not correct. According to Churchill, Jeremy; Coombs, Mark (1998). Honda VFR750 & 700 V-Fours '86 to '97 Service and Repair Manual. Vol. 2101. Sparkford, Somerset, BA22 7JJ, UK: Haynes. p. 6.4. ISBN 1 85960 365 3.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: location (link)
'The centerstand is attached to the frame as follows:
- On J and K models ...
- On R models onward ...
- On all other models, refer to step B above ...'
As far as I can tell, all the road-going VFR750s have centre stands. The J model came out in 1988. I've got a VFR750FG (1986 model year) in my garage and it's certainly sat on a centre stand provided as original equipment by Honda.
Formatting/Language Style[edit]
Hi guys! Just noticed that some of the language used throughout this article is a little informal. In addition, some of the sentences are incomplete or don't make proper sense. I have gone through and tweaked a few!
Lead Section and Citation[edit]
Hi there! I made a few grammatical corrections to the lead section to try and improve the overall tone and writing style. I also added an already-used source to another sentence that needed a citation. --Redherring22 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:05, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
